That is a great date to celebrate with themed events, parties, and concerts, for both residents and staff.
Here is a small list:
- Invite a Fire Brigade truck for a few hours - Remember Elvis Presley (with or without an impersonator) - Wheelchair Race - Have a Luau party - Invite a Spanish folk dancing group to perform (or any other folk group) - Staff Line Dancing - watch a wonderful movie together - Food Festival - Hillbilly Day, and more.
Golden Carers is a wonderful resource. I really like the idea that more of it is going to be in video format as this grabs my participant's attention! Even after 20 years in the activity director role, the ideas in Golden Carers are often refreshingly innovative and really useful, even on the fly. Your help is invaluable! Many thanks!
