You're quite the special angel here to assist everyone. It takes a special kind of person to deal with seniors - they are not given the respect or credit they so deserve to have lasted this long on this earth. To have witnessed such history is amazing. So many are forgotten about and I try everyday to share RAOKs (Random Acts of Kindness) with any person I see that could use it - thank you again for the great ideas which I hope to spread around the area to help make others know how special they are.

Here are some ideas
Tell the resident you need her help and hopefully she will help you
Tell the resident that her doctor wants her to go to activities
Tell the resident that her family wants her to go to activities in fact invite her family to come to some of the residents activities
I never asked if a resident want to go I would say should we go now or in 10 minutes
Send her a personal invitation
If I think about this I'm sure I can, come up with more but that's all I have right now
