We hosted a 'High Tea' to honor the Royal Wedding with freshly made scones, jam and cream and other delicacies.
It worked well!
We had a 'royal quiz' and 'who is your favorite (and least favorite) royal?
We played some beautiful classical music.
I put some of my own ideas into play but the basic idea to host a high tea came from Golden Carers.
Thank you!

We also had a royal tea and dress show. staff brought in grad gowns, wedding dresses to share for our show. We even had a dress from one of the residents as well. All were on display for residents to view! Our tables were adorned with royal photos collected from magazines over the last few months, some fake jewels, as well as wedding photos of our own residents. Residents had made fascinator previously and wore them. Music from Harry and Meghan royal playlist was played!!!
Lots of fun !!

I just love love love this site - each time I'm glued to the many and awesome ideas to engage with our seniors. I recently downloaded some of the crossword puzzles and these seniors are fabulous to work with. That is just the tip of the iceberg. In this new chapter of my life, as semi-retired, I am so enjoying my time with seniors and watching them light up; I feel I've found a new niche. It's extremely gratifying. As to the cost of membership, it came out of my pocket - I rationalised that it was only about $3/month, less than many magazines. So keep up the GREAT work!!! Thanks again Golden Carers!!!!!

Nine Letter Word Puzzles

I'm about to start a new job as an activity coordinator and one of my ladies loves the nine letter word puzzles in the newspaper so I thought I'd make her some.
