I am a brand new activity director at a brand new facility opening next month! I am so over the moon excited! One of the things that I'd like to plan is a shadow box event for the residents in the memory unit. Each of their apartments has built in recessed shadow boxes next to the entrance to their units. I'd like to have family and residents work together in a group setting with supplies etc. to create their entry box creations. My idea is to invite them to bring photos, mementos, etc... do you have any direction, ideas, photos, experiences you could share? Thank you so much! I am thrilled to have found this fantastic resource!
You will find many good resources on the site Congratulations on your new role

Hi Brian, congratulations! I love that you are already planning to involve the family in your activities, it's so important! Looking at photos and memorabilia of the residents is a personal favorite and I wrote out an activity we've done on our unit https://www.goldencarers.com/reminiscing-how-to-create-a-memory-board/5484/. Again, congrats!
I accidentally stumbled upon goldencarers, it's been four years, and the site never ever fails to satisfy and create happiness throughout our communities weather they be assisted living or memory care. You complete our monthly gift of smiles, laughter and fun. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to the many for your contributions, sharing and overall love to goldencarers! God Bless
