we do a tea party every year. This is one of our biggest events. We serve finger foods, mainly dessert type of things and make our dining room as girly as possible.
In years past we would have a brunch in our atrium for the mother’s and their family members. During brunch the mother’s would receive a #1 mom button and a bouquet of flowers.
We also do a Mother's Day tea with finger foods and a variety of different teas. We invite everyone to bring a picture of their mother or their children and to share stories. It some times starts a little slow but once they start talking it is just amazing to see how they light up and get involved in sharing memories.
Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.
Thanks!
