Thank you so much for such an awesome resource, and to everyone who shares their ideas. It really takes the pressure off and allows more time to be spent with the people we care for, who after all need our time more than anything else. Much appreciated :)

Hello I am an activities coordinator for assisted living, and i am trying to figure out some activities for my residents on Thanksgiving day because I will be off that day. Any ideas?
Hi Robin
Here are some ideas
https://www.goldencarers.com/six-thanksgiving-traditions-worth-embracing/5295/
Are you going to have an activity staff person there or is it up to the other staff to do an activity
Some of these suggestions can be done with staff or volunteers or maybe even having the higher functioning residents lead the activity
You could also ask the residents what they want to do
Do you have a lot of family members that come in ??
Do a lot of residents go out of the facility for Thanksgiving ??
You may want to have the kitchen make a special Thanksgiving dinner for those who are staying at the facility
You may want to invite families to join the residents if there’s enough staff to do this
Let us know what you decide to do and how it works out
Hi Robin, there are some very enjoyable and simple activities that a volunteer or a residents' relative can easily lead when staff is on leave. For instance 'Thanksgiving Game' or 'Thanksgiving Bingo'. They are also two 'Thanksgiving Dinner' games that I believe are suitable.
