I like to have a Valentine’s Day party where I tell each resident why we love them we do this in between singing love with songs and doing trivia about Valentine’s Day
The residents seem to love it and feel very good after it is over even though it doesn’t cost me much we do serve cake or something else sweet at the end
In my opinion always better to serve food at the end of the activity
