Hey all, NAWL is coming up September 13-19 and I'm trying to plan a fun week of honoring our staff and caregivers, as well as our residents. The theme this year is "Caring is EssentiAL" so I'm thinking of mirroring an idea from one of our sister communities by having a theme for each day, "Health is EssentiAL," Nutrition is EssentiAL," etc. I'd love to see what ideas you all can provide as well! Thanks!
Hi Leanne I think exercise is essential I think mental stimulation is essential I think socializing is essential Which includes going to activities because they are social
Golden Carers is a wonderful resource. I really like the idea that more of it is going to be in video format as this grabs my participant's attention! Even after 20 years in the activity director role, the ideas in Golden Carers are often refreshingly innovative and really useful, even on the fly. Your help is invaluable! Many thanks!
