Below are things I have had success with that are easy and can be adapted to your residents' specific needs.

Most have jobs for every participant.

Let me know what you think'Susan

Don’t forget to include refreshments

Both staff and residents will appreciate that

You could do a thank you wall. Use different coloured paper and have clients pick a word they use to describe the carers. Then stick them up onto one wall for everyone to see. I also would put a big sign in the middle or at the top saying Thank You or What we think of our carers? You could also stick photo's up between the comments?

Thank you for your ideas Belinda

You could also do staff awards, where residents vote for staff members that have made a difference to them. Have a couple cool prizes available for the staff members that get the most votes.

Thank you for this idea Kim
