Hi there, I was thinking about doing an activity for the care givers in the facility I work at. They work very hard and want to do something to show how much we appreciate them. Was thinking of doing a craft project called staff and craft. Any good fall ideas to do a project with?

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?
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.
I have been in this field for close to 15 years. I came across your website initially because I was searching for a shared, personal forum with other professionals in my field that was not attached to random advertising and monthly fees. After discovering your website which hosted a forum that was exactly what I was looking for, as well as providing a mountain of resources that didn’t require you to follow several external links to get to, and to top it off no monthly recurring fee...Jackpot!

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
