Hello. my residents have been on lock down due to a covid out break .We are finally getting cleared and getting ready to open the activity room. I wanted to do something special for them since they been so bored . I was thinking of having the staff vote for king and queen and then doing something special for the winners. Does anyone have some ideas to share with me that would be great. Thank you so much!
Hi Nancy I don’t think I would pick a king and queen, because some of the residents might be upset that they weren’t picked Since found times day is soon why not host a Valentine’s Day party? https://www.goldencarers.com/how-to-host-a-valentines-day-party/4632/ If you don’t think you have enough time to do that, then, perhaps a spring party might be in order https://www.goldencarers.com/spring-party/4057/ Another idea might be to Have a resident council meeting and asked the resident what they want to do Whatever you do, make sure you thank everyone for their patience and cooperation during the difficult time You might even want to tell each and every resident why you love them, which is something I always did at a Valentines party, but you could do it no matter what party you have
Golden Carers is a phenomenal and creative resource of activities for the senior population and people with dementia. They also provide resources and support for the caregiver too. I liked all the different types of activities that were available. You could pick and choose from a plethora of items the activities appropriate for your group. Keep on doing what you are doing. So many people's lives have been touched and improved by your website. Your website is a blessing to many organisations.
