I am looking forward to the responses you receive Leanne. As a new coordinator we have very little cultural events and while we don't have the biggest range of nationalities, I still want to make sure everyone is accommodated.

To Leane who works in multicultural facility. I found that Indian cooking, snacks such as pakoras, or samosas were a big hit with the residents, including the Aussie residents. Ask a family member to help with the program and you will find the residents will truly enjoy it. Happy to let you know how I went.
You're quite the special angel here to assist everyone. It takes a special kind of person to deal with seniors - they are not given the respect or credit they so deserve to have lasted this long on this earth. To have witnessed such history is amazing. So many are forgotten about and I try everyday to share RAOKs (Random Acts of Kindness) with any person I see that could use it - thank you again for the great ideas which I hope to spread around the area to help make others know how special they are.
