Hi Lindsey

You can take some ideas from this article

https://www.goldencarers.com/how-to-start-a-new-resident-welcome-program/5747/

I would start by giving potential residents a monthly and/or weekly Activity calendar and highlight some of the bread, cinnamon favorites, and ask the potential resident but their favorite are

Hopefully you will have similar activities on the calendar

Show them where are you conduct many of the activities

Talk about special activities, such as monthly birthday parties and event for the holidays

Tell them about friendship, clubs for residents

Highlight what you do at resident council meeting

Maybe have a little gift for them also

Such as the ones recommended in this article

Hi again, Lindsey

What about a small snack

What about a trivia sheet or a joke sheet with the logo of your facility

I love Golden Carers - it's a fantastic resource! I not only find great activities for my seniors, but I'm also inspired me to make my own activities to share. Thanks so much & keep up the wonderful job!
