Hi team,
I have just returned to work on the 7th Jan. after being ill for a month and while I was recovering I thought I better get cracking and plan for the next three months. I decided to work on Elvis' birthday so printed out photos and laminated them at work in the morning.
Considering I had not planned anything at work (as I was not there) the activity went down really well with all. Staff enjoyed the music as did the residents visiting families at the time. Most liked Elvis' music and those that didn't still attended the activity to look on. The group are very high care. I used the Elvis quiz with residents having a go and the visitors. The whole activity went for (2) hours. A lot of discussions about Elvis and his life were held. A whole lot of fun and laughter with enjoyment to boot before lunch was served. On Friday I am having foot spas followed by massages and moisturising their skin, then on Monday I am trying the collage with gum nuts & leaves and what ever else suits.
Thankyou again for this wonderful site, the work you do in supplying resources for us all is just the best.
Have a happy new year. Lyn

Glad you had such fun after such a short planning time. Our residents were not very receptive to Elvis' birthday. I did play the music, but they were not interested in the Quiz.
