Thanks Monika, Our residents aren't used to a mid christmas Day and while being off on sick leave they planned one. Result When it came to christmas time everybody was so confused....Love the Idea of a Winter Feast, Thankyou for solving a on going problem....Debs
Hi Monika, I know its late but last year the kitchen made cupcake & we put jaffas on top & brought red items in eg, tomato sauce bottle, red apple,red lipstick, scarf etc & put 6 items on a tray & gave residents 2mins to remember items & then changed item for the next group. This was great to get the brain active & they enjoyed same. Also follow with hangman with red things (capsicum) etc.As staff for red ideas. Hope this helps.
Instead if having christmas in july which confuses quite a few residents we have decided to have a Winter Feast...everything will be white, i.e. tableclothes, napkins, table centrepieces etc. Food will be traditional christmas fare including pudding. Invitations have been extended to family/relatives to attend. Any ideas re decor would be appreciated...Mon
