We do something very similar. I take a branch in a pot to work ( or draw a tree on the whiteboard) and our clients write on coloured paper leaves and hang (or stick) them onto the tree. Our Thanksgiving Tree looks beautiful!
My residents love to talk, we often have discussion groups where I ask a simple question and a very long discussion ensues with so many different subjects it goes for ages. I can see these activities being very rewarding in my facility thanks for the ideas. Lisa
We have been a member of Golden Carers for the past 5 years and honestly, it makes our lives here both easier and more interesting!!! The hours it saves us when planning activities for our residents result in delivering quality activities. Our residents love the word searches and crosswords and the armchair travels have brought happy memories of holidays. Thank you for all you do!
