I discovered that hand massage and nail painting in the same session doesn't work well. The nail polish literally slid off the nails overnight. It seems a shame to give a lovely hand massage and then wipe it completely dry before applying polish. Now I do either/or and the residents are not disappointed.
I absolutely love this site. I find the resources and ideas invaluable in my role as a Recreational Activities Officer in a large Nursing Home. The abundance of ideas, quizzes, and printable forms are helping me help the residents find their inner “fun” which had previously been missing. THANK YOU from myself and the residents!!
