Google “silhouette” men or women. Print out on card stock. Let the resident have fun choosing the flowers and gems they want to display on the picture. Hot glue, staple, whatever will make them stick! Have FUN!

We really had a great time accessorizing these silhouettes. We have had family and friends wanting to purchase them! (Hmmm not a bad idea for a fundraiser!)

HISTORICAL LONERS in a SNF... We have a group of Residents that are "historical loners". They do not like to socialize with others. If they do, it might be for 5-10 minute or less(only when smoking). They only come out of their rooms for smoking, at various times, then go back into their rooms and watch TV or sleep. Trying to engage them into participate with the activities, that they themselves stated they like to do (upon admission and besides smoking) is very difficult. Please, if anyone has any suggestions as to what I can offer, please toss them to me, I think I'm a pretty good catcher(ha, ha)!

"Dollar Tree Auction" We provide the fake money and hand- made paddles for them to bid. We have some items donated within the month and some items (snacks, perfume, bar soap, etc.) we purchase at the Dollar Tree Store. We've had Residents buy a can of chips for $25 and a package of socks sold for $150! Some of the staff get involved by assisting residents, bidding for them! They look forward to it each month! Try it and see how it goes!
