Last year I had this problem on a unit I was covering over the summer time. And it really got to me as they were always asking what are the other residents were up to and what programs were happening on a daily bases. But they would never come to the group programs. All they wanted to do was chat which was ok as I got to know them better. Then I thought what about Special take out lunch. and I did it just for these residents. first one swiss chalet, then kfc, then pizza.
I invited them personally, the room was set up formally and they got to know each other.
After doing this I started to notice that they would be going to each others rooms and checking in on each other.

what about inspirational saying board, joke board

Just read these stories to my residents and they really enjoyed them.
Thank you for them all.

Just did a high tea party with a small group of residents. They enjoyed all the poems I read.
One resident said some of the poems gave such meaning.
Thank you so much from all of us.

this would be amazing. think u am going to try this one out.

I am going to have a quiz night. Going to use this for sure.

I would like to say that this site is AMAZING!!!!! I work in a facility of 224 residents and I go to different units each day. You have helped me a lot.

I work evening in our life enrichment department. Our residents love games and socials. I am so going to try this out. It looks like fun.

Happy new year!!! I hope your year comes with joy and happiness.

Thank you so much for sharing. My entertainment was cancelled on the 1st and trying to think of something different to do to bring in the new year. That will be fun.
