We have a Happy Hour as the afternoon activity on Friday's at our facility. It's a chance for the residents to have a social glass of wine or bottle of beer (teas, coffee's, milkshakes, soft drinks etc for those that don't drink alcohol) Its combined with quiz questions and a music CD. Once a month a couple of volunteer's come in and play piano and we have a sing-a-long with the Happy Hour too.
We also have a Garden Café once a week. We take a little coffee pod machine outside and enjoy the café experience in gorgeous surrounds at the facility.
Thank you Golden carers for all the great ideas. My residents really enjoy the quizzes and some of the craft activities. They especially want "This day in history". I try to make it a morning ritual after the newspaper reading. This month there are so many great ideas for St Patrick's day, many I have printed off to use. I take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy St Patrick's day. Here is my beautiful cat, she is much more photogenic than me!
