We are going to watch a beautifully narrated DVD on Lighthouses and we will color panels that have lighthouses outlined on them. I am also going to purchase lighthouse cookies to enjoy. The panels will be hung for all to see!
I also use Chicken Soup for the Soul books. They have so many stories to choose from and you can get them to complement the different seasons. My residents love them!

Hi Kymberly, I schedule 1:1's every day for those unable or unwilling to participate in group activities. One of my favorite things to do is a reminiscing board. I ask family members for pictures and ideas of what they liked...if no family is available, I go through picture books with them to get an idea of what they like and go from there. When people visit their room they can start a nice conversation just by looking at the board...it tells a story about the person. As far as a form, there are some very helpful forms on activityconnection.com Good Luck and keep up the great work!
Golden Carers is just wonderful. An amazing resource shared all over the world. I use Golden carers on a daily basis and added with Pinterest, it just makes my job that little bit easier on those days when inspiration doesn't come easy. I love that there is always something new every time I look.
