Hello All! After nearly 5 months of restrictions, my long-term care facility is planning to reopen for outdoor visitation in the next 1-2 weeks, following all CDC and state guidelines. I was wondering if anyone has any creative ideas for setting up outdoor visitation spaces for our residents to visit with their loved ones? I was also wondering if anyone has any insight on ways your activities department is incorporating recreation programs into these outdoor family visits? In my facility, the activity team will be escorting residents outside as well as monitoring visits and ensuring that all participants are following/meeting all recommended guidelines/expectations.
I would like to thank you all for everything you've done to help people like us, giving us the new ideas and confidence to carry on doing what we do. As you must be aware it's not the easiest job in the world, especially trying to get a smile out of someone. I wish you all the possible good wishes for the future and do hope you will continue for many years to come.
