I made up a picture board in our activity room of residents. The board has a poster heading "Now and "Then". I asked family to bring photos of their loved ones when they were younger and with the approval of the family , I take recent pictures of residents . I then post pictures under each "now and Then" . People would have to guess which resident picture belong to whom. This get people guessing and conversation going. Have residents and staff try to match photos and guess .
Hi Traci I am not sure if you have Dollarama stores in your area. I found shadow box or picture frame that could be used as a shadow box. price starts at $2.50
I just wanted to say thank you for all you do to help me and others in my field! The support of your resource has been even more important during COVID and I am so, so thankful. Also thank you for creating a Spanish version of This Day in History!!! I recommend you to my colleagues any chance I get.
