Hi kirsty, I know how you feel, it's been a tough year, and as an activity co ordinator I've had to completely adapt to changes with residents needs on a daily basis. I try to do a couple of big activities a week like Cheese and wine Mad haters tea party Food tasting from around the world Themed afternoon Afternoon tea Lounge games Games tournaments and then I try to do some smaller activities making sure every residents gets time with me. Last year we did a cruise ship, where we had a party to set sail, I printed tickets, got staff to dress as sailors, then every week the ship docked in a different country, we had food, music, games from that country, four weeks later we had a home coming party. The residents have asked to do it again. Good luck and stay safe. Julie
I truly am so grateful I have found this group. I am looking forward to your emails everyday and it feels like it has given me a new lease on my working life as I went through a rough patch for a while. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do!
