Hello everyone, this website and the resources found here have been such a blessing for me. My building administrator and myself are wanting to increase activity participation. I have been working for months to try and come up with a solid way to help staff know who would like to be up for activities and figuring out how to have staff help get them to and from the activities. We are a smaller building and a mix of skilled and long term care. It is just myself during the week for activities staff. I have looked at the resources for increasing participation but any and all suggestions are welcome!
I co-own and operate a small assisted living home in Pittsfield, NH (U.S.A.). We consistently seek ways to improve upon our senior activity program, providing a diversified balance of a purposeful and enjoyable time of recreation, crafting, exercise and others to reach all of our residents. I must say, it's been a challenge. This past October I began researching options online and came across your site, subscribing for a year to see what you were all about. Let me tell you, you have not disappointed! Your site is a priceless resource that we are extremely thankful for. We find a significant increase in resident participation and look forward to the new ideas that each month brings. Our residents love the changes!
