Hello I have recently been hired as the Activity Director for a small long term care center in Billings Montana. The Director of Nursing want me to reinstate a program that is called Life Enrichment program which is supposed to get involvement of the community, getting volunteers to lead group discussions, make the residents dreams or wishes come true for example in the past a lady got to spend a day at the bank where she used to work and the staff came and talked a little about what happens at a bank during the day to the rest of the residents, another individual to a group of people fishing on the Yellowstone river. Our facility hasn't had an activities department for sometime now and am curious how to get the community to want to help our great facility again. thank you in advance for all of your generous help and ideas.

I am overwhelmed with the activities on this site, truly amazing. This website has been tremendously amazing and helpful for all my residents on the dementia unit. I have worked in the field of dementia and Alzheimer’s in a long term care home for 30 years. This website is a blessing from above. You are all amazing for the future of care givers and residents.
