Remember September is Fall Hat Month. It is a great time to have a Red Hatters Meeting and/or show off the ladies red hats. Another idea is to invite members of a local chapter to visit residents at your facility
that's is a wonderful idea, Thanks for sharing, I guess we can try in our facility. Regards

I formed a Group at the Nursing home and one of the resident's wives made me some hair comb fascinators and some other fascinators using cardboard and tulle.
The ladies all had names and we asked families to get them some purple tops.
Went well for a few years, unfortunately we have to begin again as the original members have mostly passed on.
I even joined the Red Hat Society in USA and got heaps of information from them...next time I join I can wear purple as I've passed 50!!!
Golden Carers is a wonderful resource. I really like the idea that more of it is going to be in video format as this grabs my participant's attention! Even after 20 years in the activity director role, the ideas in Golden Carers are often refreshingly innovative and really useful, even on the fly. Your help is invaluable! Many thanks!
