Hey, we all need a little help getting out of our activity ruts. That’s why I started this page to help others generate ideas and (hopefully) be inspired by things I’ve tried and seen work well in some facilities.
You won’t find what I call ‘cookie-cutter’ activities here. I won’t tell you that next month is “Chocolate Pudding Lovers Month” and have all sorts of related games and activity ideas ready for you to hand out to your staff. I really believe that each facility is different because each facility’s residents or members are unique. Why should hundreds of nursing homes across the country all have the same theme month? I think we can easily sell our clients way short.
The activities I share are ones that I’ve found to be meaningful, give purpose, and are personal. They may not always be the best activities for your residents. My hope is to help get us thinking creatively as a profession.
