I enjoyed visiting the link and watching the videos. At our facility the staff are allowed to pick a resident to be a secret Santa to. Some employees pick more then one. No one is ever left out. We also buy stocking stuffers for the residents. Local churches have children make Christmas cards for each resident. An eagles club brings in homemade cookies. Last year we had our first Christmas open house for families and residents. We had different stations for decorating cookies, watching Christmas movies, taken family photos and decorating a photo frame, and a snack buffet with a homemade hot chocolate bar with several toppings. It was a huge success, can't wait to do it again this year.

Hello everyone, My name is Richelle and I live in Michigan. I work at a Medical Care Facility with 70 residents. We provide long term care, rehab, dementia household, and adult day care. I have worked there for 29 years starting out as an aide in Dietary, then supervisor, and getting my Dietary Managers certification. 6 years ago I was offered a position as household coordinator of two of our household and overseeing activities. I am now pursuing a certification as a activity director. I am going to complete MEPAP 1 own pace at the end of this week.
