I know this is a little early but this is my first time being an Activity Director during National Nursing Home Week and I wanted to know what you guys have done or are thinking about doing during this time. I feel like some places make a huge deal out of it and some don't really make a big deal at all! Any comments are welcome!

I love the idea of getting all of those people involved with your residents turning 100! We have a resident turning 100 in November and I want to make a big deal about it too. I have my first Easter egg hunt that I am doing in March and I am a little nervous about it but I think it should be fun I know the residents will LOVE it!

Anything green!! We are doing rice krispie treats with green food coloring this year. Last year we were a little more on the healthy side and did cumbers, broccoli and grapes. We have played St. Patrick's Day word games together or given everyone individual trivia sheets and when everyone is done we go over the answers. I know other people have had singers and dancers come in but I haven't found anyone to do that around here yet. I'm very interested to see what you think of for your St. Patrick's Day Party!
