Hi I'm Tracy and brand spankin new to being an Activities Director. My title is Life Enrichment Coordinator (which I think is a great title) at a 33 apartment assisted living facility. I absolutely love it. But I need some seasoned people who know some tricks of the trade to help me out so I'm glad to find you all! I'm in Ponca City, OK and have lived in several states and several cities b/c my husband is a minister. Tracy

Hi! I'm new here to this forum, and this job. I am so excited about it too! I'm in my 3rd week in this and see that getting other depts involved is going to be a huge challenge. My plan is to win them over with kindness. I got some stationery and everytime I see an aide or someone assisting a resident in this way, I'm going to praise them by note. I'm also going to see about getting some coupons to local restaurants for free ice cream, pizza, etc. to pass out to them for being a part of our department. That's my plan. I haven't begun it yet. But maybe that can give you some ideas too? Tracy
