Visiting and Attending Activities in Other Households
For some people, visiting or partaking in the “happenings” of neighboring households contributes to vibrancy. Sharing activity calendars and letting householders know
what is happening throughout the community shakes things up a little. Some residents independently visit their neighbors. What can be done to support more of it? Staff members usually know which householders love which kind of activity, so be generous with reminders and invitations to those certain residents regarding events they might enjoy. And be sure to help them get there if they want to go!
Reasons to Go Visiting
Go sing Christmas carols, have a parade with decorated wheelchairs and walkers, deliver gifts or food, be goofy, show off something fun. Go wish someone happy birthday. Go for no reason at all.
