Valentines Day Celebration Ideas
Valentines Day Ideas!!!
With Valentines day rapidly approaching, we have put together a list of craft and celebration ideas that your residents and caregivers are sure to enjoy.
1. Decorate!
Involve your residents in decking out the home. Ask them and their families what things they would like to see around the home. Some of our favorite places to shop for affordable decorations are the local dollar store, Walmart, and of course Amazon. Add some heart shaped pillows, roses and things your residents love. They will definitely appreciate the extra effort you put in!
Listed below are some links to Valentines day home decor on Amazon.
2. Arts and Crafts
Spend the afternoon hand making artsy cards with your residents and staff that they can give to their loved ones. A fun idea would be to make heart shaped post it notes that can be posted to each resident’s door and around the home. As the provider take this time to show how much you appreciate everyone in your home, by writing thank you and appreciation notes to everyone. Your local office supply store or Amazon will have all of the supplies you need for these activities.
3. Baking
Another fun idea would be to have the staff bake muffins, cookies or even a cake, then have the residents participate in decorating them. Play music while everyone is decorating and use this time to engage everyone in conversation. Listed below is a link to a heart shaped baking pan on amazon.com.
4. Meals
Make the regular meals special. Instead of regular pancakes you can make heart shaped pancakes and top them off with strawberries. For lunch, a heart shaped grilled cheese and a side of tomato soup is another idea! Don’t forget the treats! Walmart always has the best treats and sweets for Valentines day. Just make sure to get in early before it is all gone! Always remember dietary restrictions for each resident while you are thinking of your meals.
5. Party!
