Host fun evening events for your residents like Family Game Night (May 8), in which residents play fun games like Checkers, Scrabble, and Dominoes; Cannes Film Festival Night (May 17), in which residents watch a fun recently released movie; Senior Prom (May 28), in which residents get into the Prom season by dressing up for a fun dance; and Official State Dinner (May 31), in which residents attend a tasty dinner that comprises food from your state.
In addition, consider inviting vendors and speakers to come to your facility during May. For instance, invite an eye doctor to give eye tests to your residents during this Healthy Vision Month (Eye Exam on May 14), invite a speaker to speak about osteoporosis during this National Osteoporosis Prevention Month (Speaker Series on May 29), or ask your facility's nurse to talk to your residents during National Nurses Week (Nurse's Notes on May 9).
As summertime arrives, be sure to add plenty of activities to keep your residents hydrated. For instance, host fun afternoon socials like a Popsicle Social on June 21, a Watermelon Social on June 26, or an Italian Ice Truck Social on June 24.
Additionally, coordinate fun summertime crafts for residents throughout June, like Crafts: Sun Mosaics (June 2), making mosaics of the sun, Crafts: Sandy Fish (June 9), using beach sand, or Crafts: Daisy Chain Necklaces (June 30), stringing daisies to make pretty summer necklaces.
