Seniors Birthday Party ideasFor Entertainers and Activity personnelin Nursing Homes - Assisted Living - Independent Living Communities - Rehab facilities, at home, etc. Balloons tied to the chairs of the residents celebrating their birthday that month identify them to everyone in the room. A large lettered name tag or a birthday hat works well also. I like the banner in the room with the names.
The activity personnel have to be aware of who can have what as far as diets. An alternative goody for those who must avoid sugar is a good idea.  What I have found to be critical is that activity personnel interact with residents by encouraging hand clapping and dancing. The activity person sitting in the corner just watching the residents just in case they fall, while twiddling their thumbs out of boredom, is pretty much a useless employee. Volunteers are always a bonus. They can all work to make the party fun as long as they don't interrupt the flow being created and led by the entertainer. Humor is the best medicine. Jokes and fun interaction are important. As long as you can keep people singing and laughing and sometimes dancing as well, the party will be a success. This works well with residents who are in assisted living facilities, in dependant living facilities, who have dementia and Alzheimer's, as well as seniors who live at home. |
