\"FallSo how are you celebrating the end of Daylight Saving Time with your residents this fall? With a Fall Back Time Change Party, of course! Here\u2019s what you need to plan the perfect Fall Back party for your senior residents this autumn:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Autumn Activities<\/strong>: Pass out pumpkin punch balls<\/a><\/strong> and encourage residents to get their arm exercise as they punch the pumpkins back and forth. In fact, host a contest to see which resident can punch their pumpkin the longest without their hands getting tired.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Autumn Pies<\/strong>: Coordinate with your dining services staff to supply a variety of tasty autumn pies, like apple, pumpkin, and sweet potato pies for residents to taste. If providing whole pies is not an option, organize a different sensory stimulation activity by blindfolding residents and giving each a spoonful of a pie filling (cherry, apple, pumpkin) to identify by taste.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Autumn Balloons<\/strong>: Use red, yellow, and orange balloons<\/strong><\/a> to make your facility more festive for the season. Inflate the balloons with helium and add anchors so that they float in the air along the perimeters of your hallways and common areas.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Autumn Drinks<\/strong>: Put on your best bartender attire to serve non-alcoholic autumn drinks to residents, like alcohol-free hot toddies and hot cider.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Autumn Clocks<\/strong>: Don\u2019t forget to recruit residents to help you change the clocks in your facility. Gather all the wall clocks in your Activity Room, and have residents help you set the correct time. Try hanging up these Oversized 20″ Aluminum Wall Clocks<\/a><\/strong> that are easy for everyone to clearly see!<\/p>\n

6. Favorite Things<\/strong>: Scatter cards from this Autumn Photos Activity Cards Set<\/a><\/strong> onto your activity tables to help residents focuses on the following festive topics: Harvest, Back to School, Fall Colors, and Preserving. The Favorite Things series was created to provide comfort and inspire connections and conversations through reminiscence. Check out the full product offering here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
