What special events do you have planned for March that you would like to share with other activity directors here?

Pay attention Activity Directors! You are MIGHTY! My thoughts on approaching our peeps who are need our help.

Yep, All the entertainers and vendors calling! Here are some coping skills to help you.

Creating a space where residents feel safe is one of the most meaningful parts of being an Activity Director. A safe space is not just about the room or the activity on the schedule, but about the feeling residents have when they walk in. It is a place where they sense they are welcome, accepted, and not under pressure to perform or do things the “right” way. When residents feel this kind of safety, they are more likely to relax, stay present, and trust the moment. Safety grows through consistency, patience, and the way we show up for people. Residents notice when they are given time, when their choices are respected, and when they are allowed to engage at their own pace. In these moments, activities become more than something to pass the time. They become opportunities for comfort, connection, and dignity. Creating this kind of environment reminds residents that they matter just as they are, and it reminds us why this work carries such deep meaning.

Activity Directors! Have you heard this? I have. This is my graceful way to handle it.
