Holidays at nursing homes

Thanks to RSS I found a new article with really useful holiday tips for families: http://www.mybetternursinghome.com/three-tips-for-families-for-the-holidays-from-dr-el-video/  It is a short but informative video that can help families who have someone in nursing homes to arrange holidays with them. In addition, it reminded me that Christmas is coming and gave me an idea to visit one of the local nursing homes to celebrate this wonderful holiday with these people.

I visited Laurel Court Senior Living facility in Alvin, TX on Saturday Dec 7th and spent a few amazing hours with the old people. I was with a group of teenagers, so we sang Christmas songs to the elderly, gave them candies and small Christmas gifts and just talked about everything. These people are so wise and experienced! I learned a lot from them about their life paths and choices, and I hope they were happy to share this with me.

I am really excited that I met such a wonderful people! I did the first step on my way in nursing homes' campaign. It helped me to understand better what I am going to do and why. Now I am full of energy and ideas for the next actions!

Christmas is a perfect time to visit your relatives in the nursing home and give them a little bit of happiness. Even if you do not know anyone there, just come and meet new people. You will not regret that you did it, I promise!
