Trivia Night fundraiser

Last month, I posted an article about successful fundraisers hosted by several healthcare facilities. A couple of my readers wanted to know more about the Trivia Night fundraiser. (Also known as Quiz Night).

I love the idea of Trivia Night events because they’re so much fun. Plus, they go a long way in funding special programs and activities for your residents.

Today I’ll share my experiences with you. If you have other suggestions, I would love to see you post them in the comment section.

Rosie the Riveter

One of my readers recently asked if I have any fresh ideas for celebrating Veterans Day. I directed her to a post I wrote several months ago about how to honor veterans at our nursing homes.

In addition, over the past several days, I’ve been trying to brainstorm other unique activities. And I think I came up with a good idea. I hope you’ll use Veterans Day as an opportunity to honor Rosie the Riveters.

This topic is dear to my heart because my mom was a Rosie. Mom passed away many years ago, and I wish I had asked her more questions about this unique experience in her life.

funny nursing home stories

Recently, I asked my newsletter subscribers to suggest topics to feature on my blog. One reader requested that I share more personal stories—especially funny nursing home stories.

I love that idea! But here’s the thing. I remember a lot of laughter during my many years of working or volunteering at nursing homes. Yet, I can’t recall a lot of specific stories. In hindsight, I really wish I had written them down.

So, here’s where I need your help. Today I’ll share one funny story. But then I would love it if you would also share your humorous stories with my readers.
