Now that COVID restrictions are lifting, many of our residents look forward to getting back out into the world and enjoying new activities. They might even feel stagnant after spending so much time alone and indoors.

Today we’ll look at an opportunity for our residents to get out and exercise their brains by taking free on-campus college classes. While you might think none of your nursing home residents could do this, it’s often possible with a bit of ingenuity. And you’ll find many residents of independent living or assisted living facilities who are very capable of attending and completing courses. You might even decide to join them!

Over the past month, I’ve received several pamphlets in the mail from companies offering continuing education workshops. While many of the courses look impressive, it stunned me to see their prices.

Today I’m passing along a variety of printables I believe will be helpful as you serve your residents at the nursing home. In the past, I’ve primarily made these resources available to my newsletter subscribers. But now I’m opening them up to all of my readers.

I enjoy printables because they offer at-a-glance guides when you’re looking for fresh ideas or need help with problem-solving. You’ll find that these guides are helpful for nursing home staff, in-home caregivers, and volunteers.

These printables cover a wide range of interests, so there should be something for nearly everyone. Feel free to print as many as you wish.
