Put fun into fundraising

The other day, I was scouring the Internet looking for more fundraising ideas to share with you. In the process, I came upon lots of articles about care homes in the UK that raise money on Red Nose Day. Held every two years, this popular event provides money to support a variety of charitable causes in the UK and other parts of the world.

Most of these care homes host traditional fundraising events like bake sales, walks/runs, and raffles. But what struck me was how much fun they create in the process.

However, I believe we all need to work together and share our ideas. This allows us to provide the highest quality of life for nursing home residents everywhere. That’s why I’m always thrilled when you tell me about unique programs at your facilities.

Father's Day gift ideas

Are you looking for a Father’s Day gift for your dad or grandpa who lives in a long-term care facility? My parents lived in a nursing home at one time and so did my grandpa.
