nursing home stories

Do you know what I believe is the best way to enhance the quality of life for our nursing home residents? I think it happens when we’re willing to share our creativity and innovation with other facilities, rather than keeping it to ourselves.

That’s why I’m inviting you to let me know about the positive things that are going on at your facility—whether it’s a nursing home, assisted living facility, CCRC, or another organization that serves our elders.

Now here’s the fun part. My blog readers live in many different countries. This means that when you share your ideas and your stories on this blog, you can enrich the lives of residents living here and also on the other side of the world. How cool is that!

I hope you’ll consider sharing your experiences in one of the following areas:

Award-Winning Programs

Each month I enjoy highlighting long-term care facilities that have won a variety of awards. Here are a few examples of these award-winning facilities.

This has become one of my favorite articles to write. That’s because I’m always in awe of the unique programs you create to enrich the lives of your residents.

Has your facility ever won an award? Please let me know so I can share the details with my readers.

Fundraising Ideas

I hear this concern so often. Nursing home volunteers and staff come up with terrific ideas for activities and programs to benefit their residents. Yet they struggle to find enough money in their budgets to carry out their plans.

That’s why over the past year I’ve featured more than 30 successful fundraising ideas from real healthcare facilities. Here’s an example of just four of these fundraisers.

I know there are lots of other terrific ideas out there, too. So, if your facility has a fundraising program that hasn’t yet been featured on my blog, will you let me know about it? I would love to help out my readers by sharing another 30 ideas before the end of this year!

Caregiver Interviews

At the end of last year, I posted a survey to help me discover what topics would be most helpful for my readers in 2019. There was quite a lot of interest in caregiver interviews, so I’ve added that feature to my blog. (You can read an interview in this post.)

Do you know someone who feels passionate about their role in long-term care and has an interesting story to tell? Please encourage them to contact me. I would love to consider them for a future interview.

Guest Posts

I know many of you enjoy writing, and some of my readers have blogs of their own. Will you consider sharing your talent by writing a guest article for my blog?

You can read an example right here. I’m so appreciative of guest writers because they often have knowledge about topics that are outside of my own expertise.

 

After reading about these options, are you excited to share something positive that’s going on at your long-term care facility? Then here’s what I would love to have you do next.

Simply leave a message in the comment section, and I’ll be happy to get in touch with you. Otherwise, feel free to send me an email: NursingHomeVolunteer@gmail.com

Thank you so much!
