Residents' Rights Month Activity Suggestions

Throughout the pandemic, residents of long-term care facilities were disconnected from the resident and staff communities within their facilities when activities and group dining were limited. The activities below promote community between residents (and staff) within the facility and with the outside local community.

The 2022 edition of our enrichment booklets for long-term care residents serves to keep residents entertained and active. This edition includes activities to encourage residents to communicate with each other, with staff, and with visitors in order to broaden their community within and outside of their home.

Included in the activities are puzzles, prompts for conversation or writing, trivia to challenge yourself or others, an icebreaker activity, and art pages for relaxing.

Hard copies are available for purchase in the Consumer Voice store.
