A Special Note Just For You...

Do you remember the last time you were having a bad day? Did someone do something small for you that made you feel better? Well your residents are human also and they are bound to have bad days. So what can we do to help them feel better?

What about little notes? They are simple, to the point and you can make them cute and clever. They can be sent for different holidays or just for the heck of it. They don't have to say a lot to say sooo much.

For Thanksgiving, you could send a note that says: "In the spirit of Thanksgiving we want you to know that we are grateful to you for being our resident.

You could send a note along with a small bag of the goldfish crackers and the note would read: "You're a big Fish in our Pond!

In a small ziploc snack baggie, put some type of mint (Andes Mints, Peppermint patties, mint certs, etc) with a little note that says: "You're a Mint of a resident and we're happy you're here."

Send some Starburst candies with a note that says: "You're a Star in our sky!" OR "We're bursting to tell you how wonderful you are."

Milky Ways with a card that says: "You're out of this world."

Send apple flavored Jolly Ranchers (or an actual apple) with a note that says: "You're the apple of our eye and we are so happy that you are here."

Get creative, send a tea bag with a note that says: "You're TEArrific!"

An Equal sugar packet with a card that says: "Nothing Equals how happy we are that you are here."

These are just a few simple ideas that will let your residents know they a special, and when someone feels like they are wanted, they tend to stay.
