I'd love to share a highlight from our evening activity. Tonight, I recreated one of my favorite childhood treats, toasted ritz crackers with peanut butter and Marshmallows . As I prepared the treats, I asked the residents how many had enjoyed them as a child. A few of the residents had, but none of the staff had. Some of the residents had made them for their own children. The conversation that followed was heartwarming, with residents and staff alike sharing their favorite childhood treats, and one conversation led to another, and then they were discussing their favorite toys as a child. After the treats were handed out, one resident had eaten three of the treats and motioned for the nurse to come over; the resident, very serious, said, "I think I need more." And more is what she got. It was a wonderful evening of reminiscing. These treats may have been messy, but they were absolutely delicious. 😊 Activity staff passed the treats out in the hallway and from room to room so all the residents and staff could enjoy them.
We would like to hear from you: share with us one of your favorite childhood treats.
A few pictures of the activity.
