Three months ago, we started a Resident Ambassador program. The idea was to have a group of helpful residents to welcome new residents and to be available to their neighbors for any help they may need. This team has surpassed anything I thought it could be. Watching them offer to walk someone back to their room. We had one ride an elevator when she usually takes the steps, just to show a new friend the route she would usually take. Last month they come up with an idea to throw a party to encourage engagement with someone new. And we did. Today we had a game day, blackjack, balloon pop, bean bag toss, spin art, air hockey. All stations were ran by ambassadors. New friends were made; goal was achieved. Special Shout Out to Lisa from Ascend Hospice, her help and vibes are always unmatched.
