Does Your Community Have A Holiday Game Face?

It is important that your community celebrate the holidays in style. Take a look at decorations and make sure they reflect the image of your community.

We often see holiday decorations that would be appropriate for an elementary school but are not suitable for a senior living community. From activity bulletin boards to the reception desk, it's important to carefully access what first impression you are making.

Sometimes less is more if budget is a concern. Be sure that everyone understand how they may
decorate at home may be wonderful but not fitting of the community. You don't want staff's hurt feelings when their ceramic Santa is removed from the hostess station.

Holidays are a time when communities are on display as families and friends visit. It is also important to make sure holidays recognize both Christians and Jewish people.

If you go all out in your community, this is a wonderful time for holiday open house tours.

We have a community as a client that has a resident who traditionally sets up their electric trains. He's the conductor and everyone really enjoys this celebration. It's become a community tradition.

Celebrate with style and take advantage of this marketing opportunity with prior visitors to invite them for eggnog and cookies one afternoon.
