Benefits of using the site: (What will the site do for you?)

Saves you MONEY $$!
The cost of membership (as low as 40 cents a day) will pay for itself many times over. Products and resources you now have to purchase can be printed or downloaded from the site at no cost to you. For example:

• Bingo Cards
• Games
• Puzzles
• Music
• Drama Skits
• Daily Newspapers
• Cards and Banners
• Signs
• And much, much more!

Saves you TIME!
We can help you save valuable time by providing easy, quick and complete ideas. You will have more time to do what you enjoy the most, spending more time with your residents and clients. We do the legwork and preparation. For example:

• Researching discussions
• Typing up puzzles
• Finding photos
• Writing "scripts" for activities
• Making patterns
• And etc.!

Saves on STAFF!
Our site allows you to do more with less because everything is complete and ready-to-go. The detailed, scripted activities can be presented by volunteers and care staff.

Because the ideas are so complete, with "things to talk about" and other tidbits to share, the person facilitating the activity will feel good about the job they are doing and are more likely to "volunteer" again. (Associates and volunteers will want to continue to provide activities if they are successful and feel good about what they are doing.)

In addition:

• Allows for cross-training of all associates and volunteers to be able to provide quality activities for the residents/clients.
• Keeps your program fresh.
• Great for last-minute activities.
• Other departments can use the site for marketing and marketing events, one-to-one activities, menu ideas, etc.
• Helps to improve resident, associate and volunteer participation by making activities fun to do and easy to implement.
• Helps the Activities Director to be successful and achieve customer satisfaction by providing valuable resources and support.

One subscriber summed it up by writing,
"It's like having a full-time activity assistant for
$11.95 a month."
