Josephine Daily Activities
The Programs Activity staff assists the residents with a wide variety of daily activities. These activities are designed to meet their social as well as physical needs. There is an activity staff member assigned to each unit. The staff member invites the resident to join in activities which are of special interest to the resident.
Each day of the week, there are different activities. Some of the activities are held in the Multi-Purpose room, while other activities are performed "on unit" in the Josephine units. Often the activities are of a one-on-one nature between the resident and the activity staff.
In addition, the Adult Day Center is used for activities such as Sunday "breakfasts". The residents from their "neighborhood unit" gather in an intimate manner to cook and share a weekend meal, assisted by the activity staff.

Josephine Staff assisted by volunteers perform foot massages weekly |
The list of activities range from foot massages, hand care, bingo, hymns & devotions, religious services, bowling, balloon volleyball, ceramics, movies, neighborhood breakfasts, and the 3:00pm Social Hour.
Each day the staff assists the residents in attending the 3:00pm Social Hour. This is a time for light refreshments and social interaction. Very often there are volunteers who provide musical entertainment as well.
The daily activities are published in the Daily Activity schedule. Each resident has a copy of the schedule, and a wall size schedule hangs in each unit near the nurse's station.
In addition, there is a monthly calendar of planned activities for each month. These monthly activities are in addition to the daily activities. See the Monthly Activity Calendar.
