Create a Sweet Valentine's Day If you haven't planned your facility's Valentine's Day party yet, don't worry. We've got plenty of ideas to help you make the holiday memorable for your residents! Craft your own Valentines Thanks to pre-cut paper shapes, it’s easier than ever to make homemade Valentines. Visit your local craft supply store to stock up on multicolored paper hearts, Cupids and lace doilies. Provide your residents with non-toxic glue sticks to attach the shapes to each other. You could also give them large, flat-backed rhinestones to "bedazzle" their creations. Make better-for-you goodies There's no need for residents with diabetes to completely avoid sweet treats on Valentine's Day. The American Diabetes Association has whipped up recipes for healthier takes on desserts, including Low-Fat Crème Brulee, Peppermint Mousse and Individual S'more Desserts. Share hot cocoa and memories Encourage your residents to gather together in a common room for cocoa and reminiscing about Valentine's Day. You can get the ball rolling by asking questions. For example, do they prefer to receive chocolates or flowers? Did they ever have a secret admirer? What is their fondest Valentine's Day memory? You might be surprised by what you learn! We wish you and your residents a happy Valentine's Day!
