Activities

Our facility provides and encourages our residents to actively participate in activity functions such as games, music, religious services as desired, and entertainment. This encourages socialization and a sense of community for our residents.

The Activities department provides an abundance of activities of all types to appeal to the varied interests of our residents. These include BINGO, gardening, music and many planned outings away from the facility for residents to interact in the community.

Madison-Mayodan Annual Christmas Parade

Our 2014 float theme was ‘Candy Land’, inspired by our Activity Director, Tricia Bullins. Preparing the float was a facility effort including activities, dietary, admissions, and administrative departments. As an activity, our residents made the candy pieces used to decorate the float. We had two residents express interest in riding in the parade, so they followed the float in our handicapped van.

Employees and volunteers who helped prepare the float also participated in the parade by riding or walking alongside.

Employee’s children were encouraged to participate. They were excited to ride on the float and toss candy to the crowd watching the parade.

We had a lot of fun; everyone truly enjoyed it!
