The Greeter's Role and Space Allocation for Activities Here at THD

WITH A LOT OF NEW RESIDENTS MOVING IN THE NEXT 2 MONTHS, it is imperative that they should be welcome and made feel right at home with the help of the THD Greeter's Program. 

I believe that the Greeter's most important duty is to inform the new resident to complete the Vital of Life Packet that will include the resident health information and will help the 911 providers in case of emergency. This Packet should be included in the New Resident Brochure. It should be posted in the Refrigerator of each apartment for easy accessibility in case of a 911 emergency. 

 The general  role of the Greeter is as follows:

• 
  Greeters’ role is to simply help the new resident adjust to their new life at THD. Be a point of contact for them should they need help with dining, transportation, activities, or navigating the THD property. 
• Invite them to a lunch/dinner.
• Invite them to THD social events or excursions.
• Introduce them to other residents and hopefully new friendships develop organically.

 

Overall, the role of the greeter is just being friendly, welcoming, and supportive!

I have been a Greeter twice during the last 4 months. I enjoyed this activity very much. I was the Greeter of Jay Pollack and John and Carol Larimore. If you want to know If I was an excellent Greeter feel free to ask Jay, John or Carol. 

Meanwhile allow me to mention again my earlier postings in how each person/resident here at THD could contribute to the sense of community and belonging in our community.

Meanwhile, I heard thru the grape vine ( there is no official announcement or e-mail), that the Fireside Lounge will be converted into an ACTIVITY ROOM. If this is true, this is one of the best furniture rearrangement and space allocation that THD management has done this past year.  THD need a space for Activities like Wine Tasting, Arts and Crafts and other activities that are well attended.

To me Activity is one of the most important factor in enhancing the well-being of its Senior Citizens by promoting sense of community and belonging here at THD. My Kudos and Congratulations, to the Person (s) who initiated on this Room Conversion Rearrangement and Space Allocation here at THD.

I also heard that an interior decorator has been hired to update the old antiquated look of the Churchill's Pub. This is also a much welcome change. Keep up with Good Work THD Management and Activities Personnels.      

Lastly, The other day, I had the chilled cucumber soup that I enjoyed very much. Kudos to Agustin and his Kitchen Crew. 

Newton's Dining Area is almost filled to Capacity During Dinner Time at 5PM. Is there room for Expansion?
