Senior Crimestoppers ...
(Continued from page 14)
The second quality of
life program is the Time
of Your Life which
is an nostalgic video
series for residents, staff
and family members
designed to invoke
memories from the
past and aid the seniors
in remembering and
reliving the “good ole
days” with a focus on
history, music, news,
sporting events and pop
culture from the 1920’s
through 1980’s.
This entertainment program provides senior housing facilities with an enjoyable
event for residents, staff, family members and other invited guests. For example, they
get together for a movie night complete with a popcorn machine or old fashioned
concession candy, while others provide the video in an outdoor “drive-in” movie
atmosphere. The facility can also run it in their dining room, over a closed circuit TV
system or use it as creatively as they wish.
“If you ask me why should we implement the Senior Crimestoppers program, my
question to you is “why not”? I think it is imperative to have this program in every
senior living facility helping emphasize the importance of a zero tolerance crime
policy. Everyone is appreciative that we have something in place that gives peace of
mind and it’s positively reflected in our state exams,” said Hedy Ciocci, administrator
of The Self Help Home in Chicago, IL.
