Outcomes

The program was started by a CNA. She saw Sunday afternoons as a perfect opportunity to host a formal cocktail party using the principles of EDGE and BASICS. She took the concepts of the Tea Group and developed a weekly program for residents. Within one month resident's family members requested to join and were subsequently invited. The program has been ongoing for over a year. There are three original residents still able to participate and between three and four new members have participated since.
