Creating Joy and Festivity – For Isolated People – During the Holidays
Hosted by LeadingAge Kansas

Course Description:
Explore inspiring, simple ideas to create joy. Although focused on the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s holidays, a Creating Joy framework is offered for year-round. Following CMS Tag F679, we’ll focus on each individual’s interests before groups and meaningful engagement before busywork or being occupied. Also, out of this regulation, we will highlight community connection and connectedness, one of the Eden Alternative domains of wellbeing included at CMS Tag 679.

Objectives:

  • Participants will be able to name the requirement to actually focus on individuals’ interests before groups at Tag 679.
  • Participants will be able to list the requirements at Tag 679 for community connection, preferences, choices, interests and the seven domains of wellbeing including connectedness as identified by the Eden Alternative.
  • Participants will be able to describe a framework for creating joy on an individual basis in order to combat loneliness, isolation and boredom.
