Residents’ “Inked and Boozed” Event
On March 29, the Recreation Department at Slate Valley Center in Granville had an activity that sparked the entire resident community at the 88-bed skilled nursing facility. It was called “Ink and Drinks,” whereby the residents enjoyed their most favorite non-alcoholic drinks such as Pina Coladas, Strawberry Daiquiris, and Miami Vices (Virgin). At the same time, residents picked out their favorite tattoos from a whiteboard and decided where they would apply them—to their arms or shoulders. “This was something very different and turned out to be a really fun activity,” said Activity Director Andrea Kelley. “So many folks got to enjoy the look of a tattoo without the pain or commitment; what’s better than that?” Afterward, everyone had fun showing each other what they got.
