Fresh Start: January Program Kit — A Done-for-You Month of Senior & Memory Care Programming

January, planned ✨

 

The Fresh Start: January Program Kit is a complete, done-for-you month of programming built for senior living and memory care: 8 seated exercise cards, 2 ready-to-run gatherings, a simple craft, a 10-song winter playlist, a staff tip sheet on beating the January blues, and a one-page quick-plan checklist that maps the whole month — four gentle weekly themes, zero scrambling.

 

The month at a glance:

Week 1 — Fresh Start · Week 2 — Winter Warmth · Week 3 — Move a Little More · Week 4 — Calm & Connected

 

WHAT'S INSIDE

- 8 seated exercise cards — the Winter Warm-Up series (Snowball Press, Melting Icicles, Penguin Waddle, Winter Scarf Waves, Toasty Toe Points, Warm Hands Rub, Snow Angel Arms, Fireside Breath & Stretch), each with one simple cue, an easier option, and a safety note

- New Year Wishes Tree — every resident adds a wish for the year to a branch display that stays up all month (Week 1 kickoff)

- My Favorite Year — a reminiscence circle with 10 printable decade prompt cards: first jobs, favorite songs, the year everything changed (Week 4)

- Winter Wishes Garland craft — one wish per card, strung into an entryway garland; cheap supplies, seated start to finish

- 10-song winter playlist — Auld Lang Syne, Let It Snow, Winter Wonderland, Ella, Sinatra, and more, each with a note on when to play it

- Staff tip sheet — beating the January blues: light and routine, hydration in dry heated air, gentle small-win goals, and post-holiday dip watch-outs

- One-page January quick-plan checklist — the whole month, week by week
