With close to 100 residents in attendance, EngAGE introduced themselves to this new CCH property in Santa Ana, CA. A full meal was followed by live DJ and a handful of dancers, then surveys of interest were shared and discussed. Because most residents don’t speak English, EngAGE staff came up with an effective way to find out their interests: a survey in pictures! Residents were shown photos of activities such as yoga, working with computers, cooking, making art, and much more, so they could choose the ones that were appealing to them. The results were then tallied so that programming could be tailored to the preferences of the residents. Very clever and fun for all!
Thanks to EngAGE PD Meloney Morse and EngAGE RAD Amie Mack for a great event. And thank you big time to CCH staff Abigail and Arun for your help and support!
