Every Monday morning we have a staff and residents meeting. We problem-solve and reflect on the past week and discuss plans for the coming week. The big highlight is acknowledging residents. We like to encourage positive behavior by calling people forward and giving them applause and once a month we also hand out some chips or sweets to a number of deserving residents.
Our theme for 2023 is SAMEWERKING and we encourage cooperation, rather than competition. Residents are encouraged and volunteer to help out in our Kitchen, with Table-setting, Laundry Duty, Garden duty, Sweeping and Cleaning duty etc. The housemothers also get to nominate residents who they want to acknowledge for the progress they have seen in them.
We take photos every three months and put them up on our walls for all to see! These photos are our February awards.
