Have residents with their own nail polish? Maybe one of your residents would be delighted to receive a bottle of nail polish as a gift!

A great way to spend an hour with a resident, most likely a woman but who's judging these days, is to treat your resident to a beatifying manicure :)

Things to include to create the perfect manicure experience are:

1. Low light and a candle.
2. Soaking their hands in warm water for a couple of minutes. You could even add an essential oil in the water, like lavender or rose, to brighten up the experience!
3. If desired, rub hand calluses with a pumice stone, nail file, emery board or washcloth to help remove a layer of toughened skin during or after soaking.
4. Apply the wanted nail polish products for your resident!

Treating your resident can be as simple as that! During times when residents are isolating for considerable periods, this activity could easily make someone's day.
