Attention: All On-Site Associates
We've heard a lot of creative ways that our communities are keeping their residents engaged and in good spirits during this unique time. Here are a few ideas for resident retention, and be sure to check out the full list of ideas on the Resident Retention Buzz page.
-
Resident Care Packages
- Create care packages for residents that include necessities like canned goods, snacks, toilet paper. You could also throw in a deck of cards, puzzles, crossword books, etc.

Pick one or two of these items or create an entire package for your residents. Either way, pair it with a quick hand-written note to express gratitude and create a sense of community connection. A little bit goes a long way.

Laundry Room Credits
-
If your community has shared laundry facilities, offer wash credits to your residents.
