Questions activity directors often ask
If you’re responsible for your community’s activities calendar, you need programs that are reliable, inclusive, and easy to run. Here are answers to the most common questions we receive from retirement homes across the U.S.
What technology do we need to run the virtual tour?
Most communities already have everything they need: a laptop or desktop computer with internet access, a TV or projector with HDMI input, and basic speakers. We provide a simple step-by-step guide and can run a quick tech-check with your staff before the first session.
Is the Footsteps of St. Patrick tour religious?
The tour explores the story of St. Patrick, Irish culture, and historical sites with a gentle, respectful approach. For faith-based communities, we can lean more into the spiritual dimension. For mixed or non-religious groups, we focus more on history, scenery, and culture while still acknowledging the heritage of the sites.
Will residents with memory loss be able to enjoy it?
Yes. We regularly adapt sessions for memory care units. The pacing is calm, visuals are clear and engaging, and our hosts are trained to repeat key points and invite simple, low-pressure participation. Many communities tell us it sparks positive memories and conversation afterward.
How far in advance do we need to book?
We recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks in advance to secure your ideal time slot, especially for recurring monthly series. That said, we’ll always do our best to accommodate last-minute openings on your calendar.
