Lisa Hinrickson: ‘It is a new way of life for them’

Lisa Hinrickson, activity director at the Good Samaritan Society Nursing Home in Holstein, has done this type of work since she was twenty. She is now 54 years old and never realized when she started it would be a life-long career. There is a large span of age groups that live there, so Hinrickson has to find activities that they all will enjoy. There is a large group of 50-year-olds that Hinrickson likes talking to them about the 80’s. The biggest thing is Bingo, but they also do manicures, air hockey, balloon bowling and working in the garden. They like to play Hangman with Hinrickson.
