At our RMS family of companies, we are always looking for meaningful ways to bring joy, connection and new experiences to the individuals we support. To celebrate the arrival of Spring, we arranged to have the Easter Bunny make a visit.
We encourage inclusive activities in the local community. With this in mind, at some of the RMS locations in the Cincinnati and Lima regions, the Easter Bunny made cheerful visits to our adult day support programs. Our company has locations across the state of Ohio, but here is a quick highlight about one of our Spring activities.
The reactions were heartwarming: smiles and laughter that reminded us all how powerful simple acts of kindness can be for everyone.
While the Easter Bunny is often tied to springtime traditions, our focus is not on the holiday itself or its religious roots. Instead, we use these visits as opportunities to create inclusive, uplifting moments for our individuals. The goal is to foster emotional well-being and connection, something every person wants and deserves.
What are the benefits of these activities:
- Promotes Joy:
These activities promote a sense of joy and laughter. A friendly person in a bunny suit can instantly brighten up a room. This lighthearted fun has lasting emotional benefits and helps lift spirits.
- Social Interaction:
It encourages social interaction whether it’s waving, giving high-fives, taking photos or just telling stories afterward, the Easter Bunny inspires communication and connection among individuals and staff.
- Self-expression:
It helps individuals express themselves. Every individual engages with the world in their own way. Some people interact closely with the events that are unfolding around them, while others enjoy the moment from a comfortable distance. A visit from the Easter Bunny offers a safe and playful chance to explore and express personal emotions.
- Confidence Boosting:
These activities build confidence and reduce isolation. Positive social experiences can help individuals feel more connected and less alone. This reinforces a sense of belonging.
- Creates Positive Memories:
A personal visit from the Easter Bunny creates lasting memories. Something as simple as a bunny costume can become a meaningful highlight—something to smile about for days or even weeks.
At RMS, we believe that care includes more than just support services. It should include creating spaces for celebration, inclusion and joy. To some people, a visit from the Easter Bunny might seem like a small gesture. But for the people we support, this sends a critical message: You are seen. You are valued. You are worth celebrating!
Sometimes this message is delivered with floppy ears and a basket full of smiles.
