2 2 Purpose of the Trip This trip will be a three day and two night trip to the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D.C. to see the monuments, museums, and other tourist attractions. We will be leaving on the morning of April 12 th and coming home the evening of April 14 th. There will be a state bus that I, as the leader, will drive to Washington D.C. and back. Therefore, no one will need to take themselves and we can all travel together. We are going on this trip for the enjoyment for the residents of Sunny View Assisted Living. I want to bring these couples together since there are not many couples at Sunny View. It is my hope that the residents will get to enjoy and experience the Cherry Blossom Festival while also seeing the historic monuments, museums, and buildings of our country s capital.

3 3 Demographic Information On this trip to our nation s capital, there will be five couples from the assisted living facility. Therefore, there will be an overall amount of ten participants on this trip. The participants are all of age and are all in good health for their age. They all will need to take breaks along the trip, but no one is dependent on a cane, walker, power scooter, or wheel chair. Since they are couples going on the trip, there will be five males and five females. All of the participants have been to Washington D.C. before but none of them have been in the last 15 years and many things have changed at the capital. There will be three staff people on this trip, including myself. There will be one female CTRS, one male RN, and one female CNA. Since the older adults are very independent, we do not need more staff people on the trip. The staff who are going on the trip have volunteered their time and are coming in case anything were to go wrong, we would have people there who have worked with all of the older adults before.
