How it works
Introducing

A rewarding experience for every resident

C1D Solutions is proud to introduce our Assisted Living and Long-Term Care Facility Program, a unique resident engagement initiative designed to combine outdoor activity, personal purpose, social interaction, and plant stewardship into one rewarding experience.

The program allows facilities to offer residents the opportunity to participate in the care and treatment of trees, shrubs, flowers, and landscape plants using C1D Solutions food-grade and organic plant health products.

Healthy plants create beautiful environments, and caring for living things creates purpose and fulfillment.

How the program works

Three simple steps

1

Plant Identification

Facility staff identify trees, shrubs, flowers, gardens, and landscape areas suitable for participation.

Maple Tree #1 • Rose Garden Bed #3 • Lilac Bush #2 • Community Flower Garden

2

Resident Sponsorship

Residents select one or more plants to sponsor and care for — “Mary’s Maple Tree,” “John’s Rose Garden,” or “The Smith Family Lilac.” Sponsors can also be groups or teams.

Monthly Treatment Activities

On scheduled treatment days, staff assist residents in visiting their sponsored plants. Residents help:

  • Apply C1D Tree Bark Treatment
  • Water plants when appropriate
  • Observe growth and changes
  • Record treatment dates
  • Take seasonal photos
Each plant is tagged with: Plant Name • Resident Sponsor • Treatment Date • Next Treatment Date

Therapeutic benefits

Nature that lifts the whole community

Research consistently shows interaction with nature can positively impact:

  • Mental well-being
  • Mood
  • Social engagement
  • Sense of purpose
  • Physical activity
  • Cognitive stimulation

Residents enjoy seeing the results of their efforts throughout the year as plants respond to regular care and attention.

Why C1D Solutions?

Residents become caretakers helping plants thrive

  • Food grade
  • Organic
  • Easy to apply
  • Non-hazardous
  • Designed to support overall plant health
  • Suitable for trees, shrubs, flowers, and ornamentals

Rather than focusing on pests or diseases, C1D Solutions supports plant vigor, root development, and overall health.

Example Resident Activity

A resident sponsors a mature maple tree. Each month:

  • Staff escort resident to the tree.
  • Resident observes growth and seasonal changes.
  • Resident assists with application of C1D Tree Bark Treatment.
  • Treatment date is recorded.
  • Resident receives progress photos and updates.

Over time, the resident develops a meaningful connection to the landscape and the care of the facility grounds.

Revenue opportunity for facilities

Self-supporting by design

The program is designed to be self-supporting while creating additional revenue via resident activities.

This additional revenue may help offset:

  • Staff assistance
  • Activity coordination
  • Resident transportation
  • Landscape improvements
  • Community programming
