2017-02-07 07:06:26 PM siadufour We are having two valentine's day parties. one for memory care and one for AL/SNF. Our kitchen is catering and we are going to have mini quiche, reuben balls, and sugar cookies that our residents are going to decorate that morning. I don't know if we are doing anything for staff appreciation day. Our facility seems to celebrate each department seperately
2017-02-07 07:06:26 PM chelseytimreck they are doing away with our stuffed animals too and we are trying to stay away from too many sweets

2017-02-07 07:09:59 PM denisewiit any suggestions for room visits. I think ive used everything i could think of
2017-02-07 07:10:03 PM michaelthorsonad I must say being an activity director for some time now if you reach out to other employees at your facility you will be suprized how much help they will provide, offten times they move onto other positions and still love the ad position and would love to help you so please ask around you may find their are more activity directors in your facility than you think
2017-02-07 07:10:08 PM wendy5 my goal this month is to not spend my own money--failed on the 5th...back on track
