2017-02-07 07:41:47 PM shubbard720 We do a Bowling for Bingo Bucks activity too--for every strike the residents get they get 2 bingo bucks, for every spare they get 1! Makes exercise more fun!!!
2017-02-07 07:41:55 PM buffyb1 I have tried different things for prizes at Bingo. But it always goes back to them wanting the money instead.
2017-02-07 07:41:56 PM arliek7 I try to be as hands on as possible, however, the paperwork and planning puts a damper in that. I would prefer to be with my residents 100% of the time if I could!
