2017-02-07 07:45:52 PM desiep3805 We will be having a mardi gras celebration as well, but currently we are celebrating black history month by joining residents, staff, and family members in a cereal box famous african american character exhibit. They have to construct an actor/actress/entrepreneur, etc by using a cereal box covered in brown paper as a base. Sort of like a pinata.
2017-02-07 07:45:53 PM chaplaindeb I have wonderful assistants who spend almost all their time on the floor.
2017-02-07 07:45:53 PM denisewiit it doesnt look like we have a lot to do, but we really do

2017-02-07 07:49:20 PM arliek7 I can honestly say, if I am not able to conduct the activities, I will make sure I stop and talk to my residents atleast to and from my office! I can not stand to getting to do all the activities with them! I started as the assistant, who did all the activities prior to the promotion, and I can say it is hard to get used to and honestly I dont want that to become my routine

2017-02-07 07:55:28 PM debra i bring my dog in and they all love it. she's 15 1/2 so she's real laid back.
2017-02-07 07:55:28 PM siadufour I am so jealous of facilities that have a daycare connected to them. I think that would be a great program to have . the residents would love getting to see kids every day. we rarely have visitors younger than 20

2017-02-07 07:55:31 PM kathyhughes You will all do fine
