2017-02-28 07:10:31 PM mbear I had a great moment today with one of my residents with alzheimers. He came and played bingo (he never does) and he loved it so much. I helped him out and we seemed to bond. He says he is coming back tomorrow to play again. I haven't really seen him that engaged in something since I started. It was really kinda emotional for me
2017-02-28 07:10:34 PM mzonneville Hot biscuit with honey with the Irish coffee they would love it, we got irish syrup for coffee, brown sugar and whipped cream on top gooood stuff

2017-02-28 07:10:43 PM mgarnica yeah they like bean bag toss....aka, corn hole

2017-02-28 07:11:34 PM kathyhughes Sometimes Marcia we need to step back and look at what the residents want to do and we can do that by starting with Bingo and go from there
2017-02-28 07:11:47 PM taras Corn Hole is awesome!!!!
2017-02-28 07:11:48 PM teyonahills how did you make the ice cream Abby??

2017-02-28 07:11:52 PM mgarnica we are only allowed to do bingo a certain number of times a week
2017-02-28 07:11:58 PM chelseytimreck do any of you have any ideasfor nursing home week this year? what is your take on it
2017-02-28 07:12:01 PM erikalmascia I had a resident that wouldn't come to activities or no anything at all. All she wanted to do was to eat. We found out that she really like Polka music, so when we played Polka for her, she would do a lot more. This probably isn't the solution for you, but if you find something she does enjoy, it could help.
2017-02-28 07:12:03 PM janicelawrence6 we convinced our maintanecne man to make a toliet ring toss. You throw toliet paper rolls. Its is so funny.
2017-02-28 07:12:05 PM catiah That's is my case Kathy
2017-02-28 07:12:08 PM kathyhughes There are facilities that need some creativity
