2017-02-28 07:41:52 PM erikalmascia We play a lot of dice games as well. We play "Piglet" with big dice that they can throw on the floor. If they get a one they loose their points and if they get a 5 their points are doubled. Whoever gets to 50 first wins. They love this game as well as the staff.
2017-02-28 07:41:59 PM taras I keep my documentation separate but easily accessible.
2017-02-28 07:42:02 PM janicelawrence6 If you are buying new dice. Look at the hobby shops hey have larger dice with bigger dots for those with low vision. It worth the extra cost.
2017-02-28 07:42:05 PM denisewiit I have my own book and change it out each month
2017-02-28 07:42:09 PM kittyf If a resident really loves some thing like fishing I put it in the notes.
2017-02-28 07:42:12 PM morganc oh okay! the previous activity director had done that so i kept doing it! good to know
2017-02-28 07:42:12 PM kathyhughes You might as well take a red marker on the attendance sheet and say....Give me that deficiency NOW
2017-02-28 07:42:15 PM catiah me too
2017-02-28 07:42:16 PM beckysalaz I feel if you do all th right things without the surveyors there that by the time surveyors get there you will be cool!
