2013-07-18 06:31:48 PM kathyhughes We always had a cart that went around once a week
2013-07-18 06:31:53 PM sandy55 We used to with the other company.

2013-07-18 06:32:31 PM cwagner58 A good many of our residents have no funds to speak of........ we have a hard time planning weekly outings sometimes because of this.
2013-07-18 06:32:36 PM kathyhughes No there isn't Elisa
2013-07-18 06:32:43 PM cyndeec suzyssitcom.com website for tongue depressor bracelets

2013-07-18 06:33:33 PM smmbruin10 good deal, thanks Kathy
2013-07-18 06:33:47 PM cwagner58 It makes it difficult to include everyone on the outings.... we have many free or low cost outings.... especially in the summer but there are so many more things we could do if there was a bit more money.
2013-07-18 06:34:05 PM barbalbert Kathy you're a great teacher
2013-07-18 06:34:10 PM mbmalone3 we are going to a baseball game in two weeks, depending on the weather
2013-07-18 06:34:17 PM mbmalone3 we just went to the circus and they loved it
2013-07-18 06:34:19 PM cyndeec Yes she is!!
2013-07-18 06:34:22 PM kathyhughes I actually assessed the outings and re-designed the activities to limited outings
2013-07-18 06:34:36 PM richardsonl Kathy what do you mean by limited outings
2013-07-18 06:34:42 PM kathyhughes we had luncheons in so that more residents could attend
2013-07-18 06:34:51 PM kathyhughes I didn't have a van
2013-07-18 06:34:53 PM cwagner58 We are taking a few to the circus the last day of July... if it's not still 90 plus and tropical.... it's outdoors under the big top.
2013-07-18 06:35:04 PM mbmalone3 big apple?
2013-07-18 06:35:05 PM cyndeec We can't go out but show baseball games on wednesday for the men (or women) it's been a big hit
2013-07-18 06:35:09 PM barbalbert Here is an idea what about getting your local ice cream truck to come and offer residents ice cream
2013-07-18 06:35:09 PM cwagner58 We have lunches in and we have lunch outings.
2013-07-18 06:35:12 PM anniei2552 I do a lot of outings
2013-07-18 06:35:18 PM sandy55 Kathy. If you dont mind me asking but are old are you?
2013-07-18 06:35:20 PM frankin that sounds fun
2013-07-18 06:35:28 PM anniei2552 burgerking now have .50 snow cones
2013-07-18 06:35:31 PM cwagner58 We did that for a time... but it was mostly staff buying the icecream.
2013-07-18 06:35:33 PM melba lo
2013-07-18 06:35:35 PM kathyhughes so I got businesses to come into the facility
2013-07-18 06:35:41 PM anniei2552 they love it plus a lot are not from the area I drive around
2013-07-18 06:35:43 PM frankin maybe we on reb ihave help.
2013-07-18 06:35:51 PM richardsonl Okay. I asked because on the assisted living side, we have the same residents sign up for everything and I was thinking about limiting the outings for the same resident to twice a month to have an opportunity for other residents to sign up.
2013-07-18 06:36:02 PM eklemetsen ok, sounds good! Thanks Kathy for everything that you do for us!
2013-07-18 06:36:05 PM anniei2552 my facility pays for them'
2013-07-18 06:36:05 PM melba sound young to me
2013-07-18 06:36:25 PM melba if not young at heart
2013-07-18 06:36:26 PM cyndeec My monthy budget is 100.00
2013-07-18 06:36:27 PM kathyhughes Oh Sandy...lets just say I have been around since before there were regulations for activities! I am 57 and 1/2
2013-07-18 06:36:49 PM cwagner58 If I limit my residents there are many outings that no one would be able to go on.... I do ask differnt ones each week on a rotating basis.... then if they have all declined I alllow others that have recently been out to fill the vacant spots.
2013-07-18 06:36:50 PM melba oooh, yea
