2017-04-18 05:43:44 PM christinadepolo ok,
2017-04-18 05:43:46 PM lanaf We have a special needs program for our fall risk residents. It's not like a scheduled activity, the residents are seated in a cirle around a couple of tables placed together, and they're all doing differnt things. One may be folding clothing protectors while another is putting colored pegs in a peg board. The residents are our "fall risk residents. It' a way of watching that they don't fall. But, while we are out in the dining room; the CNA's spemd 15 minute intervals out there with activities as well. It works out quite well.
2017-04-18 05:43:51 PM 1040417 ok
