2017-04-25 06:15:32 PM joanne44 great Idea ellenmfm
2017-04-25 06:15:35 PM kbertocci We do an auction with paper dollars. When every resident enters the dining room, they get $10 facility bucks. Staff donate items for 3 months, then we auction them off. The resident's don't have to spend money, the activities department does't have to spend money, and the resident's love it! It's almost like a flea market. No item can cost more than the $10 max that each individual has.
2017-04-25 06:15:37 PM mistyg13 to raise extra money to male nursing home week big!

2017-04-25 06:18:21 PM charlotte what is the foundation of the staff/resident fashion show......what is the clothes inventory........
2017-04-25 06:18:22 PM maryjane1 family council?
2017-04-25 06:18:24 PM cindymay We have a family council, but it's very hard to get them to attend
2017-04-25 06:18:32 PM ebreeves left the chat room
2017-04-25 06:18:37 PM 1040417 resident council meeting every first thursday of month
2017-04-25 06:18:38 PM mistyg13 we dont do a family council what is that?
2017-04-25 06:18:39 PM chelseytimreck family council is similar to resident council
2017-04-25 06:18:42 PM alennon we just do a family night
2017-04-25 06:18:48 PM asjodin our family council is led by family members who meet to discuss topics and the facility
2017-04-25 06:18:50 PM mhampton If your facility is having a lot of issues Family Council gets ugly quick lol
2017-04-25 06:18:51 PM jessicag87 nice good idea
2017-04-25 06:18:51 PM kbertocci We don't do family council because families are reminded to bring up concerns they may have immediately to a staff member. If they wait until the date of the meeting, something could be overlooked for weeks
2017-04-25 06:18:54 PM gmhalpin We have a hard time to get famillies to care plan meetings; I think resident council would be difficult
2017-04-25 06:18:56 PM kathyhughes Its like a resident council only for families and loved ones
2017-04-25 06:19:00 PM priscillad Family Council is getting the family more invovled
2017-04-25 06:19:01 PM melodyh we have alot of family nights too
2017-04-25 06:19:05 PM shawnh I like the idea of having a program during the family council, rather than it just being a complaint session
2017-04-25 06:19:06 PM patfuller So listen up everyone how hard is it to get money from your Administrator for activities
2017-04-25 06:19:07 PM criseldasaenz I had a great time taking photo for 5 de mayo for the residents. I dressed them as charro with zarape. I displayed their photo on the hall way. Visitor enjoyed their photos and thought it was cute.
2017-04-25 06:19:09 PM chelseytimreck i can imagine!
2017-04-25 06:19:15 PM kathyhughes It takes a lost of work and consistancy
