2013-08-01 05:42:36 PM kathyhughes What are you planning for September?
2013-08-01 05:44:42 PM tina71503 I'm wanting to make leaves out of contruction paper with the residents and let them be creative. Then I'm going to put their pictures in the middle of the leaves and make a big family tree to decorate our wall with for fall. All fall colors, of course
2013-08-01 05:45:30 PM tina71503 I figure it would be something fun for the residents and staff and something the families would enjoy seeing.
2013-08-01 05:45:42 PM kathyhughes sounds like a great time...esp the family tree...and using the fall colors will bring attention to it
2013-08-01 05:45:47 PM kathyhughes Great idea
2013-08-01 05:46:01 PM kathyhughes It should take a few days to get that done
2013-08-01 05:46:35 PM tina71503 Thank you. I have a resident in assissted living drawing and painting some birds for our tree. She's very artistic and it gives her a project
2013-08-01 05:47:20 PM kathyhughes good idea! Hope that you share that too!
2013-08-01 05:47:54 PM tina71503 She paints pictures, they are beautiful and china bowls and teaches a small class to the other assisted living residents. very cool

2013-08-01 06:00:01 PM bhanson That's exactly what I've been doing but it is kind of boring
2013-08-01 06:00:06 PM cwagner58 I hear that there is some type of nasty stomach virus making it's rounds.... hasn't been in this area yet though.
2013-08-01 06:00:07 PM tamela50 I'm looking for a new assistant...mine is swithcing to another college...she was awesome...going to really miss her

2013-08-01 06:00:58 PM cwagner58 Hoping it's not 90 and humid.... been there done that!
2013-08-01 06:01:03 PM bhanson Great idea!
2013-08-01 06:01:30 PM kathyhughes I would make them for the holidays and have some spare packets for other months
2013-08-01 06:01:41 PM cyndeec enter the chat room

2013-08-01 06:03:06 PM mbmalone3 hi
2013-08-01 06:03:15 PM bhanson Ask the staff what kind of activities that they would like to be involved in
2013-08-01 06:03:19 PM cyndeec let them help plan it with their ideas
2013-08-01 06:03:21 PM kathyhughes Hello Melissa
2013-08-01 06:03:29 PM cwagner58 We have a shining star program...... fill the card with punches and your name goes in for each card you fill. A gift card for Walmart is the prize at the monthly meething.
2013-08-01 06:03:37 PM cwagner58 meeting..... sorry
2013-08-01 06:03:52 PM kathyhughes good idea
2013-08-01 06:03:56 PM cwagner58 Long day hiking, picnicing at Mohican
2013-08-01 06:04:02 PM mbmalone3 I like that idea
2013-08-01 06:04:14 PM tamela50 lov e the shining star program idea
2013-08-01 06:04:22 PM cyndeec good idea
2013-08-01 06:04:28 PM tina71503 I am very blessed with an excellent set of people to work around. They are always very helpful with my activities. It makes it a lot less hectic and fun
2013-08-01 06:04:42 PM mbmalone3 we have a very difficult time having other staff help us, we offer food to them but it doesnt work
2013-08-01 06:04:52 PM kathyhughes A free raffle of everyone who brings a resident to an activity on a given week?
2013-08-01 06:04:59 PM tamela50 i have the same situation tina...the cna are always willing to help
2013-08-01 06:05:08 PM tina71503 Thats a great idea!
2013-08-01 06:05:11 PM cwagner58 We are going to an online census driven scheduling program.... essentially I will be losing employee hours for my dept. I am not happy about this..... but it's what is happening. I can barely keep up now.... so getting other staff to help in critical.
2013-08-01 06:05:13 PM kathyhughes Like a$100 gift certificate to the mall
2013-08-01 06:05:20 PM bhanson We used to have a similar program; however, we now have a new HC Admin and she has cancelled Staff Meetings and the rewards program. Kind of frustrating!

2013-08-01 06:05:44 PM barbalbert hi
2013-08-01 06:05:45 PM mbmalone3 besides gift cards what else works for others?
2013-08-01 06:05:56 PM hmc123 enter the chat room
2013-08-01 06:05:59 PM kathyhughes gas cards
2013-08-01 06:06:01 PM cyndeec I don't have that issue thank goodness
2013-08-01 06:06:20 PM bhanson Free meal tickets?
2013-08-01 06:06:27 PM mbmalone3 my admin said that we shouldnt rely on cna's so its hard to get help from higher ups
2013-08-01 06:06:30 PM cwagner58 Gas cards are good too... the good thing about the Walmart card is it works for gas, food etc.
2013-08-01 06:06:52 PM kathyhughes Cindy W I would re-assess the activities and perhaps cut down on some
2013-08-01 06:07:00 PM tina71503 yep. and with the walmart card it saves you 10 cents a gallon
2013-08-01 06:07:06 PM kathyhughes And thank-you notes from the residents
2013-08-01 06:07:16 PM mbmalone3 I like the thank you notes
2013-08-01 06:07:27 PM tina71503 awe......the staff would really enjoy that
2013-08-01 06:07:31 PM bhanson Have a "brag" board
2013-08-01 06:07:39 PM tamela50 sonic gift cards
2013-08-01 06:07:46 PM barbalbert once in a while a party
2013-08-01 06:07:46 PM cwagner58 I will have to cut down the activities but I hate to do that.... I just spent several months building it up and have received so many compliments from staff and families.
2013-08-01 06:07:53 PM tamela50 thats a good idea too brooke
2013-08-01 06:07:54 PM kathyhughes I had the folks who were always looking for something to do who would make thank-you notes every month and we would have residents sign them and give them out
2013-08-01 06:08:27 PM kathyhughes I know Cindy W but sometimes we have to
2013-08-01 06:08:27 PM cyndeec everyone loves to be recognized
2013-08-01 06:08:28 PM barbalbert good idea i like that
2013-08-01 06:08:35 PM mbmalone3 I really like the thank you notes, we can personalize them to make the CNA feel appreciated
2013-08-01 06:08:49 PM cwagner58 We do little thankyou's too. I always make sure to personally thank all that help us and tell them how much I appreciate it.
2013-08-01 06:09:02 PM tina71503 hahahaha.....the sonic card would work great for my folks, Tamela, we have one right down the road from our workplace and the staff are always getting food and drinks from there, daily.
2013-08-01 06:09:10 PM kathyhughes Its very rare that we have hand written thank-you notes'
2013-08-01 06:09:30 PM kathyhughes also perhaps even mailing it to the staff's house
2013-08-01 06:10:02 PM barbalbert thank you note with tray of cookies
2013-08-01 06:10:02 PM mbmalone3 we put thank you hearts on the windows for cna week thanking them for everything they did. It gave us a chance to show everyone that the cnas are appreciated
2013-08-01 06:10:04 PM tamela50 we love the happy hour
2013-08-01 06:10:21 PM tina71503 me too, Cindy. I haven't done the "thank you" cards yet, but we're definately going to try it out. However, I always personally thank them. I am very greatful when I get the help
