2017-05-16 06:09:10 PM kbertocci We are having a fantasitc nursing home week at the facility. Monday we started out with a food show with our coorporate staff (residents, family, and staff got to try a bunch of new foods from several different vendors. After eating, we all filled our surveys of our favorite foods and these will be added to the residents menus in the next few weeks). Throughout the week, we are giving free food away to the staff. Monday was the food show, today was pizza and salad with cookies, tomorrow is breakfast (for night shift), Thursday is mexican, and Friday is pies and ice cream. We are also giving away gift cards and baskets throughout the week to all of the staff.

2017-05-16 06:18:25 PM jill06 i was going to say that too- its usually considered a choking hazard
2017-05-16 06:18:28 PM anissa44 I may use the hot dog idea for my father's day

2017-05-16 06:18:31 PM matthewc a lot of my residents are so obssessed with this trump/russia stuff. Thats all they wanted to discuss this morning during coffee hour.

2017-05-16 06:19:03 PM dlunaaa95 the hot dog bar sounds like a great idea

2017-05-16 06:19:06 PM courtneyr2009 yeah we have hotdogs every saturday
2017-05-16 06:19:09 PM marilumolina i don't know why but in special events seems like everyone can chew everything

2017-05-16 06:19:22 PM ellenmfm It made it easier planning them for my members.
2017-05-16 06:19:24 PM anissa44 I just started a quiliting group with some ladies today. They loved it. And named it the Busy Bee Quilting Group

2017-05-16 06:19:45 PM traciewiggins110770 rootbeer floats & hotdogs for Memorial day. Motorcycle club for Father's day
2017-05-16 06:19:45 PM sherralcawthon I'm finding that a lot of the things that I worried were too childish, more people show up to. It lets them have fun and cut loose, and they have a blast.
2017-05-16 06:19:46 PM criseldasaenz enter the chat room
2017-05-16 06:19:48 PM dingram30 have flags and a party planned

2017-05-16 06:19:57 PM dlunaaa95 cookout for memorial day
2017-05-16 06:19:57 PM elishad For the person that was doing the baseball stuff, how many people work in your activity department? How does that work exactly?
2017-05-16 06:19:58 PM aleda if you have a rs that has issues they would prob be on puried or ground but you can also cut length and width if your worried we have hotdogs and never had anyone choke ground hamburger seems to have more issues then hotdogs
2017-05-16 06:19:59 PM susankent I have heard of problems with the hotdogs before but if you watch your patients and know which ones might be at risk just pay extra attention to them. my residents love hot dogs, hamburgers and pulled pork.
2017-05-16 06:20:00 PM courtneyzary Rootbeer floats are a good idea
2017-05-16 06:20:02 PM ashley04 I have worked 5 years in assisted living/independent/memory care. Our facility is building a skilled care.I have already been told that I got the director position when I get done with these 2 courses and take test. So for me not really being in a skilled facility, do yall have any pointers of what I should be looking for?
2017-05-16 06:20:02 PM matthewc we have ground hot dogs

2017-05-16 06:20:31 PM marciatrimiew The facility that I have my practicum at, the administrator made them take down the posters for Nursing Home Week because there can be no tape on the walls. I felt bad for the staff and was disappointed and I don't even work there
2017-05-16 06:20:33 PM marilumolina the idea of hvieng some vet come and raise the flag sounds good
