2013-08-06 06:06:26 PM nansullivan We have an apple tree in our patio area. Great ideas for the apples. Especially the apples that have fallen on the ground and are still "good" - we can go pick them and then paint with them. Neat.

2013-08-06 06:06:42 PM sharonbeseda You can do this in the jar?
2013-08-06 06:06:44 PM krkurth do you use mason jars>

2013-08-06 06:10:13 PM nansullivan do you think we can dry the small (not as big as an egg) apples whole and then string them or something?
2013-08-06 06:10:15 PM stevemelton I'm new at this. Can you do Halloween with the residents?
2013-08-06 06:10:20 PM jmulcock we have a load of kids that come too

2013-08-06 06:10:53 PM krkurth we have residents families and staff families kids come and trick or treat at each resdients doorway where they have candy to pass out
2013-08-06 06:10:59 PM kdillon our residents do a costume parade in the afternoon, and our daycare kids go with them
2013-08-06 06:11:00 PM dleonard It's amazing how many of my residents dress up for our party.
2013-08-06 06:11:02 PM lwolter265 yeah we place a sign on the residents rooms so kids know what rooms to go in
2013-08-06 06:11:08 PM jmulcock they are local school children that walk over or take bus
2013-08-06 06:11:19 PM jmulcock we have about 80 kids that come throughout the day
2013-08-06 06:11:21 PM 091190 we put an add in the paper and staff bring thier kids as well as school groups
2013-08-06 06:11:22 PM nansullivan We do dress up, all the CNAs help the residents and the staff has a costume contest, it's fun. Then kids come and get candy and see all the residents. Its very nice.
2013-08-06 06:11:27 PM chustead We advertise on the radio and in the paper. Usually its mostly staff and resident family but we try.
2013-08-06 06:11:31 PM kathyhughes We would have a big party with a costume contest
2013-08-06 06:11:32 PM krkurth this is my first time organizing it soo im going to try just hangin up multiple sign up sheets
2013-08-06 06:11:33 PM cnorton Last year was the first year we as staff got to wear costumes in the hospital, swing bed
2013-08-06 06:11:36 PM juniorbull ask families schools for attending.. safer than outside
2013-08-06 06:11:54 PM meister77 we use to have a time at night when kids could come and the residents would get to pass out candy. but due to many illnesses they stopped it
2013-08-06 06:12:06 PM suzanneoliver we will probably have an afternoon party so they can all participate. Probably have a younger set of kids
2013-08-06 06:12:10 PM 091190 we have the staff walk down the hall parade style and the residents vote on best costum
2013-08-06 06:12:14 PM sharonbeseda Do people normally sign up to help with events?
2013-08-06 06:12:18 PM cnorton It was a lot of fun and the patients reall y enjoyed it

2013-08-06 06:12:31 PM kathyhughes If you are looking for kids see if the Homeschoolers can come
2013-08-06 06:12:34 PM juniorbull we do a cake walk
2013-08-06 06:12:50 PM chustead The residents love it when the staff dresses up
2013-08-06 06:12:53 PM 300494 what is a cake walk?
2013-08-06 06:12:57 PM stevemelton Having it earlier makes sense. and the homeschoolers. would not have thought of fhat.
2013-08-06 06:13:43 PM chustead We do most of activities earlier in the day. Many of the residents like to go to bed early or nap in the afternoon
2013-08-06 06:13:44 PM lwolter265 you can post signs on the street on halloween
2013-08-06 06:13:47 PM suzanneoliver My residents are loving working on christmas crafts to sell at our November bazzar
2013-08-06 06:13:53 PM cnorton I can't believe halloween is right around the corner
2013-08-06 06:13:55 PM stevemelton Is a cake walk like hot potato? walking until the music stops and you get a cake for the winner?
2013-08-06 06:13:58 PM krkurth what does everyone do for veterans day?
2013-08-06 06:14:03 PM nansullivan We are attached to a hospital so we get kids from the staff of our SNF and the hospital. Very fun. We ask for donations from staff for candy, put us sign up sheets and it seems to go smoothly.
2013-08-06 06:14:23 PM nansullivan We did not do anything for Veterans day. Sad.
2013-08-06 06:14:24 PM chustead We do candy donation also.
2013-08-06 06:14:25 PM sharonbeseda Good idea
2013-08-06 06:14:28 PM kdillon hahaha no. from what i remember (from back in my horse show days) our cake walk was kind of a raffle
2013-08-06 06:14:29 PM juniorbull bunch of cakes on table and numbers on floor. when music stops the number that is picked out of hat wins if you are on that number
2013-08-06 06:14:37 PM sharonbeseda candy donations is good idea
2013-08-06 06:14:39 PM 091190 we have a special service and our ladies group makes little things for our veterians
2013-08-06 06:15:01 PM kathyhughes Veterans Day we would make a display of all of our Veterans and have a flag ceremony with the boy scouts
2013-08-06 06:15:03 PM krkurth what kind of special service?
2013-08-06 06:15:09 PM nansullivan 091190 what a great idea. We will do that this next time.
2013-08-06 06:15:09 PM stevemelton 091190: love the gifts the ladies make
2013-08-06 06:15:12 PM letroces4 for veterans day we had a flag raising ceremony to honow the vets and had each vet representing a military sector to hold the emblem... our resident council vice president gave an opening speech and a prayer and the DON and administrator raised the flag
2013-08-06 06:15:12 PM lwolter265 some staff went to veterans hospital to play bingo with them and bring gifts
2013-08-06 06:15:16 PM rabille86 the boy scouts idea is cute
2013-08-06 06:15:24 PM letroces4 it's good to get the staff involved...
2013-08-06 06:15:26 PM rabille86 we don't have boyscouts in our area anymore
2013-08-06 06:15:27 PM lwolter265 its on our website i think with photos of them
2013-08-06 06:15:27 PM kathyhughes We used the foam core displays that you can get at the Office supply stores
2013-08-06 06:15:28 PM chustead I have volunteer students from the local college I wanted to get them involved this year.
2013-08-06 06:15:46 PM sharonbeseda What are suggestions for having a picnic serving hot dogs and hamburgers?
2013-08-06 06:15:53 PM 091190 have someone from the VA come over or a minister and the service is about honoring the veterians
2013-08-06 06:16:04 PM stevemelton Great ideas for the veterans. They deserve it.
2013-08-06 06:16:09 PM chustead Last year they made ghosts out of suckers to pass out to the residents and family.
2013-08-06 06:16:22 PM 091190 picnics, do lawn games and music
2013-08-06 06:16:26 PM nansullivan Has anyone done a "craft fair" for the residents to sell their crafts? Or staff?
2013-08-06 06:16:29 PM sharonbeseda that wouldn't be too hard
2013-08-06 06:16:36 PM kdillon we do a craft sale every year
2013-08-06 06:16:44 PM sharonbeseda lawn games and music, aw
2013-08-06 06:16:55 PM nansullivan How do you do your fair? Kdillon?
2013-08-06 06:16:59 PM rabille86 how does everyone get residents to come to Arts & Crafts? at my facility it was like pulling teeth
2013-08-06 06:17:01 PM chustead We usually serve both and let the residents pick their favorite. We have weekly BBQ all summer for family, residents and staff.
2013-08-06 06:17:01 PM jamieblue we have in the past
2013-08-06 06:17:03 PM meister77 bob for apples
2013-08-06 06:17:15 PM kdillon its usually stuff the residents have helped make, and we use the money to buy more supplies. we made enough money to buy a small kiln, so we don't do too bad
2013-08-06 06:17:23 PM chustead You have to keep the staff happy too. Happy staff Happy residents.
2013-08-06 06:17:33 PM kathyhughes Yes I have some info posted on my Pinterest Board http://pinterest.com/kateh201/boards/

2013-08-06 06:18:09 PM nansullivan DANG that sounds amazing kdillon.
2013-08-06 06:18:10 PM 091190 mine love arts in crafts though its hard to pick something they are able to do all of. think sometimes they would rather sit and watch me do it for them lol. but i try and pick crafts that are easy for them to do
2013-08-06 06:18:19 PM sharonbeseda wow
2013-08-06 06:18:35 PM kathyhughes If residents don't want to come to crafts...then try another type program....I would ask them what they would like to do
2013-08-06 06:18:40 PM chustead Many of my residents like to watch as well.
2013-08-06 06:18:41 PM lwolter265 we get them a lot of wooden bird houses to put outside their windows
2013-08-06 06:18:44 PM cnorton just added your pinterest to my favs thx
2013-08-06 06:18:45 PM kdillon it is. and it helps save money from taking our stuff somewhere else to get fired.
2013-08-06 06:18:58 PM nansullivan Guess that is the next thing on my "hit list" to try to get approval for... a craft fair.
2013-08-06 06:18:58 PM krkurth im in the process of waiting for a sand craft to dry from plaster of paris......not sure if its gonna make the cut for next craft project for national play in the sand day
2013-08-06 06:18:58 PM sharonbeseda mine would probably only be able to watch
2013-08-06 06:19:06 PM lwolter265 they can paint it , glitter, stickeres, whatever they want
2013-08-06 06:19:12 PM suzanneoliver Hobby Lobby has some real easy packaged crafts. A lot of sticking labels on almost anybody can do that
2013-08-06 06:19:20 PM rabille86 we used to do birdhouses, and the residents loved them
2013-08-06 06:19:28 PM rabille86 but health department won't allow it any more
2013-08-06 06:19:40 PM kathyhughes no bird houses? Why?
2013-08-06 06:19:40 PM sharonbeseda I'll bet some could stick labels on with supervision
2013-08-06 06:19:42 PM nansullivan rabille86 why not?
2013-08-06 06:19:43 PM chustead I tell one gentleman that he can supervise the students on crafts he likes that idea.
2013-08-06 06:19:44 PM lwolter265 we get them at joanns and they are really cheap
2013-08-06 06:19:50 PM sharonbeseda yes, why
2013-08-06 06:19:51 PM 300494 why bc of fumes
2013-08-06 06:19:52 PM krkurth you can use gords for birhouses....we did and they turned out great
2013-08-06 06:19:54 PM lwolter265 only a dollar for most
2013-08-06 06:19:56 PM kdillon our residents enjoy making birthday and christmas cards and we got a stamp they can push onto the back that says "made with love by Kendal residents"
2013-08-06 06:20:02 PM rabille86 WA state says it's against health regulations
2013-08-06 06:20:10 PM stevemelton rabille86 Health wont' let the birdhouses outside or what?
2013-08-06 06:20:18 PM sharonbeseda to make make a bird house?

2013-08-06 06:20:27 PM nansullivan what is against health regulations? the hot glue?
2013-08-06 06:20:28 PM kathyhughes I would like to see that
2013-08-06 06:20:46 PM rabille86 No idea, but the last time we had them, we got tagged
2013-08-06 06:20:52 PM kathyhughes I always ask to see the regulations
2013-08-06 06:20:53 PM rabille86 so they all had to come down
2013-08-06 06:20:59 PM sharonbeseda we have birdhouses everywhere the residents go outside
2013-08-06 06:21:08 PM 300494 it must be some specific product they have a problem with bc that doesn't seem right
2013-08-06 06:21:11 PM chustead I'm in WA as well there are ways to get around some of the rules and still be in conpliance
2013-08-06 06:21:11 PM lwolter265 we have bird houses and bird feeders and state has never mentioned them
2013-08-06 06:21:22 PM nansullivan Goodness. We have birdhouses made from 1/2 gal milk cartons and humming bird feeders from wine bottles... ding dign
2013-08-06 06:21:37 PM kathyhughes Don't worry about it.....all
2013-08-06 06:21:48 PM sharonbeseda we have tons of birds feeding. I will say that they are messy and leave behind plenty of poop
2013-08-06 06:21:51 PM kathyhughes I would bet that there was something that went along with that
2013-08-06 06:21:54 PM letroces4 september 5 is a jewish new year, Rosh hashanah.. i don't have any idea yet what to do on that date.. do youu celebrate it in your facilities?
