2017-06-20 06:12:15 PM adrienne168 I have both long term residents and short term rehab res. I incorporate them into the ongoing activities at my facility.
2017-06-20 06:12:16 PM kathyhughes Jacqueline for my short term residents I did a dessert activity every night with them after their dinner. They are exhausted and did not want to do group activities
2017-06-20 06:12:30 PM kathyhughes so I would have them gather for dessert and games
2017-06-20 06:12:42 PM kathyhughes we did all sorts of bar games
2017-06-20 06:12:43 PM jacquelinememenza what kind of games appealed to them?

2017-06-20 06:13:18 PM jammydelbosque pack
2017-06-20 06:13:20 PM jacquelinememenza They are so difficult because they will initially say during assessment they do not want activities but after a few weeks complain that there is nothing to do
2017-06-20 06:13:23 PM rcgarcia73 baby steps? im crawling over here
2017-06-20 06:13:25 PM laceykdurham I think I will do better after the midterm. I have had a vacation trip planned for a year, and we happen to be leaveing the thursday of that week. plus i have training at work for our new emr that week. I think if I can make it passed there I'll be golden
2017-06-20 06:13:26 PM jackieb92 does anyone work in an AL that has a hard time finding activities to do that work with all sorts of cognitive levels, im looking for new ideas that work for everyone, does anyone have any ideas?!

2017-06-20 06:14:04 PM irene Kathy, I am from class 050217. This is the 8th week for me. Can you please look into the assignment 2 from week 5 for me please. Its not graded yet. Thank you.
2017-06-20 06:14:09 PM kathyhughes If you look on Pinterest there are lots of games that you can do with them
2017-06-20 06:14:23 PM tiwanah great ideas
2017-06-20 06:14:24 PM kathyhughes Irene please email me with that question
2017-06-20 06:14:26 PM patfuller The only activity I see that I would not be able to do is taking my residents out to fish in a real pond. Safety would be a great concern for me.
2017-06-20 06:14:27 PM elaundress We all have our moments , but thank God for people encouraging us.
2017-06-20 06:14:27 PM jill06 yes pintrest is a saving grace for ideas
2017-06-20 06:14:29 PM courtneyr2009 pinterest is great so is activityconnection
2017-06-20 06:14:29 PM sandybenitez90 Hi Jackie. Yes it is difficult. Most social activities work for all levels. What i am planning on doing is to separate them by their functioning level.
2017-06-20 06:14:38 PM dominiquesow jackie i work in AL and SN same time- there are many on pintrest that u can do
2017-06-20 06:14:41 PM courtneyr2009 Activities Director's Dream

2017-06-20 06:14:53 PM jackieb92 we do all sorts of things like socials, wii, outings, entertainment, crafts
2017-06-20 06:15:00 PM lindsaylu85 how do you all handle staff that cant follow simple tasks you ask. like for fathers day i ordered balloons for every male resident. asked my assistant to pass them out and i walked in sunday to 10 balloons.
2017-06-20 06:15:05 PM dominiquesow yogini- me too tmrw 2 jobs both activities different facilities

2017-06-20 06:15:22 PM jackieb92 i loveeeeee pintrest
2017-06-20 06:15:26 PM yogini For me all other assignments are difficult, I think , I am quite comfortable with mid-term practicum.
2017-06-20 06:15:28 PM jacquelinememenza jackie b92 yeah that's one of my biggest challenges in addressing people with different levels of functioning, I tried breaking them into small groups, like providing the ones who like to manipulate different objects with tactile sensory things, or some who are very passive I may group together with our aroma therapy diffuser, another I may give a walkman with their favorite music, and the group of very alert people I may have another group where I play a reminiscence game
2017-06-20 06:15:28 PM sandybenitez90 Like have higher functioning/ independent residents doing one while I assist lower functioning with a simple craft
2017-06-20 06:15:30 PM courtneyr2009 try to communicate with staff from a team approach
2017-06-20 06:15:31 PM jacquelinememenza thanks kathy
2017-06-20 06:15:31 PM laceykdurham we use pintrest alot! I have heard that others are not allowed to use pintrest while at work, and that alot of the planning and idea gathering from pintrest has to be done outside of work hours. I'm lucky that is not the case for me
2017-06-20 06:15:42 PM sandybenitez90 But in different areas of building
2017-06-20 06:15:50 PM rcgarcia73 hey Cynkarnes, thanx again for your help!
2017-06-20 06:15:50 PM jammydelbosque I'm trying to find someone that will exchange their calendar with me
