2017-08-19 02:59:24 PM knapier Hi Jammy!
2017-08-19 02:59:47 PM jammydelbosque Hi Karla!!
2017-08-19 03:00:06 PM knapier where do you currently work?
2017-08-19 03:00:21 PM jammydelbosque I work at a nursing home. how about you?
2017-08-19 03:01:44 PM knapier Me too. I work at a SNF (The Chateau) in Naples, FL that is also in a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) Moorings Park
2017-08-19 03:02:27 PM knapier I am currently an activites assistant wanting to become an Activities Director which is why im taking this course
2017-08-19 03:02:41 PM jammydelbosque I work at Falcon Lake Nursing home, its the only facility thats in my town. We are a really small town down in South Texas.
2017-08-19 03:03:08 PM jammydelbosque Same here, I only work in the weekends. I'm hoping to higher up my position once I finish this course.
2017-08-19 03:03:27 PM jammydelbosque Do you have any events planned out for your residents?
2017-08-19 03:03:38 PM knapier I work 40 hours every week. there are 3 AA in my deparmtent so we alternate weekends monthly
2017-08-19 03:04:30 PM jammydelbosque Lucky you! I work 12 - 14 hours every week. They don't want to give me more hours because of "lack of funds".
2017-08-19 03:05:03 PM knapier yes we always have a lot planned out. One We are getting ready to start i am very excited about is our 12 week session doing OMA (Opening Minds thur Art) with our Dementia Unit
2017-08-19 03:05:57 PM knapier i will pull a link from You Tube for this program if you would like to watch it to see what it is all about
2017-08-19 03:06:23 PM jammydelbosque Thats awesome! I'm currently working on two events for this month which are, "Women's Equality Day" (Aug 26th) and "National Sports Day" (Aug 29th).
2017-08-19 03:06:50 PM jammydelbosque Yes! I would love to see the video!
2017-08-19 03:08:02 PM knapier https://youtu.be/QLbGyFuD9vY
2017-08-19 03:10:29 PM knapier let me know if the link does not work for you.
2017-08-19 03:14:22 PM jammydelbosque It worked prefectly fine! I love that ideas, my residents would love to do that at my facility. They enjoy arts and crafts so I'm pretty sure they would enjoy doing this!
2017-08-19 03:16:31 PM knapier My current director had to go thru a training to be certified to be able to run the program. It is so worth it tho. This will be our second session. after the 12 week program we do an art show and frame and put 2-3 pieces of each residents are work on display and make that a full day event for other residents of the community/family members/ co-workers to come see all of it
2017-08-19 03:17:03 PM knapier what are you going to do for "Women's Equality Day" and "National Sports Day"
2017-08-19 03:17:22 PM jammydelbosque I should definitly tell my current director about it, I'm pretty sure she'll love it!
2017-08-19 03:18:55 PM knapier we reached out to the art program at a local college to help with volunteers. Eeach resident has the same volunteer each week for the full 12 week program
2017-08-19 03:19:35 PM jammydelbosque For "Women's Equality Day" I'm planning a dinner for both men and women because there was men also fighting for women's right back in the day. Then have a quick presentation to remind them how women gained their rights and everything they went through. For "National Sports Day" I will be having different sports being played outdoors so they could enjoy a day out and also have their excersice.
2017-08-19 03:20:49 PM knapier thats great!!! how do your residents do outside there with the hot weather? I was just in arizona about a month ago and i was born in New Mexico so i know about the dry hot weather out that wasy lol
2017-08-19 03:22:27 PM jammydelbosque Lol, they're used to it! Most of them have lived in this area for years or live very close, so they don't mind it at all. I have a couple of residents that could be outside ALL day. I usually just take them a jar of water with ice so they could cool off in the time that they're there.
2017-08-19 03:23:10 PM knapier that nice. do you have a lot of resdients that are still really active and able to walk well and do active sports?
2017-08-19 03:24:22 PM knapier thats our biggest struggle down here. alot of the long term residents we have can transfer w/ a walker but have to be in a wheelchair most of the time :(
2017-08-19 03:26:02 PM jammydelbosque Yes I do, but even my residents in wheelchairs love to do sports! They play bowling, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair baseball, etc.. There's many things that they do that I get surprised with! Usually, when I motivate them thats when they get hyped and do things they didnt even know they were able to do. Its amazing!
2017-08-19 03:27:39 PM knapier ya thats what we do here. they love the bowling! we are ordering a basketball hoop so we can do a wheelchair basketball game activity too
2017-08-19 03:29:30 PM jammydelbosque They're going to enjoy it! My reisdents have tons of laughs playing it.
2017-08-19 03:30:12 PM knapier i cant wait!
2017-08-19 03:30:22 PM knapier next month we also do an apple pie contest
2017-08-19 03:31:30 PM jammydelbosque That sounds like fun! I have a lo of residents who enjoy baking. I'm still trying to figure out what to do next month.. I've been so busy planning these two big events for the month of August so I really hope they work out and my residents enjoy it!
2017-08-19 03:31:59 PM knapier we put up flyers for all of the co-workers that will provide an apple pie for the contest. They can either bake/buy one. Then we have a few about 5-6 residents be the judges. everybody LOVES it!
2017-08-19 03:32:20 PM knapier im sure they will love it!
2017-08-19 03:32:49 PM jammydelbosque I'll probably end up doing that, you gave me a great idea. Thanks!!
2017-08-19 03:32:53 PM knapier the Co-workers get really into it and its a nice way for the residents and co-workers to do something together like this
2017-08-19 03:33:00 PM knapier no problem!
2017-08-19 03:33:21 PM jammydelbosque Yes, I love that idea because they will be able to bond with each other.
2017-08-19 03:34:30 PM knapier For Halloween we reach out to our co-workers with kids (I have 3) and we porvide Tric or Treat candy for the residnets to hand out to the kids. We bring the kids by door to door to the residents rooms dressed up
2017-08-19 03:34:51 PM knapier They LOVE kids! i bring mine in on the weekends and have them even read a couple books to them
2017-08-19 03:35:16 PM knapier and its good reading practice for the little ones so its a win win! lol
2017-08-19 03:36:54 PM jammydelbosque Omg! You have amazing ideas! I never thought of that, I would probably try that too. I was planning on taking them tric or treating or having them give out candies outside the facilty. My residents love kids as well. The church group take their kids and they LOVE seeing them sing. I dont have any kids of my own, but I have two nephews and I know how much happiness they could bring to someone's life
2017-08-19 03:37:43 PM knapier absolutly! we reach out to the elementary schools as well for christmas concerts
2017-08-19 03:38:17 PM knapier usually schools are more then willing to do that! and they do it for free too!
2017-08-19 03:38:56 PM jammydelbosque Well I started working back in April, but I know that my facility usually has the kids from the elemntray schools come out and sing to our residents.
2017-08-19 03:39:42 PM jammydelbosque Sometimes they take the residents treats or a little gift bag! or vise verca, they all love it!
2017-08-19 03:40:38 PM knapier ya, the kids here alwasy make christmas cards for the residents to give them. its so special for them especally for the ones that dont have any family
2017-08-19 03:41:46 PM jammydelbosque Oh yess, I have a lot of residents that dont have family or have family but they dont visit. It's very sad..
2017-08-19 03:41:56 PM knapier yes it is
2017-08-19 03:43:22 PM jammydelbosque I dont know how long we are supposed to chat for, but you gave me so much great ideas! Thank you so much for your time, I highly appreciate it! :)
2017-08-19 03:43:40 PM knapier some of our big routine monthly events are Mens Luncheon, Ladies Tea Party( we have a reader come to this and she will read stories. every month she has a different topic and will dress up according to her topic) and our monthly pizza party!
2017-08-19 03:44:00 PM knapier no problem at all if you need more or have more you have my email!
2017-08-19 03:45:29 PM jammydelbosque We usually have the same things, we have Tea Time, Lunch outing (we take them out to they're favorite resturants) and we have a man that comes with his guitar and sings to them. At the end of the month we have them choose a meal that they would like to eat and we ask the kitchen to cook it for them.
2017-08-19 03:46:08 PM jammydelbosque Alright, thank you so much! Likewise! If you need anything you may contact me via email!
2017-08-19 03:46:18 PM knapier AWESOME!! have a good day!
