2017-08-22 06:03:30 PM elainer11 I have found that the men share many of the same interest and bring a lot to the conversation and socialization. However, they do cluster around each other for the support, I guess.

2017-08-22 06:11:21 PM lynmyhre I like the generations of music activity...but far more (like 80%) of my residents are not able to dance.
2017-08-22 06:11:23 PM virginia IT IS HARD TO GET MY RESIDENTS TO GO TO GROUP THINGS THEY JUST DONT WANT TO GO
2017-08-22 06:11:29 PM dianej For the most part we can only take those who can walk up the bus steps. Sometimes we can borrow a handicap bus but it is broken down so many times. We have a van that can hold two people as well. Last month we went the to zoo. It took 8 buses and cars to get everyone there but everyone had a blast. The month before that we went to a county fair.
2017-08-22 06:11:33 PM elainer11 loving the ideas!
2017-08-22 06:11:39 PM lwright I like that lunch bunch ideat marci
2017-08-22 06:12:19 PM adrienne168 your keeping in suspense sjorgensen!
2017-08-22 06:12:22 PM donna61 group activities are more difficult to get them involved in but u just have to lure them in with food lol
2017-08-22 06:12:27 PM taylorweitzel97 yeah our bus is handicaped. it takes a long time for sure, we went to the fair also! we did it over the course of 3 days to make sure everyone who wanted to go, a truck to follow with their wheel chairs and lots of volenteers haha
2017-08-22 06:12:34 PM lynmyhre I recently cleaned the activities closet, and found a ton of crafting things that were buried. Crafts haven't been on the calendar for months from what I see on the last few before I came on board...so Sept we will bring them back!
2017-08-22 06:12:45 PM lwright Donna the food does it everytilme
2017-08-22 06:12:46 PM sjorgensen I got those "special" sunglasses about 2 weeks before the event; I printed out some educational information so we could talk about the eclipse; and, we did a couple of eclipse projects like sewing the moon onto the sun in the morning before the eclipse took place. We were ready to watch when it happened.

2017-08-22 06:13:28 PM reachleighann im going to make sensory bottles next month!!
2017-08-22 06:13:34 PM taram Hello all
2017-08-22 06:13:35 PM lisawills Virginia, what you can do is get a few residents and do secret shopper for residents who don't want to go out. The residents write a list for for what they want and then we go out shopping for them.
2017-08-22 06:13:38 PM taylorweitzel97 ohh what are the snsory bottles like?
2017-08-22 06:13:40 PM maria7293 i did last week
2017-08-22 06:13:43 PM marcieowens yes bus outings are an ordeal but well worth the effort
2017-08-22 06:13:47 PM elainer11 We do jewlery making on Monday and the results are amazing!
2017-08-22 06:13:47 PM reachleighann look on pinterst for sensory ideas! i researched tons today!

2017-08-22 06:14:15 PM lwright Does lunch bunch go out? or can it be delivery? how does paying work?
2017-08-22 06:14:17 PM adrienne168 the residents enjoyed making sensory bottles with glitter glue. I used the small bottles of water for the project. It was easier for them to pick up and shake
2017-08-22 06:14:18 PM jhirczak We try to do as much activity outdoors too
2017-08-22 06:14:24 PM dianej Crafts are very hard on my floor as I have the advanced demenita residents. So today we did things like snap beans. Most enjoyed that but I did have a few that only wanted to put them in their mouth. Always having to watch!
2017-08-22 06:14:25 PM reachleighann you can use water bottles and pu water glitter glue and it kind of resembles a lava lamp
