2017-08-29 06:22:33 PM schmidtk22 I think doughnuts and coffee woule be a lot of fun. Plus, most doughnuts are mechanical soft, so if residents wanted, they could have some, too.

2017-08-29 06:23:15 PM kathyhughes But the rule of thumb for Resident Councils is that the residents are in charge and if someone wants to attend who is not a resident the council has to vote on it
2017-08-29 06:23:18 PM sjorgensen enter the chat room
2017-08-29 06:23:29 PM cynkarnes76 Virginia: I would love to do a tea party outside, but our weather is unpredicatable in Delaware

2017-08-29 06:24:33 PM jhirczak My residents wont take charge, so we have unit reps. I facilitate the meeting then step out to give them opportunity to talk to OMBUDSMAN without me there
2017-08-29 06:24:38 PM taylorweitzel97 okay thank you Kathy!
2017-08-29 06:24:41 PM nnelson we only have resident council here too no family council

2017-08-29 06:24:46 PM lwright we are having our first family council on sept 1
2017-08-29 06:24:48 PM lindsaylu85 but thenthe residents want to invite their family and a meeting the normally takes an hours turns into 3 hours and a 2 pages typed list of concerns and greivances
2017-08-29 06:24:56 PM sjorgensen Family council and Resident are two different things.
2017-08-29 06:24:58 PM schmidtk22 yeah, we have a resident council for our skilled side then a homeowners association for our al side.

2017-08-29 06:25:06 PM melissamartin I take my residents to the dollar store monthly. Walmart is too big. I would need a 1:1 for every resident there
2017-08-29 06:25:16 PM schmidtk22 we also have a food committtee, as well, that meets once a month.
2017-08-29 06:25:26 PM kathyhughes I would guess that there would be a lot of concerns
2017-08-29 06:25:27 PM sandybenitez90 Food Committee gets intense! lol
