2017-09-05 05:51:05 PM slooney We list "activity of the day" on the calendar for our dementia unit and then change it up based on attendees... BINGO, music, exercise, games, etc...
2017-09-05 05:51:21 PM jhirczak LOL, really?
2017-09-05 05:51:27 PM belindapilz my manage ment team keeps asking for night activities but the residents just dont want to be up for them.
2017-09-05 05:51:36 PM kathyhughes yep
2017-09-05 05:52:39 PM lynmyhre After 5, my folks are down for the count. I'd love to do a television series in the evening sometime. We did The Queen from Netflix at my last place...10 episodes per year. All go on netflilx at once and then meter out to one per week and after 10 weeks, go to another series. It
2017-09-05 05:52:52 PM jhirczak We only do evenings 1x weekly, with the exception of summer.
2017-09-05 05:53:03 PM virginia we are a hospitla setting so most activites are during the day time once a month they have a movie out side for everyone who wants to come
2017-09-05 05:53:26 PM lynmyhre I want to do an outdoor movie next spring...
2017-09-05 05:53:47 PM slooney I want to do an outdoor movie, wheelchair "drive in"
2017-09-05 05:54:00 PM belindapilz so i have a question kinda... so my adminstator wants me to have this extensive exercise plan and do it with them every day but is you look at all the activity assesments 5 out of the 42 really like to exercise. what do i do?
2017-09-05 05:54:02 PM kathyhughes That would be fun
2017-09-05 05:54:13 PM ashtyn hello how is everyone tonight

2017-09-05 05:54:48 PM belindapilz my step dad has a blow up movie screen and a projector next spring im going to use it i can't wait!
2017-09-05 05:54:49 PM amccurdy enter the chat room
2017-09-05 05:54:50 PM jhirczak Maybe more would participate
2017-09-05 05:54:51 PM slooney Belinda, we do a "fit and trim" program everyday... just basic stretches... the group shifts a little, but most of my seniors love it and come every day
2017-09-05 05:55:01 PM lynmyhre Drive in...fun. Does that mean staff puts on roller skates and delivers the food?!
2017-09-05 05:55:11 PM kathyhughes Mine did not like exercise so during the programs we would have a "7th Inning Stretch" and they all had to exercise during the programs
2017-09-05 05:55:32 PM lynmyhre Like that idea, Kathy.
2017-09-05 05:55:38 PM slooney I would love for it to be a community event... no roller skates, lol... just seating for guests, wheelchairs... and we'd sell popcorn to supplement the activity team
2017-09-05 05:55:47 PM amccurdy Does the second part of the practicum have to be at a different facility than the first part or is it the same?
2017-09-05 05:55:54 PM lynmyhre slooney...sounds great!
2017-09-05 05:55:58 PM belindapilz right i do something like that now but he wants like weights structure
2017-09-05 05:56:09 PM slooney thanks lyn!
2017-09-05 05:56:16 PM jhirczak We just downsized our exercise from 5 days to 3 and do a stretch at the end of current events.
2017-09-05 05:56:21 PM lynmyhre there are a lot of good videos for senior chair exercises online.
2017-09-05 05:56:26 PM slooney Belinda, I'd think Physical Therapy would have to be involved, right?
2017-09-05 05:56:27 PM kathyhughes Then perhaps he can do the program once to see if the residents like it
2017-09-05 05:56:37 PM nancyathiel enter the chat room
2017-09-05 05:56:39 PM slooney yoga is a great alternative too
2017-09-05 05:56:46 PM maria7293 hello everybody!!
2017-09-05 05:56:53 PM kathyhughes Ashley it is in the same facility
2017-09-05 05:57:01 PM amccurdy Okay that is whatI thought thank you
2017-09-05 05:57:17 PM avjohnson I like that 7th inning stretch I'm going to try that
2017-09-05 05:57:26 PM taylorweitzel97 enter the chat room
2017-09-05 05:57:40 PM kathyhughes And I would check with PT as some of those exercises may be contraindicated for them
2017-09-05 05:57:54 PM lynmyhre We have a yoga teacher come in one time per month. It is a double edged sword...one time per month is not productive by any physical or mental health standards...but it is like an 'entertainment' event. I'd like to do it more. It's expensive. WIsh I'd have time to get certified! hah
2017-09-05 05:58:21 PM nancyathiel HELLO:D

2017-09-05 06:11:26 PM cynkarnes76 It is hard for me to plan ahead since my AD does not post the month's calendar until the day before and he has the handle on whether or not we attend any events in the IL community.
