2017-09-19 06:17:33 PM joedavis1 I am greatful for this course. We dont even have a certified activity director in our building. This way I can learn things the right way before taking on a large medicaid activities program and know the right way to do things!
2017-09-19 06:17:37 PM 061778 Do you get your company to pay the monthly or yearly subscriptions to sites like activity connection?
2017-09-19 06:17:38 PM kathyhughes Yes,,,,look at Track 4

2017-09-19 06:18:11 PM constanceg interesting idea...dog treats...did you just find a recipe on Pinterest or some where?
2017-09-19 06:18:12 PM deborahavant you're very welcome.
2017-09-19 06:18:18 PM kathyhughes scroll down in the Forum under the Course Forum
2017-09-19 06:18:58 PM mbolling Is there a specfic care plan for a resident that is in hospice care? I have been looking for one but can't seem to find one.
2017-09-19 06:19:19 PM jcking Our dietary manager makes them for her own dog so we used those recipes. Find some with blueberries or pumpkin in them. beg sellers.
2017-09-19 06:19:19 PM nikki06 i love the MDS cookbook, id highly reccommend it!
2017-09-19 06:19:26 PM kathyhughes I would contact the local Hospice for information....

2017-09-19 06:21:09 PM deborahavant I haven't looked into the formsw with activity connection. My company insists that all their buildings use the same forms and they have chosen Briggs Helathcare. They also have large blank calendars that can be used to make your calendears for the buileding.
