2017-10-17 05:42:14 PM reachleighann We invite all of the families and we have lots of finger foods. A lot of our staff help out and bring homeade dishes! Lots of our residents have great families who help me out wherever they can.
2017-10-17 05:42:16 PM kellyanthony1 that sounds really neat. I like that
2017-10-17 05:42:43 PM kathyhughes It was much easier for all
2017-10-17 05:42:52 PM kellyanthony1 Thats wonderful reach
2017-10-17 05:43:32 PM kellyanthony1 do you ask families to bring something?

2017-10-17 05:44:42 PM kathyhughes Sounds great
2017-10-17 05:44:46 PM kellyanthony1 Oh my gosh that is great
2017-10-17 05:44:54 PM lynmyhre I have a squirrely problem...not sure if anyone has faced this...I came on board after a person who had been there for many years left, and a new person only stayed 3 months. The original long term AD had started a habit of - taking long lists to get people things at WalMart (which requires using personal Credit Card... and later reimbursed). It's not something I will continue and plan to bring it up at tomorrow's Resident Council meeting. I am going to meet with hostility...I feel.
2017-10-17 05:45:29 PM lynmyhre I like cookie exchanges! They are fun. I usually buy my cookies 'cuz I do not cook! hah.
2017-10-17 05:45:40 PM reachleighann eeeeeeeeek! I dealt with something similar!
2017-10-17 05:45:53 PM lynmyhre Ah, I'm not alone.
2017-10-17 05:46:09 PM kellyanthony1 are you suppose to buy the residents things at walmart?\
2017-10-17 05:46:31 PM kellyanthony1 Never heard of it plus would get expensive
2017-10-17 05:46:41 PM sdube Thata a tough one. at our facility we are not allowed to exchange any money with the residents
2017-10-17 05:46:48 PM kellyanthony1 we do secret santa
2017-10-17 05:46:55 PM kathyhughes I would not do that as the interest on your credit card will be extensive
2017-10-17 05:47:08 PM poirierheidi123 enter the chat room
2017-10-17 05:47:18 PM kathyhughes I would take the frequent shoppers to Walmart
2017-10-17 05:47:31 PM sdube we go shopping every monday
2017-10-17 05:47:33 PM tcarswell55 enter the chat room
2017-10-17 05:47:36 PM kathyhughes and order things from another source
2017-10-17 05:47:51 PM sdube one monday we go to walmart the next monday we go to dollar store adn stop adn shop
2017-10-17 05:47:51 PM poirierheidi123 Hey all, Happy Tuesday! What are we discussing tonight?
2017-10-17 05:48:12 PM lynmyhre Plus, one of the people I have is incredibly inappropriate and ungrateful! The stress is killing me! And my hubby is very distressed over the credit card billings ...we have the $ and I know I get reimbursed, but somehow I always seem to lose money and then they complain about every little issues that arises. I never carry a balance, so interest is not an issue for me, but stressing over calculating and then if I can't find something or get the wrong thing it is a major pai
2017-10-17 05:48:30 PM judithdevin i go shopping when needed but i get the money from business office who handles the residents funds
2017-10-17 05:48:35 PM lynmyhre I have NO transportation. That's why the other lady did it...
2017-10-17 05:48:43 PM taram good evening everyone
2017-10-17 05:48:57 PM kellyanthony1 I wouldnt do it then lyn
2017-10-17 05:49:03 PM kellyanthony1 to much stress
2017-10-17 05:49:09 PM kathyhughes The first thing I would do is to call the families
2017-10-17 05:49:15 PM lynmyhre My new plan is to tell them to get Walmart or pre-paid cards with their funds and I'll show them how to order online.
2017-10-17 05:49:23 PM kathyhughes they need to accept some responsibility
2017-10-17 05:49:34 PM kellyanthony1 hi taram!
2017-10-17 05:49:45 PM taram what is the topic tonight
2017-10-17 05:49:47 PM hopemitchell I had a similar problem with residents shopping. I finally had to address it and put my foot down. I was going out almost everyday anytime a resident needed something because the nursing staff would tell them it was my job and they had the resident rights to get what they wanted....
2017-10-17 05:49:50 PM kathyhughes Then I would tell them that they have to have the money in their accounts
2017-10-17 05:49:55 PM taram hi kellysnthony
2017-10-17 05:50:05 PM cassie10 enter the chat room
2017-10-17 05:50:06 PM taram kellyanthony
2017-10-17 05:50:06 PM lynmyhre It initially was started for those without families...then others apparently jumped on board...cuz can't do for those without if we don't do for those with family.
2017-10-17 05:50:09 PM kellyanthony1 what are plans are for Thanksgiving and holidays!

2017-10-17 05:50:32 PM cassie10 Good Evening all :) you guys started early tonight :)
2017-10-17 05:50:38 PM tcarswell55 i though it was social service responsibilty to go shopping for residents

2017-10-17 05:52:02 PM kathyhughes We are sharing ideas for November
2017-10-17 05:52:08 PM kathyhughes and Veterans Day
2017-10-17 05:52:10 PM cassie10 I am looking for ideas for a gentleman for 1:1 he is deaf and also has a developmental disability. Im struggling
2017-10-17 05:52:19 PM lynmyhre If it is a social responsibility to go shopping then I'd think the facility shoudl pay for gas and wear/tear. I don't think ours pays milage anymore.
2017-10-17 05:52:26 PM jadams69 ok cool just in time
2017-10-17 05:52:47 PM cassie10 Great! I also have tried to get a Veterans day ceremony for 6 months now and keep getting told millions of stories and I am feeling helpless :(
2017-10-17 05:52:50 PM poirierheidi123 We have a huge theme meal for our residents and their families in november. Usually the Thursday before Thanksgiving. But it's great to get all the families together.
2017-10-17 05:52:52 PM tcarswell55 my job pays milage but social service does our residents shopping
2017-10-17 05:53:13 PM joyful We are having a turkey shoot. I bought nerf guns and we are going to shoot the turkeys

2017-10-17 05:53:46 PM kellyanthony1 We have te American Legion come in and give all our Veterans a certificate to ththank them for their service
2017-10-17 05:53:50 PM poirierheidi123 joyful that sounds awesome. I might have to use that idea with my residents.
2017-10-17 05:53:54 PM lynmyhre Sorry to get us on this subject...it's just coming up tomorrow and advice is always helpful. I am going to put my foot down. I will go out if they give me cash and if it is convenient. Walmart is 20 miles away one direction...and closer, but slower roads in the other direction.
2017-10-17 05:54:01 PM carrieac17 Hello all
2017-10-17 05:54:08 PM taram we are also going on our first shopping trip to walmart

2017-10-17 05:55:45 PM kathyhughes I may be wrong here but I think that you can order online at Walmart and then pick it up and I would call the manager and explain that you need individual orders and the cost so that you can pick them up
2017-10-17 05:55:52 PM lynmyhre Cassie10- what sensory things have you. If he is hard of hearing or deaf, try visual and tactile stimulation. Videos by MovingArt are awesome! Netflix carries some and you can order them online.
2017-10-17 05:55:58 PM tcarswell55 can you use coloring crayons
2017-10-17 05:55:59 PM taram that sounds fun carrie

2017-10-17 05:58:26 PM cassie10 for candy we put a box up front of our entrance and put a sign for donations (this is what they have done in the past)
2017-10-17 05:58:28 PM 061778 Hello everyone
2017-10-17 05:58:31 PM sdube we have ambassadors at our facility so they organize it

2017-10-17 05:58:37 PM 061778 I had a rough day at work!!
2017-10-17 05:58:42 PM lynmyhre I might suggest that Kathyhughes...it might be a happy medium. They put in their order and I can stop by at my convenience when I'm in town to pick it up. Hmmm. Great suggestion for orders not big enough to qualify for free shipping.

2017-10-17 06:03:37 PM hopemitchell We had a gentleman from the community come and speak to our veterans today about sending them to Washington DC on an Honor flight and

2017-10-17 06:03:59 PM tcarswell55 our staff adopt resident without family
2017-10-17 06:04:00 PM sdube and a lot of other things
