2017-10-19 06:19:07 PM cynkarnes76 Our facility hosts a huge event for Delaware Hospice called Festival of Trees and I bring residents through to look at the decorated trees and items for sale, the problem is most of my residents do not have access to their money (some do)in healthcare, how do you all handle that?

2017-10-19 06:23:55 PM angelasulli left the chat room
2017-10-19 06:23:55 PM angelasulli enter the chat room
2017-10-19 06:23:56 PM sheliai1 we have stu
2017-10-19 06:23:59 PM asjodin I could recruit at our assisted living....
2017-10-19 06:24:14 PM kathyhughes I sent out a list of jobs once a month to all the community groups that I could contact
2017-10-19 06:24:15 PM ericasouter we have a good group of students from a local college coming in to volunteer
2017-10-19 06:24:18 PM cynkarnes76 I spent a substancial amount of time and energy reeling them in and getting them to do hands on instead of hanging out in a corner and talking amongst themselves or sleeping
2017-10-19 06:24:24 PM asjodin good idea
2017-10-19 06:24:24 PM siadufour I wish I did...I went to a training because my supervisor wanted me to start this amazing memory care art program but I need volunteers that are at least seniors in high school. I finally found a group willing to volunteer for it but they were college students and none of their schedules lined up...I still havent been able to start the program...
2017-10-19 06:24:25 PM julia46135 I don't have much consistancy with resident volunteers.
2017-10-19 06:24:32 PM kathyhughes But you have to have specific jobs that they can do
2017-10-19 06:24:45 PM asjodin Ok good idea
2017-10-19 06:24:51 PM ericasouter Also, independent residents are also great volunteers
2017-10-19 06:25:29 PM 8800971 I CALL THEM BACK I SHOW THEM THE FACILITY WE TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT TO DO OR WHAT IM THINKING AND THEN I NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN
2017-10-19 06:25:29 PM shirleym agreed erica
2017-10-19 06:25:30 PM nikiawyche my personal care residents send my vlounteers bday cards they love it and holiday cards
2017-10-19 06:25:34 PM kathyhughes I even sent the list to HR departments in the local companies
2017-10-19 06:25:46 PM jamiebernard Yes, and recoginizing them often is a good way to keep them
2017-10-19 06:25:51 PM kathyhughes Right
2017-10-19 06:25:56 PM asjodin We currently do not have a policy for volunteers nor do we have a coordinator for volunteers...so good thing this is one of our midterm practicals!
2017-10-19 06:25:59 PM kathyhughes we sent them something once a month
2017-10-19 06:26:13 PM nikiawyche we are the coordinator most of the time lol
2017-10-19 06:26:14 PM jamiebernard wow did u have a budget for that kathy?
2017-10-19 06:26:53 PM kathyhughes I had a group of residents who were always looking for something to do so they made cards and we had lots of cards
2017-10-19 06:27:05 PM asjodin lol
2017-10-19 06:27:06 PM nikiawyche I coupon so when I find great deal I give them to the volunteers
2017-10-19 06:27:13 PM valei5 we have volunteers coming in November to assist us with the
2017-10-19 06:27:37 PM kathyhughes They were cheap little things like a packet of forget me not flower seeds with a note
2017-10-19 06:27:49 PM valei5 harvest ball , they help dress the residents, set tables and decorate.
2017-10-19 06:27:50 PM cynkarnes76 Currently we have 2 of our AL residents that come 1x a week (Wednesday Sing a long and Friday: Name that Tune with MT) and play the piano.
2017-10-19 06:28:06 PM jamiebernard ohh i love that kathy.. good idea
2017-10-19 06:28:22 PM julia46135 One of my IL residents takes her puppy around to visit other residents.
2017-10-19 06:28:34 PM kathyhughes Each month we would send them a card with a little item in them and we saved money as we did not need a Volunteer Recognition luncheon or dinner
2017-10-19 06:28:46 PM asjodin it's the thought. We have 3 dedicated volunteers and during volunteer month we gave them donuts and it had a tag on it the said "we do-nut what we would do without you"
2017-10-19 06:28:49 PM melissajdikken Our residents really enjoying having our volunteers, our church ladys who help transport for church services. I have a gal that comes to do hair in the morings a couple times a week plus fold towels and visit. and a few others that help for events.
2017-10-19 06:28:50 PM shirleym that's a great idea kathy

2017-10-19 06:29:17 PM jamiebernard ah i like the donut idea
2017-10-19 06:29:20 PM nikiawyche I started their holiday bag and everytime I find a free item I place it in their bag
2017-10-19 06:29:37 PM kathyhughes we also had volunteer name tags for the residents that volunteered
2017-10-19 06:29:37 PM angelasulli i give them a gift basket/bag twice a year
2017-10-19 06:29:38 PM shirleym nice nikia!
2017-10-19 06:29:56 PM sheliai1 We have an AL resident that does pet visits every Friday
2017-10-19 06:29:56 PM siadufour As a volunteer I would definitely appreciate any sort of food haha...doughnuts...cookies..nothing expensive
2017-10-19 06:30:12 PM cynkarnes76 One of our challenges with our student volunteers (and will not change) is they are not allowed to be alone with the residents and this includes taking them outside for fresh air (our Nursing staff gets confused by this).
2017-10-19 06:30:26 PM jrothermel85 we give gift cards to our volunteers especially the regulars that are consistant
2017-10-19 06:31:00 PM kathyhughes We used a lot of homeschoolers as volunteers as well
2017-10-19 06:31:06 PM asjodin great idea
2017-10-19 06:31:14 PM nikiawyche cynthia use the volunteers as a group fashion show bingo callers etc
2017-10-19 06:31:22 PM kathyhughes they would make trivia tents once a month for the dining room tables
2017-10-19 06:31:24 PM asjodin I just need to get the message out there!
2017-10-19 06:31:25 PM valei5 most of our volunteers are from independent/retirement living, and we have a lucneon for them to show our appreciation for their time.
2017-10-19 06:31:27 PM ericasouter I want to have more intergenerational programs
2017-10-19 06:31:27 PM melissajdikken I am trying to get a couple of our residents to help with activities.....still working on it.....lol
2017-10-19 06:31:30 PM angelasulli boys and girls club visits us twice a month
2017-10-19 06:32:18 PM melissajdikken asjodin, does your facilitiy have a website or facebook? Maybe it can be put on there?
2017-10-19 06:32:26 PM asjodin that's a good idea
2017-10-19 06:32:35 PM kathyhughes Also think in terms of having your residents volunteer for the churches by making things for them
2017-10-19 06:32:42 PM nikiawyche I just started a buddy after dinner program they visit the residents in their room and play a small card game with them or have a glass of tea and chat or do a crossword puzzle
2017-10-19 06:32:46 PM lindsaylu85 I have a kid that needs to do community service. goodd kid bad choice. but the locate juvinille courts are happy to send kids to me. and they try to only send me good kids that just made a mild bad decicion
2017-10-19 06:33:00 PM sheliai1 Our student volunteers are allowed to work one on one with the residents alone
2017-10-19 06:33:21 PM kathyhughes We would make decorations for their Vacation Bible Study
2017-10-19 06:33:39 PM ericasouter I love the idea of making things for vacation bible study
2017-10-19 06:33:50 PM kathyhughes and we made fleece blankets for seniors in the hospital during the holidays
2017-10-19 06:33:52 PM nikiawyche good kids that make bad choice I use them to send greeting cards make table tent trivia all things that they can do outside of the building and bring to me
2017-10-19 06:33:59 PM kathyhughes we used money from marketing for that
2017-10-19 06:34:20 PM julia46135 I like the blanket idea!
2017-10-19 06:34:26 PM nikiawyche yes marketing is very happy to help it helps to get their name out in the community
2017-10-19 06:34:27 PM jamiebernard nice
2017-10-19 06:34:36 PM kathyhughes We made sure that we had lables on the blankets

2017-10-19 06:36:25 PM kathyhughes They would make them on their own I contacted the homeschooler groups with ideas for them and samples
2017-10-19 06:36:27 PM cynkarnes76 I love the ideas, wish I was more organized and talented like you all on here.
2017-10-19 06:36:28 PM asjodin My DON had a good idea of Coffee with a Cop

2017-10-19 06:36:37 PM nikiawyche volunteers who made bad choice I also used them to cut things for craft projects for me
