2017-11-02 07:00:44 PM nikiawyche new ideas can take time to get off the ground but if you have the cards and you just need them to sign them that is cool

2017-11-07 06:07:30 PM sdube hello
2017-11-07 06:07:52 PM triciag Hi ya'll!
2017-11-07 06:07:59 PM geriestes Hi
2017-11-07 06:08:23 PM ebroughton Is anyone planning for Christmas yet? I feel like as an activity director we are always living in the next holiday!
2017-11-07 06:08:45 PM sdube we have been planning our holiday bizzar since july
2017-11-07 06:08:53 PM sdube bazzar
2017-11-07 06:09:00 PM theresas1014 Oh yes! Even though where I work Christmas is planned and I cam currently working on February's calendar.
2017-11-07 06:10:19 PM geriestes I am not an activites director ,I am taking this course to be one
2017-11-07 06:10:38 PM triciag We have too! Were starting our christmas choir program! Residents have presentation every year singing beautifully!
2017-11-07 06:11:26 PM theresas1014 We had choir practice earlier tonight! I think singing is a universal thing that so many residents enjoy! Even more so around the holidays
2017-11-07 06:11:53 PM geriestes left the chat room
2017-11-07 06:12:01 PM triciag Were going to be practicing every week. Theres a lady that volunteers to lead the program and she plays the piano too. We also are planning a Christmas Wreath contest for our staff!
2017-11-07 06:12:05 PM ebroughton I just bought a bulk amount of blank cards. Since a lot of my resident are on secure units they love writing to their families. We are going to decorate christmas cards and send them out
2017-11-07 06:12:39 PM theresas1014 sounds like fun!
2017-11-07 06:12:44 PM ebroughton We are doing Christmas Wreaths too! But for our residents. We are going to make a whiole party out of it.
2017-11-07 06:12:56 PM sdube that sounds fun~
2017-11-07 06:13:18 PM peg61 What type of Thanksgiving activities work best for dementia residents?
2017-11-07 06:13:22 PM ebroughton ...Not a lot of people in the chat tonight ({)
2017-11-07 06:13:26 PM triciag Definitely! They have been asking about it since the start of october. It also is exciting for families!
2017-11-07 06:13:27 PM theresas1014 Oh that's nice! Do they have doors they can hang them on? We do one for each season so they have something nice on their door.
2017-11-07 06:14:15 PM triciag Our Memory care
2017-11-07 06:14:17 PM ebroughton I like the one for each season. It is amazing how something so small can liven up a place
2017-11-07 06:14:32 PM triciag unit residents enjoy coloring so we decorate their acts room
2017-11-07 06:14:43 PM theresas1014 Peg- how involved are the families? We hold a special meal and invite families. We watch the Macy's parade for a bit, and a craft.
2017-11-07 06:15:55 PM theresas1014 Peg- our memory care residents love to cook, the day after thanksgiving we do a "leftover cassarole" and make it together.
2017-11-07 06:16:42 PM ebroughton I really like that leftover idea. Do you have issues with staffing around the holidays?
2017-11-07 06:17:01 PM peg61 I am new at this, just started interning. Theresa: The parade ideas sounds great! I will ask my supervisor if that is something the residents and families do together. The casserole idea is lovely. Thanks!
2017-11-07 06:17:22 PM amandab enter the chat room
2017-11-07 06:17:38 PM theresas1014 We have two staff members 8:30am to 8PM seven days a week, everyday of the year including holidays. Staff take turns working holidays
2017-11-07 06:17:54 PM sdube i am working thanksgiving christmas day and new years day this year...
2017-11-07 06:17:54 PM triciag I think baking cookies especially pumpkin pie flavor is also good for memory residents. They can decorate the cookies with sprinkles and icing
2017-11-07 06:18:01 PM sdube so no problem with staffing ... lol
2017-11-07 06:18:04 PM triciag for thanksgiving!
2017-11-07 06:18:39 PM peg61 As I just started interning this week, not sure what staffing looks like around the holidays, but I will be volunteering to cover for any staff member who wants/needs time off...
2017-11-07 06:19:00 PM theresas1014 Nope! We have 5 activities assistants in personal care alone. More at Skilled. I am in charge of Independent living.
2017-11-07 06:19:15 PM triciag theresas- the casserole idea was good! I might do that with our residents!
2017-11-07 06:20:01 PM amandab hello everyone, sorry I'm late I had some issues logging on. what are we talking about
2017-11-07 06:20:23 PM ebroughton Just chatting about the upcoming holidays. Any good ideas?
2017-11-07 06:20:25 PM theresas1014 The cassarole it great! You put a layer of stuffing, layer of mashed potatoes, layer of turkey, thing layer of cranberry sauce. Top with another layer of stuffing. Serve with gravey.
2017-11-07 06:20:53 PM theresas1014 Bake at 350 till top layer of stuffing is crispy and cassarole is warm all the way through
2017-11-07 06:20:53 PM brinyanny enter the chat room
2017-11-07 06:21:19 PM sdube :) that sounds delicious
2017-11-07 06:21:36 PM peg61 One Thanksgiving craft I wanted to try is table turkeys. They look fairly simple to make and include putting simple messages of thanksgiving on the turkey tail feathers. Maybe as residents and family members get together for our Thanksgiving meal, each person can add their message of gratefulness...?
2017-11-07 06:21:36 PM brinyanny Hello everyone
2017-11-07 06:22:30 PM triciag That sounds very delish! We ca do that for our cooking class for our skilled residents too!
2017-11-07 06:22:50 PM theresas1014 For Christmas we have planned: Carol Sing Along, Gingerbread decorating, hot fudge sundaes, White Christmas (movie), making ornaments, decorating, holiday bingo and a service project
2017-11-07 06:22:52 PM amandab Elvis!! I have found a local Elvis to come and sing and dance!! the residents are super excited about it.
2017-11-07 06:23:16 PM ebroughton Elvis! Haha that is great. My residents would love that.
2017-11-07 06:23:32 PM peg61 Theresa: What type of service project?
2017-11-07 06:23:42 PM theresas1014 I highly recommend gingerbread decorating, great for memory care! Our kitchen cooks it fresh and after decorating we eat it. Elvis is always a hit. My residents love music.
2017-11-07 06:23:51 PM theresas1014 We do a service project once a month.
2017-11-07 06:24:00 PM amandab ^^?
2017-11-07 06:24:01 PM triciag whats the service project?
2017-11-07 06:24:06 PM theresas1014 For november we made no sew scarves and hats
2017-11-07 06:24:28 PM amandab oh thats neat, do you make them for the community or for the residents
2017-11-07 06:24:38 PM theresas1014 for december we adopted two familes from a local shelter, got their wishlists, we are collecting the items and then having a party to wrap them
2017-11-07 06:24:58 PM theresas1014 We make them for the homeless shelter, we have also made no sew blankets
2017-11-07 06:25:16 PM peg61 How are no sew scarves and hats made? Sounds great!
2017-11-07 06:25:20 PM amandab What a great idea.
2017-11-07 06:25:23 PM theresas1014 we have also baked cookies and delivered them to local police officers
2017-11-07 06:25:33 PM brinyanny Off course, we make for thanksgivig a big turkey and the members trace their hand prints with their name
2017-11-07 06:26:49 PM theresas1014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeChj7LLhdc
2017-11-07 06:26:58 PM theresas1014 Thats the link for the hat directions
2017-11-07 06:26:59 PM peg61 The service projects are a wonderful idea; it keeps residents connected to the local communities and assists those less fortunate and acknowledges those who keep us safe!
2017-11-07 06:27:19 PM virginia enter the chat room
2017-11-07 06:27:19 PM peg61 Theresa: Roger that!
2017-11-07 06:27:50 PM theresas1014 my residents really enjoy the service, makes them feel helpful. We have also made a cassarole as a group and delivered it to a staff member in need as a thank you.
2017-11-07 06:28:03 PM triciag We have not tried the service project but that sounds neat!

2017-11-07 06:29:02 PM peg61 Theresa: You have given me some great ideas as a "newbie," and if it is ok with you, I would like to run them by my supervisor.
2017-11-07 06:29:20 PM theresas1014 go right ahead. We are here to help each other
2017-11-07 06:29:31 PM ebroughton I have some residents who do individual projects such as crotcheting hats for kids. But I like the idea of a whole project.
2017-11-07 06:30:24 PM theresas1014 for this month we collected items for a family. I bought some Santa hats for them to wear while wrapping the gifts and some workers from the shelter are brings snacks and drinks to throw a thsank you party.
2017-11-07 06:30:34 PM kathyhughes Hello All! Welcome to all the new students!
2017-11-07 06:30:47 PM peg61 Hi, Kathy!
2017-11-07 06:30:51 PM sdube hello
2017-11-07 06:30:53 PM amandab does any one work in a facility that is 95% dementia or Alzheimers residents?
2017-11-07 06:30:56 PM theresas1014 hello!
2017-11-07 06:30:57 PM triciag Hello, Ms.Kathy!
2017-11-07 06:31:08 PM kathyhughes How are you all doing?
2017-11-07 06:31:26 PM peg61 Great! Some nice idea exchanges!
2017-11-07 06:31:27 PM brinyanny Hello!!!
2017-11-07 06:31:35 PM amandab Hello Kathy!! Great how about you?
2017-11-07 06:31:36 PM ebroughton Wow 95% is a high rate. I have 3 units that are dementia/alzheimers, but that is probably closer to 60%
2017-11-07 06:31:53 PM kathyhughes I am doing great!
2017-11-07 06:31:55 PM triciag We have a seperate unit for our dementia patients!
2017-11-07 06:32:10 PM theresas1014 Peg- did you say you taught theatre?
2017-11-07 06:32:13 PM triciag Memory Care unit, I mean!
2017-11-07 06:32:14 PM amandab yeah it is the only facility in a large area that will accept residents like ours

2017-11-07 06:32:50 PM peg61 Theresa: Yes! I taught theatre and plan to infuse some simple theatre into activities!
2017-11-07 06:32:53 PM kathyhughes so sorry
2017-11-07 06:33:13 PM kathryn1 enter the chat room
2017-11-07 06:33:45 PM theresas1014 Peg: I have a bachelor degree in theatre (I also have one in human development)! I am starting a readers theatre for the residents in January but would love to incorporate theatre more.
2017-11-07 06:34:14 PM amandab activity for us is tough sometimes coming up with things that can be adapted to suit them but can be done with lots of new ides. so im excited about this chat
2017-11-07 06:34:24 PM kathryn1 Greetings everyone!
2017-11-07 06:34:30 PM triciag How do you do the reader's theater?
2017-11-07 06:34:42 PM amandab Hope your little one feels better.
2017-11-07 06:35:23 PM sdube thank you! she was sick 18 day sout of october andnow she is sick again... never ending!
2017-11-07 06:35:40 PM peg61 Theresa: Wow! I am all in! Perhaps some simple theatre reading where the activities assistants and I can read aloud, as "characters," and dress in simple costumes?
2017-11-07 06:35:49 PM tknox23508 enter the chat room
2017-11-07 06:36:03 PM amandab thats another great idea ^
2017-11-07 06:36:28 PM theresas1014 We purchase scripts and they sit together as a group, each one taking a role and reading it out loud. Some they practice more and "perform" for other residents. You can get just short story ones. They just enjoy reading together and hearing the story. We have a sister facility where they have done "lip Sync" and other improv performance. I would love to do that one day but my residents aren;t there yet
2017-11-07 06:36:34 PM kathryn1 Is it required to take a flu shot if you work in a Skilled Nursing Facility?
2017-11-07 06:36:51 PM ebroughton No it is not, but some places have different policies
2017-11-07 06:37:06 PM triciag My facility offers the flu shot but you can sign a waiver if you do not want it!
2017-11-07 06:37:12 PM theresas1014 In my facility a flu shot is required for all care levels staff
2017-11-07 06:37:29 PM theresas1014 It is considered mandatory unless proven allergy
2017-11-07 06:37:42 PM sdube every month we have a theme... for example last month was ancient egypt... the last thursday of each month a theater group comes in and does a skit or sings .. they make up something about what our month theme is
2017-11-07 06:37:47 PM amandab its is required at our facility its wither the flu shot or a mask from june
2017-11-07 06:37:49 PM kathyhughes Kathryn it depends on your facilities policies but many require a flu shot
2017-11-07 06:37:53 PM amandab -feb
2017-11-07 06:37:53 PM ebroughton It is not mandatory at my facility, but recommended. I got it a few weeks ago
2017-11-07 06:38:30 PM kathryn1 I have a choice to wear a mass and I have chosen to do that.
2017-11-07 06:38:35 PM theresas1014 we have several theatre groups that come, and I take them to a play locally at least once a month, but I would love to get them on their feet and more involved in acting themselves

2017-11-07 06:39:21 PM kathryn1 Hello!
2017-11-07 06:39:25 PM peg61 Theresa: My residents may not be able to do the reading on their own. However, I will work on ways that they can partake in the theatre readings. Perhaps assist with costumes, props and make up? Maybe choose some music as the "audience" settles in and exits?
2017-11-07 06:39:30 PM ebroughton Kathryn, can I ask why you have chosen that? Not being rude, I have heard several different reasons from other people. Just curious
2017-11-07 06:40:10 PM theresas1014 I like the idea of costumes and props, even if it is just a hat or scarf, just adds to the fun

2017-11-07 06:41:35 PM kathryn1 I have a problem with needles, beside several residents have taken the flu shot, got vvery ill after.
2017-11-07 06:41:59 PM peg61 Theresa: I plan to reach out to local high schools and ask students who are involved in the school drama programs to visit us and perform - just simple, short, engaging... Also, some interactive theatre activities...

2017-11-07 06:42:08 PM kathyhughes I had a student that used props and costumes for their Kareoke sing a long and the residents enjoyed it
2017-11-07 06:42:15 PM theresas1014 we had the flu go around our facility 2 years ago, it was awful. Almost all the staff had it too
