2017-12-05 07:06:03 PM ebroughton I am thinking about getting a gift card and putting each of my staff names in a jar (10 or so each) and everytime they call off they get a name taken out. Every time they pick up a shift they get an extra name put in. I draw one out the end of the holiday season. Hoping that may help with call offs. Need to check with HR to okay it.

2017-12-05 07:06:44 PM dianej call offs have been such a problem with our CNA's that our company started giving them a $50 bonus when they go two weeks without missing a day.

My mother-in-law who had Alzheimers had broken her hip and the past two months since she broke it were awfully stressful. She passed away on November 21 and we were not able to have her services until last week...
2017-12-05 07:07:34 PM ebroughton Wow thats crazy dinej! I hate feeling like I need to baby my staff and encourage them to work...but at the end of the day its the residents who suffer when we dont have workers

2017-12-05 07:09:40 PM kellyanthony1 Are your facilities fussy about people bringing in baked goods? Only staff can do it this year for the residents.
2017-12-05 07:09:41 PM kathyhughes It can be hard Margaret
2017-12-05 07:09:48 PM camparan87 contact a troop leader

2017-12-05 07:09:59 PM kyoung Anyone have some ideas for activities to do after lunch time? Most of the residents go to sleep right after lunch so I'm having a hard time thinking of programs that they will want to go to instead of napping

2017-12-05 07:10:13 PM amandab music in motion

2017-12-05 07:10:32 PM ebroughton I'm trying to do an Olympics activity in February. Think it would be fun for them since it is a special event that doesn't happen alot. I'm trying to think of ways for healthy competition and activities we could do.
