2018-02-01 07:03:33 PM cynkarnes76 Prymyc, you aren't the only one, but I have accepted it as the culture of my organization
2018-02-01 07:03:41 PM kathyhughes As it is National Nursing Home Week, all staff should be encouraged to participate
2018-02-01 07:03:41 PM lovelyrobin enter the chat room
2018-02-01 07:03:44 PM dhopkins If our staff knows they get to go somewhere they're all in !
2018-02-01 07:03:57 PM prymyc yes I think it is the culture in alot of facilities
2018-02-01 07:03:59 PM lovelyrobin hi all
2018-02-01 07:04:24 PM kathryn1 left the chat room
2018-02-01 07:04:31 PM kathyhughes First does anyone know the theme for it?
2018-02-01 07:04:47 PM prymyc I dont
2018-02-01 07:05:13 PM ashleyam9438 Were in the middle of trying to figure out a field da- Have different raffles going on throughout the day to keep the employees excited!
2018-02-01 07:05:19 PM melodyh me neither
2018-02-01 07:05:28 PM kathyhughes Celebrating Life's Stories
2018-02-01 07:05:47 PM lovelyrobin I love national nursinghome week! Contests, prizes, food!!! It's a tiring but fun week!
2018-02-01 07:06:13 PM prymyc interesting theme
2018-02-01 07:06:27 PM kathyhughes Robin how do you get staff involved in it
2018-02-01 07:06:45 PM kathyhughes I love the theme and would be all in about stories
2018-02-01 07:07:08 PM lovelyrobin Wheelchair races, hoolahoop contests, limbo, food oh and did i mention food! lol We are non stop that week!
2018-02-01 07:07:09 PM christinadepolo sounds like a theme residents and staff would enjoy
2018-02-01 07:08:01 PM prymyc I love to hear the life stories of my residents and the other staff in the facility
2018-02-01 07:08:03 PM kathyhughes What can we do with the official theme??
2018-02-01 07:08:05 PM christinadepolo staff and residents can share stories about themselves they would like to share, great way of connecting
2018-02-01 07:08:07 PM cynkarnes76 Weird question: Does national nursing home week also apply to Retirement life communities (that have IL, AL, memory and healthcare). I assumed it did but just wondered.
2018-02-01 07:08:09 PM prymyc mostly my residents though
2018-02-01 07:08:19 PM prymyc thats my favorite part of my job
2018-02-01 07:08:39 PM kathyhughes There is Assisted Living week and Day care week
2018-02-01 07:09:06 PM kathyhughes How can we get staff to participate in getting stories from the residents?
2018-02-01 07:09:08 PM lovelyrobin Staff wear different colors each day or different outfits if themed. We have overhead bingo, and scavenger hunts or we hav a theme for the week with a big picnic or party at the end of the week.
2018-02-01 07:09:21 PM cynkarnes76 Would love to showcase or resident's lives, with their permission of course, either as a slideshow or someone telling a story of their life or the resident themselves telling a story
2018-02-01 07:09:31 PM prymyc I would like to have each staff member pick a resident and learn all about that resident
2018-02-01 07:09:41 PM prymyc their life story, what they like, who they are
2018-02-01 07:10:08 PM kathyhughes How about a different topic each day for staff to find out about the resident?
2018-02-01 07:10:09 PM prymyc maybe have them choose that person for the week. Do different things
2018-02-01 07:10:09 PM lovelyrobin We have a newsletter that features one resident per month in the spotlight. The residents and staff love it.
2018-02-01 07:10:11 PM cynkarnes76 What about a discussion group?
2018-02-01 07:10:14 PM jadams69 We have a week of celebration with each day being something for staff to dress up with and have snacks
2018-02-01 07:10:32 PM ashleyam9438 thats a fun idea kathy! like a scavanger hunt of some kind
2018-02-01 07:10:36 PM prymyc like a wheel chair decorating contest that has something to do with their life story
2018-02-01 07:10:37 PM kathyhughes Yes
2018-02-01 07:10:44 PM christinadepolo work the theme in reminiscing group
2018-02-01 07:10:49 PM prymyc good idea Kathy
2018-02-01 07:10:52 PM lovelyrobin That sounds fun to me.
2018-02-01 07:10:57 PM kathyhughes and at the end it can all be typed up and given to the staff and residents
2018-02-01 07:10:58 PM jadams69 we have 50s day, country day, sports day, pajama day, cartoon character day
2018-02-01 07:11:41 PM lovelyrobin Get to know your residents day. Cool!
2018-02-01 07:11:51 PM kathyhughes The first day could be.......Find out from a resident what was their most memorable moment for the holidays
2018-02-01 07:11:56 PM cynkarnes76 I would love to showcase our resident's art too
2018-02-01 07:11:57 PM prymyc we could have prizes for the wheel chair decorating
2018-02-01 07:12:13 PM kathyhughes The resident answered and then the staff could write something as well
2018-02-01 07:12:54 PM lovelyrobin We did that cykarnes. We have a display board and I decorated it with their artwork and called it Artists Among Us
2018-02-01 07:13:03 PM kathyhughes The second day could be what did you want to be in 3rd grade and why?
2018-02-01 07:13:27 PM nikiawyche enter the chat room
2018-02-01 07:14:04 PM kathyhughes What would we ask on the third day?
2018-02-01 07:14:10 PM cynkarnes76 The challenging part is that I wish my AD was as enthusiastic and supportive of these events as all of you
2018-02-01 07:14:25 PM prymyc these ideas make me excited for nursing home week
2018-02-01 07:14:52 PM kathyhughes So what can we ask to share our life stories?
2018-02-01 07:14:54 PM lovelyrobin Mine is only if its cheap. Thank God for home health companies at that time of year.
2018-02-01 07:15:05 PM kathryn1 enter the chat room
2018-02-01 07:15:10 PM ashleyam9438 i love asking residents how they met their loved ones
2018-02-01 07:15:16 PM ashleyam9438 mayboe something with that?
2018-02-01 07:15:38 PM kathyhughes Good question.....How did you meet the love of your life?
2018-02-01 07:15:58 PM lovelyrobin What was their first car?
2018-02-01 07:16:00 PM kathyhughes What else can we share with staff and residents
2018-02-01 07:16:09 PM prymyc At my memory group we talk about first cars, jobs, houses,
2018-02-01 07:16:16 PM prymyc we talk about what they did for a living
2018-02-01 07:16:23 PM kathyhughes What was your first car and what did you like about it?
2018-02-01 07:16:23 PM cynkarnes76 If I get organized enough, I might be able to carry that theme with some of my activites and would love to pull in my student volunteers to share too
2018-02-01 07:16:43 PM prymyc their favorite pet and why they were a favorite
2018-02-01 07:16:54 PM kathyhughes Good questions
2018-02-01 07:16:56 PM nikiawyche you can also ask about favorite vacation
2018-02-01 07:17:51 PM prymyc I like the idea of getting to know the residents on a level other than how much care they need
2018-02-01 07:18:20 PM kathyhughes We can then make a worksheet for each day....half for the residents memories and half for the staff
2018-02-01 07:18:23 PM prymyc I think it helps to make the staff see that these people are still people and they had a whole life before this
2018-02-01 07:18:48 PM cynkarnes76 May 13 to the 19th is National Nursing home week, right after nurses week

2018-02-01 07:19:26 PM lovelyrobin Get the residents that are able to have someone bring in old pics and they can guess who they are. We have done that with the staff and it went over really well.
2018-02-01 07:19:27 PM kathyhughes And let them all know that it will be published as "Life Stories from xyz nursing home

2018-02-01 07:19:30 PM melodyh My favorite are the couples in my memory care. Sometimes its sad cause they can't be in the same room. cause they dont remeber each other all the time. :(

2018-02-01 07:20:19 PM kathyhughes Ask families to bring in pictures of the residents to match the theme so you can put them in there too
2018-02-01 07:20:35 PM christinadepolo have family members bring in photos of residents ie as child, wedding photos, vacations etc and share stories regarding photos
2018-02-01 07:20:43 PM christinadepolo lol same idea
2018-02-01 07:20:54 PM lovelyrobin Awesome!
2018-02-01 07:20:57 PM melodyh My families would do that.
2018-02-01 07:21:22 PM lovelyrobin Alot of families would. It just takes a Director that will take the time to call them.
2018-02-01 07:21:28 PM kathyhughes You can then have a snapshot of the week to remember the residents and staff that were there that week
2018-02-01 07:21:39 PM lovelyrobin The family members love getting involved.

2018-02-01 07:22:25 PM cynkarnes76 I support what you said lovelyrobin, I just don't have the time and if I did I would fall in the the Activity Trap (doing unpaid work at home)
2018-02-01 07:22:34 PM kathyhughes You can still have all the other stuff if you want, but I always kept it extremely simple
2018-02-01 07:23:01 PM melodyh I have a glass case to put pictuers in. great idea Kathy
2018-02-01 07:23:43 PM prymyc im so excited to start planning now
2018-02-01 07:23:46 PM kathyhughes You could mail a flyer to families asking them to participate....and have a party at the end to share stories

2018-02-01 07:35:31 PM jadams69 mine like to eat
2018-02-01 07:35:33 PM prymyc to help them get in the habit of bringing people to activities
2018-02-01 07:35:39 PM prymyc the hall that brings the most residents to the most activities
2018-02-01 07:35:41 PM cynkarnes76 At my facility, if it comes from our executive director and is supported by our DON, it will happen
2018-02-01 07:35:41 PM kathyhughes When you invite the weather man you usually get the press!
2018-02-01 07:35:43 PM prymyc I buy them lunch

2018-02-01 07:36:38 PM melodyh I started a gift card give away by seeing who can log the most residents for activities in a month
2018-02-01 07:36:48 PM jadams69 we have a mystery resident - whoever brings them down to activities gets a gift basket. It encourages staff to bet all residents to activites. we do it about 1-2 times a week.
