2018-02-20 07:23:45 PM jpocorello001 never had any men do their nails yet
2018-02-20 07:23:45 PM jas1982 we get to wear jeans on friday all year long and dont have to pay so sadly the pay to wear jeans wouldnt work for us
2018-02-20 07:23:49 PM ren a raffle, everyone loves a good raffle
2018-02-20 07:23:50 PM kathyhughes Theresa I would include it in his care plan
2018-02-20 07:23:51 PM arperez yes sylmat6
2018-02-20 07:23:57 PM lisai all that sounds good, but where do you get the fudning to do it, or is it donations
2018-02-20 07:24:01 PM feleciap18 where they use purple money they win in bingo
2018-02-20 07:24:04 PM amandab these are great ideas fro fundraisers but our facility doesnt permit us to raise funds for activities....
2018-02-20 07:24:08 PM sallyadkins care plan..good idea
2018-02-20 07:24:15 PM tfrost83 if thats what he wants he has the right to choose
2018-02-20 07:24:15 PM rickyd Brain storming with the residents really went well for us, and lot of good ideas and great feedback on what's working and what's not with them.
2018-02-20 07:24:16 PM rachelwalbridge when in doubt careplan lol
2018-02-20 07:24:17 PM mariebarboza kathy, what do think we should do if a male asked to paint their nails in red?
2018-02-20 07:24:21 PM jeri care plan that he wants his nails painted and if he has a poa make sure it is ok with them. That is what I was told if a man wanted his nails painted anyting but clear
2018-02-20 07:24:23 PM dmartin I ask the residents to try it one time if they do not like it and want to leave they can but just try it one time
2018-02-20 07:24:25 PM debw23 some residents prefer activities in their roooms so i cater to their in room activitues
2018-02-20 07:24:27 PM monikadover I want our staff to bring in some nice items/gifts and we will aution the things with fake money
2018-02-20 07:24:28 PM mandy our facility only allows aides to do manicures :(

2018-02-20 07:24:52 PM scarvalho09 when i do a raffle most items are donated :) ask the staff make sign up sheets get everyone involved!!
2018-02-20 07:24:53 PM cbockis really? fundraisers are a great way for residents to contribute and feel purpose by helping out. sorry to hear you cant. we do many and it empowers them
2018-02-20 07:24:59 PM theresas1014 Kathy good idea, I will write it down! He gets very upset if we try and sway him away from pink or red, he is autistic as well so hopefully the state would understand

2018-02-20 07:26:17 PM snutter I find that if residents don't come to the activities I try to incorperate small art projects on our activity cart for other independent activity.
2018-02-20 07:26:17 PM dmartin educating them on the benefits of socialization and participation often does not work although we still use this technique however using the word 1 time seems to help them to not feel so much pressure about attending all the activities or being bothered to attend
2018-02-20 07:26:19 PM scarvalho09 anyone have issues with staffing how many hours do you get in office vs on the unit hands on?
2018-02-20 07:26:21 PM mariebarboza I love Hawaian theme
2018-02-20 07:26:25 PM dcorvin left the chat room
2018-02-20 07:26:26 PM daphaneb Prom in May that sounds fun
