2018-02-27 07:08:36 PM sallyadkins We use activity connection, too! it is work the money. the calendar formats are beautiful! Residents love the Daily Chronicle!
2018-02-27 07:08:37 PM snutter Kathy my advisor is my adminstartor and she recently got fired , I have a new admin can i send new paper work over for the new administartor?
2018-02-27 07:08:37 PM lindsaypkrull Pnterest is a lifesaver
2018-02-27 07:08:44 PM rickyd we also put calendars in each room (for each resident); which sometimes means 3 per room. We also have large calendars on each wings activities bulletin boards. We have never put in the nurse's station, however, I like that idea; maybe it will remind the aides and nurses help get the resident to more of the activities.
2018-02-27 07:08:46 PM jogood noterized ??
2018-02-27 07:08:46 PM marie I get ideas from pintrest for art works
2018-02-27 07:09:00 PM jenniferlfowler There are so many great ideas on Pinterest.. although i have had some pinterest fails... hahahahah
2018-02-27 07:09:01 PM dcorvin i love pintrest too we did abstract paiting last week from pintrest and they turned out great
2018-02-27 07:09:01 PM donnalova2 Our home office wanted us to just do the monthly calendar but we chose to continue with the daily. Our residents depend on it since we do make changes during the month. I have a template so it only takes me a few minutes to do it each day. I can get the week done in less than an hour.
2018-02-27 07:09:03 PM kathyhughes Sorry was helping Ashia,,,
2018-02-27 07:09:06 PM stef1116 today we had a 50's and 60's party with an entertainer and it was so much fun. The residents really enjoyed it.

2018-02-27 07:10:13 PM kstarr What are some sensory activities yall find work for your residents? Have yall tried those sensory bottle things? Have you tried making them with residents?
2018-02-27 07:10:18 PM rickyd I have visit facilities that also do daily calendars, but also do a monthly calendar (for blow up printing) bulletin boards
2018-02-27 07:10:19 PM peg61 Kathy:
2018-02-27 07:10:19 PM joanec it's like telling a story, my residents love it
2018-02-27 07:10:19 PM sallyadkins I was surprised the new facility im in does not want JUMBO calendars in the hallways. each room has a 11x17 calendar, then I post 8-1/2 by 11's at the front desk and nurses station. Works for us:)
2018-02-27 07:10:20 PM marie I engage my residents to come up with ideas for the calendars too
2018-02-27 07:10:23 PM mandy thats fun!
2018-02-27 07:10:34 PM donnalova2 The mid-term does not just the final practimum has to be notorized.
2018-02-27 07:10:47 PM jogood ok ty mandy
2018-02-27 07:10:56 PM kathyhughes Yes Samantha have the new ADM fill out the form and fax it into the office
2018-02-27 07:10:57 PM monikadover that sounds like a good idea to talk with residents about their herritage
2018-02-27 07:11:00 PM sylmat6 During recident council, i ask residents about calander and if they have any ideas
2018-02-27 07:11:03 PM jpocorello001 the resident council is for new ideas
2018-02-27 07:11:04 PM jmarick we do gardening, baby, and matching noises sensory boxes. that is what we like to use

2018-02-27 07:11:20 PM sallyadkins we take the next month's calendar to resident council for their ideas and approval. They love it because they are in charge.
2018-02-27 07:11:22 PM jogood i have a resident born in buddpest
2018-02-27 07:11:22 PM cbockis we are having an election next month
2018-02-27 07:11:27 PM jenniferlfowler I think a calander posted is very important first thing our participants want to know is what is happening for the day! Most ask 'is it BINGO day'!
2018-02-27 07:11:30 PM stef1116 We also did a sensory activity today called birds of a feather. we had different feathers, small eggs, a birds nest, and different feathered birds and we also had bird seed. the residents loved the feathers and really enjoyed sticking their hands in the bird seed
2018-02-27 07:11:35 PM janagreen12 i have done the sensory bottles also

2018-02-27 07:12:06 PM alexysg What does the sensory bottle consist of ???
2018-02-27 07:12:08 PM rickyd sensory that seem to work best for my residents in need are: seek and find, pictures/photos are resident's interest (often obtained from family), tactile objects of items of interest (also info gathered from family/friends).
2018-02-27 07:12:12 PM amymc For week 4 do we fill out the group planning tool for every sensory group activity?

2018-02-27 07:12:31 PM peg61 Kathy: I was recently hired and I have not been able to attend a resident council meeting. There will be one at the end of March. Is that too late for me to submit my practicum for that part? Can I get an extenstion on just that, or is there something I can do in lieu of that? Peg 110717 pnarin@me.com
2018-02-27 07:12:32 PM 12716937 I would love to do the 11X17 calendar for my residents. They always get complaints because of how small it is, even though it is regular size. I will have to look into it.

2018-02-27 07:12:33 PM donnalova2 We have a Short Story Club- Most of our residents have problems with their sight so the book club we were having wasn't working out so know I read to them and then we discuss it . Reader's Digest & Good Housekeeping has some great short stories
