2018-03-06 07:25:42 PM sunshine2018 we have a monthly calendar that we print and place in each of our residents rooms.
2018-03-06 07:25:43 PM doreenschaffer The former AP was there 30 years. I instantly starting cleaning out and taking inventory. We need so much to get caught up to 2018. My first wish list item (other than another staff member and ipads) is a visual simulator (can't think of the real name). I have residents who have not seen the outside of the bulding since they started. It would be nice to simulate walking in the woods.

2018-03-06 07:36:30 PM michelelamare It can be challenging. I am a new Activity Director and introducing new activities can be a challenge, but I love it when they just give something a chance and they find it can be fun. I sometimes have issues with the staff when I try something new.

2018-03-06 07:38:08 PM daphaneb wow its battle with staff helping with activities for sure
2018-03-06 07:38:12 PM lauraj My company makes a big deal out of having the care staff help with activities, but I think they hide in empty rooms when they're not busy
2018-03-06 07:38:13 PM jas1982 Nursing home week is celebreating life stories so i was thinking about traveling through the eras they lived, having activities that were popular during the diffrent eras like the 1920 and food also
2018-03-06 07:38:17 PM nicoled my manager on the floor started to give out warnings and are now helping more with beauty activites as a cluster
2018-03-06 07:38:18 PM sfaria Same here Nancy, it's almost impossible
2018-03-06 07:38:18 PM monikadover CNAs rather answer call lights than bringing the residents to us
2018-03-06 07:38:20 PM kathyhughes National Nursing Home week

2018-03-06 07:38:50 PM lisaad For nursing home week, each department in our facility has a day that they are responsible for programming--it's great how creative some of the other depts are!
2018-03-06 07:38:52 PM cdyoung1205 my CNA's dont help because they are mad that I got the promation
2018-03-06 07:38:55 PM daphaneb that'sno team work

2018-03-06 07:38:56 PM jas1982 we have troublel with CNAs they dont help bring them to activities
2018-03-06 07:39:02 PM jogood why do ppl apply to care if they really don't ???
2018-03-06 07:39:12 PM kathyhughes I would start a journal for each day the residents and staff have to answer a question about their lives. Then the next Monday everyone gets a copy
2018-03-06 07:39:13 PM monikadover that is their problem
2018-03-06 07:39:15 PM nicoled right jo thats the worst
2018-03-06 07:39:16 PM cdyoung1205 right jogood
2018-03-06 07:39:17 PM dcorvin i have them come in once a week on certaind
2018-03-06 07:39:19 PM michelelamare I'm introducinng a banquet dinner night once/week and the staff is being a bit stubborn about bringing residents to the dining room. They always want to get them to bed way too early.
2018-03-06 07:39:22 PM jessicas Everyone has to have a team to work
2018-03-06 07:39:29 PM daphaneb good question
2018-03-06 07:39:34 PM dcorvin on certain crafts

2018-03-06 07:39:46 PM daphaneb team work makes the dream work
2018-03-06 07:39:46 PM nicoled good idea kathy
2018-03-06 07:39:50 PM hmainali About the extra credit of week 11. I am not allowed to take a picture of the resident and in the activity. So I dont have any pictures of the activity. So what can I do instead Kathy?
2018-03-06 07:39:51 PM mmierez I like the new game idea, i think I will try it
2018-03-06 07:39:55 PM mandy I like that Kathy.
2018-03-06 07:39:58 PM jenniferlfowler toss and talk sounds fun great idea!
2018-03-06 07:40:00 PM alexm20 dciorin a suggstion for you is to mabey get students who want to be in this industry to help. it's a win win they get experance and you get help
2018-03-06 07:40:01 PM monikadover that is why we are dreaming
2018-03-06 07:40:04 PM yamaris2305 That week I want to have a party every day, I mean a theme I distinguish every day of that week
2018-03-06 07:40:11 PM marie WERE DOING BEST CNA NURSE OF THE MONTH THEY ARE GETTING MORE INVOLVED BUT IT TOOK THEM A WHILE WHERE IM AT
2018-03-06 07:40:12 PM sfaria Nursing usually doesn't "play well" witht eh activity dept. I wish I knew what it was....
2018-03-06 07:40:12 PM tamarao our nursing department has started assigning a CNA from 3-4:30 eveyday to work with us ! It has helped alot getting them involved! Now they are asking to be assigned to the activity room
2018-03-06 07:40:13 PM nicoled or anyone have a universal worker? that helps with both staff and activites?
2018-03-06 07:40:19 PM daphaneb monikadover OUCH
2018-03-06 07:40:21 PM jkunc Shut The Box is a dice game. https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-pty-pty_maps&hsimp=yhs-pty_maps&hspart=pty&p=shut+the+box+you+tube#id=3&vid=b9e6302afc393710a5ffc8a4ddf2c69c&action=click

2018-03-06 07:40:58 PM jogood fill an old purse with items...lipstick etc...and have em reach in and feel and describe item
2018-03-06 07:40:58 PM lauraj tamara: I like the idea of nursing assigning a CNA to activities. If only!
2018-03-06 07:41:04 PM kristenamrein Kathy I have a question for the 010218 class. During one week, you said that you couldn't make one of the chats but would allow us to chat that night in the chatrooms and that it would count towards our final. Is it being counted towards our final practicum and if so which part?
