2018-04-10 06:14:18 PM kathyhughes Our idea for nursing home week is to have residents and staff write one page each day on a theme...for example the first day have everyone write about their favorite summer vacation
2018-04-10 06:14:24 PM laurajackson cindyloucattell Ok Thanks, Ive Been Struggling To. Maybe we Both need a third Buddy. lol

2018-04-10 06:14:54 PM maryb It's hard to get residents to write. Do you have staff write what they say?

2018-04-10 06:15:27 PM kristenamrein enter the chat room

2018-04-10 06:15:35 PM maryb Good idea with staff as reporters.

2018-04-10 06:16:07 PM blaikej We do something like that. We call it story weaving.
2018-04-10 06:16:10 PM robertambadger thats lovely..we hung all their pics up when they were young and gave clues about them..staff and guests had to figure out who they are
2018-04-10 06:16:13 PM mmierez I would like to join both of you to brainstorm
2018-04-10 06:16:15 PM maggiespitaleri1 we always make up a different theme for each day of the week and celebrate both residents and staff. each day a different department gets acknowleged
2018-04-10 06:16:16 PM marie family members can have them when they leave. It is nice for family
2018-04-10 06:16:17 PM cindyloucattell I haven't found a sheet to log your hours on
2018-04-10 06:16:19 PM dpackard They could make collages
2018-04-10 06:16:21 PM amyb I would like more training on memories in the making
2018-04-10 06:16:27 PM donnalova2 I believe it's for the disease we did our report on. I'm doing mine on arthritis.
2018-04-10 06:16:33 PM shouser kathy just want to make sure
2018-04-10 06:16:37 PM marie it is a great program
2018-04-10 06:16:37 PM jadebayo enter the chat room
2018-04-10 06:16:43 PM daphaneb Im going to try that
2018-04-10 06:16:54 PM lisaad I love the idea of hanging young pics and have people guess
2018-04-10 06:17:03 PM nicoled good idea
2018-04-10 06:17:10 PM amyb I have participated in it a little but wish I knew how to get more teaining and information

2018-04-10 06:17:19 PM blaikej Memories in the making is wonderful

2018-04-10 06:17:27 PM blaikej and fun
2018-04-10 06:17:32 PM shouser sorry such a bother
2018-04-10 06:17:34 PM kristenamrein Hello everyone! Kathy, I have a quick question for you regarding the final practicum. It's about the Cohorts project. Since "cohorts" is such a broad term, are there any specific corhorts you are looking for use to interview from? I just want to know before I start that part of the project.
2018-04-10 06:17:36 PM dcorvin interesting ideas
2018-04-10 06:17:43 PM dpackard we did something like that years ago called life celebrations where we gathered photos and a complany made collages for the residents. I have one too
2018-04-10 06:17:52 PM jadebayo I think that's a good idea. Alot of residents look totally different when younger
2018-04-10 06:17:58 PM mmierez we did baby pictures of staff and it was fun
2018-04-10 06:17:58 PM kathyhughes We did Baby Pictures and then we did wedding pictures of staff and residents
2018-04-10 06:18:06 PM nicoled awesome idea
2018-04-10 06:18:12 PM marie i like Kathy
2018-04-10 06:18:13 PM scarvalho09 Kathey when interviewing our local ombudsman does this have to be done face to face or can this be done over the phone?
2018-04-10 06:18:13 PM ahenwood If we can't get baby pictures, we are going to try to get wedding pictures of our married residents
2018-04-10 06:18:14 PM patriciabates We did an awesome thing today in our live a dream program one of our residents is going to go to circus ole' if thats how you sell
2018-04-10 06:18:15 PM dianea1781 love that
2018-04-10 06:18:17 PM robertambadger it was surprising and enlightening
2018-04-10 06:18:22 PM blaikej I love the idea of baby pictures
2018-04-10 06:18:25 PM nicoled i was thinking of doing something like that in june since it is wedding season
2018-04-10 06:18:31 PM amaliaagallas I also have the same question about the cohort quetion too!
2018-04-10 06:18:39 PM jadebayo what's your live a dream program?

2018-04-10 06:19:02 PM maryb That would be a great bulletin board idea - staff with baby pictures. Residents can guess who is who.
2018-04-10 06:19:03 PM kristenamrein I will be!
2018-04-10 06:19:03 PM nicoled yes
