2013-10-09 06:30:36 PM ksmith2115 we started this summer, not much participation but its growing, im trying to target some of the short term residents we have in addtion to the long term. they are always in therapy so late night activities seem to work for them
2013-10-09 06:30:46 PM gleblanc that's right, i can relate to that lindsey
2013-10-09 06:30:58 PM pawood what is sad is when you ask them what they did at home they will tell you they slept and then they want them doing jumping jacks
2013-10-09 06:31:00 PM dtracie11 i hear that state is coming down much harder on activity departments now

2013-10-09 06:31:37 PM kenneyjk29 sometimes with the difficult pts i have, i find it easy to sit with them and do the activity by myself and eventually they will join in or strike up conversation (usually telling me to leave) but they are still interacting!
2013-10-09 06:31:44 PM scalabrese left the chat room

2013-10-09 06:41:45 PM jennifer0876 funny because outings are a lot of work and the rest of the faciltiy is like " how fun, you guys get to go out to eat every week" It's 100 degress straping folks in, you're heated by the time you get to your destination
2013-10-09 06:41:52 PM ksmith2115 we are planning a veterans day ceremony for the residents
