2018-05-14 06:41:22 PM 2960580 i want to contact you both if ypu dpnt mind
2018-05-14 06:41:28 PM donnalova2 What do you give out as prizes for Bingo?
2018-05-14 06:42:16 PM dpackard right now we give out chips, crackers, miniature candy bard, hershey kisses and on Saturday a volunteer gives out stuffed animals
2018-05-14 06:42:27 PM 2960580 actually for me i was helpping my facily befor for activirty but not anymore
2018-05-14 06:42:56 PM 2960580 i did money mostof the time
2018-05-14 06:43:02 PM dpackard we have bingo 2-3 days a week and have a 92 yr old volunteer that calls bingo
2018-05-14 06:43:17 PM 2960580 because they can buy something later
2018-05-14 06:43:28 PM dpackard we used to give nickels and have a snack cart but this works better
2018-05-14 06:43:37 PM donnalova2 I wish our residents would accept that. Right now we give how play money and they can use it for an auction each month. Do you play Bingo every day?
2018-05-14 06:44:03 PM donnalova2 How much do you spend a month on that or do you get it donated?
2018-05-14 06:44:12 PM dpackard we also did points for a chinese auction but the residents that won all the time out bid the others
2018-05-14 06:44:45 PM 2960580 $20 for my side for i belive 2 week
2018-05-14 06:45:20 PM dpackard i think i spend 25-35. I get alot from the dollar tree and my volunteer provides the saturday gifts
2018-05-14 06:45:32 PM donnalova2 We have that problem also. So o our residents hoard their month and have thousands of dollars to spend at the auctions. It gets crazy. We are changing everything after our next auction because all I do is print money.
2018-05-14 06:46:00 PM 2960580 oh i do real money
2018-05-14 06:46:41 PM donnalova2 That's not bad. I'm trying to figure out how to handle all the craziness. Did you see the article on Bullying in Senior Centers.
2018-05-14 06:46:54 PM dpackard the director at the assisted living does bingo bucks and each one is worth 25 cents and all her items are 1.00
2018-05-14 06:47:13 PM dpackard we have had that at the nursing home
2018-05-14 06:47:29 PM dpackard we had a man that was horrible to another resident
2018-05-14 06:47:41 PM 2960580 no i didnot and it is really good
2018-05-14 06:47:51 PM 2960580 why waht the y did
2018-05-14 06:48:26 PM donnalova2 I think that's what we're going to do starting next month. Right now we pay if they win, if they're missing a number or two. it's gotten ridiculous.
2018-05-14 06:48:48 PM dpackard i didn't see the article but we would have to document every incident
2018-05-14 06:48:54 PM 2960580 not bad
2018-05-14 06:49:29 PM 2960580 is it part of our asinment
2018-05-14 06:49:38 PM 2960580 or just as it is
2018-05-14 06:49:49 PM dpackard she said she has a store twice a week but in assisted living i thin the people have more access to their own mony
2018-05-14 06:49:55 PM donnalova2 I have a few women that are total bullies that's why I wanted to Ombudsman to come to our community. I'm hoping he'll put some fear in them. We don't have any rule for doing that but my director said we need to start doing that.
2018-05-14 06:50:15 PM dpackard do you have a PEER program

2018-05-14 07:00:32 PM donnalova2 We had a MD Brunch and tea. The brunch was busy but on 4 residents came to the tea. Next year I'm doing it the Friday before. Most of the residents had family in or they went out with family.

2018-05-14 07:04:14 PM dpackard i was manager on duty so i worked all day yesterday and took off today

2018-05-14 07:05:22 PM dpackard i'm trying to find a good person for our team, it's hard
2018-05-14 07:05:30 PM donnalova2 I will have to do that when I get promoted. My director is training to be an executive director so he's hoping to move to our new community that will open next year and Im hoping to move into his position.
2018-05-14 07:05:54 PM dpackard that will be noce for you Donna

2018-05-14 07:06:40 PM donnalova2 I agree. I'm going to have a hard time finding someone for my position. I'm going to be very selective. It'll probably take me forever to find someone.
2018-05-14 07:07:18 PM donnalova2 It's just me and my director and our weekend person.
2018-05-14 07:07:42 PM 2960580 is it not it fine
2018-05-14 07:09:04 PM donnalova2 I'm doing most of my directors job since he's training me. He lets me basically plan the calendar for the month. I plan the trips and special events. He's really easy to work with. I have learned a lot from him.
2018-05-14 07:09:25 PM dpackard does your weekend person do every weekend

2018-05-14 07:15:50 PM dpackard it is costing the facility thousands of dollars to set up transports
2018-05-14 07:16:27 PM donnalova2 We were without a driver for 6 months and my director was doing all the driving. It was crazy. I was basically running the department by myself.

2018-05-14 07:29:05 PM dpackard i think the second test is 100 questions

2018-05-14 07:30:15 PM donnalova2 Yes all of them. I think she gives you full credit just for passing them in. I hope that's the case and she's not going to come back an regrade them in the end. I hope it's not 100 questions. I hope it's on 50.
2018-05-14 07:30:50 PM dpackard i hope she'snot going to regrade either
2018-05-14 07:31:17 PM 2960580 OK THAN
2018-05-14 07:31:34 PM donnalova2 I got an 84 on the mid-term but it should have been higher because I changed some of the answers and I originally had the right answer. This time I'm going my first instinct.

2018-05-15 05:51:04 PM 12716937 Hi Everyone!! I am finally able to get on here. My daughter is in a lot of sports in the spring and I haven't been able to get on here in awhile! It's nice to be back!!
2018-05-15 05:51:08 PM kaylacanvin call bingo for me, or visit with residents that become over stimulated
2018-05-15 05:51:26 PM mblackstone10 kayla, are you near any schools or churches?
2018-05-15 05:51:39 PM 12716937 This is Keytun Viltz by the way!
2018-05-15 05:52:05 PM kathyhughes Well you would be able to find Bingo callers, the other might be too much for volunteers
2018-05-15 05:52:13 PM elizabethw kaylacanvin- I can send you some i have the opposit problem 19 came today
2018-05-15 05:52:36 PM amyb enter the chat room
2018-05-15 05:52:40 PM kaylacanvin i have 41 residents with a WIDE range of abilities and i am only one person, and i am told i have to have bingo offered 5 days a week and then nails and then 1:1 and going outside and picking folks up for the beauty shop
2018-05-15 05:52:43 PM kathyhughes Are there other activities that the volunteers can do so it frees you up to take care of the residnets
2018-05-15 05:52:47 PM sherryagutensohn Hi eveyone, this is my second time doing the live chat I am very slow still learning.
2018-05-15 05:52:49 PM kaylacanvin the list goes on and on
2018-05-15 05:53:10 PM kaylacanvin we have sent out several flyers for help but no bites
2018-05-15 05:53:37 PM amyb Hi Kathy I sent you an email regrding the mid term about a week ago and have not heard back from you
2018-05-15 05:53:38 PM kaylacanvin i am being pulled in a hundred different directions
2018-05-15 05:53:51 PM kathyhughes It is not a matter of sending out flyers as much as it is to be specfic about what they are to do
2018-05-15 05:54:11 PM kathyhughes Amy I can answer it now...ask away
2018-05-15 05:54:20 PM tealbesing enter the chat room
2018-05-15 05:54:28 PM mblackstone10 kayla, try creating a volunteer newsletter with job specifics and sending it out
2018-05-15 05:54:40 PM kaylacanvin we dont even have a list to ask for specifics
2018-05-15 05:54:41 PM tealbesing hi
2018-05-15 05:54:41 PM kathyhughes Kayla you have to establish what exactly you need and then call to follow up
2018-05-15 05:55:07 PM mblackstone10 You can create the list. Part of my job at my community is coordinating all the volunteers
2018-05-15 05:55:11 PM amyb There are no activity grups I can join... Can I talk to some directors one on one?
2018-05-15 05:55:44 PM kathyhughes Yes you can....you can also ask your fellow students to meet in the chat room with you
2018-05-15 05:56:04 PM amyb oh that would be great

2018-05-15 05:56:58 PM kathyhughes For example Kayla if you have a resident who likes to write letters then ask for a volunteer to write letter for them

2018-05-15 06:00:34 PM kaylacanvin our volunteers spend time with those who can drive to anywhere. mine cannot do that
2018-05-15 06:00:35 PM kathyhughes We cannot be everything to everybody
