2018-05-15 06:54:04 PM lisaad sometimes if your TV is hooked to a wii or vcr with HDMI cable you can takeit out of the wii and plug it into laptop

2018-05-15 06:54:16 PM wilmaholt its tough with the volunteers bc of the back ground check and everything they need to go through we end up losing all of the volunteers who express a interest in volunteering
2018-05-15 06:54:19 PM tracylwhitman I love hearing about all your ideas here. Just awesome

2018-05-15 06:54:55 PM doreenschaffer Ok, i'm just going to ask this question: When I first started I used my own money for things. I'm finding though that the more I use of my own, the more it is expected so I stopped. Anyone else having those issues?

2018-05-17 06:01:44 PM kathyhughes I will be doing it again in June
2018-05-17 06:01:54 PM susankent i wasn't aware that Nursing Home week was the responsibility of the activity department until Monday when it began. no formal training when i was put in director position
2018-05-17 06:01:55 PM kathyhughes You need to read through the NCCAP Standards

2018-05-17 06:02:12 PM olivcar Hi everyone!
2018-05-17 06:02:19 PM karencurtis hi everyone
2018-05-17 06:02:31 PM amberrwetherill Nursing home week is supposed to be a group effort by the whole team, but typically it will fall into activities lap.
2018-05-17 06:02:34 PM karencurtis hows nursing home week going
2018-05-17 06:02:52 PM amberrwetherill This year I made sure everyone had a day, made sure they had what they needed and told them they are in charge of that day
2018-05-17 06:02:56 PM tknox23508 it always does
2018-05-17 06:03:10 PM kathyhughes I had an Administrator ask me 3 weeks after if we did anything for Nursing Home week! I said of course we had a special Bingo game and he bought it!
2018-05-17 06:03:10 PM tknox23508 did it work
2018-05-17 06:03:26 PM tknox23508 lol
2018-05-17 06:03:29 PM karencurtis yes,that happened to our staff today. we had a pizza luncheon and all depts enjoyed pizza and activties staff worked the lunch!
2018-05-17 06:03:42 PM suerahn I have always planned all activities for residents and staff for NHW but my administrator told me that I do not have to worry about staff. Well noone else stepped up so I ended up having to do everything last minute
2018-05-17 06:03:42 PM tknox23508 that show you how much they pay attention
2018-05-17 06:03:43 PM melissaz How do you all celebrate your staff or the various departments? We celebrated Nurses Week by having the managers create a potluck for them and the marketing person bought them little gifts.
2018-05-17 06:03:44 PM susankent tomorrow is the finally with sports day and on top of that is resident birthday party and employee of the month. can't wait till 5 o'clock tomorrow
2018-05-17 06:03:54 PM priscillad Thank goodness the nursing department assisted me with Nursing home week this year since my assistant position was taken away and Im running my department alone...
2018-05-17 06:04:02 PM amberrwetherill Yes it did. Nursing is doing the ice cream social today. And I told them they are on their own
2018-05-17 06:04:07 PM kathyhughes You have to remember that we are the only dept that can plan successful events which is why it falls on us
2018-05-17 06:04:10 PM karencurtis we raffled off baskets each day for employees to win
2018-05-17 06:04:21 PM karencurtis good point kathy
2018-05-17 06:04:30 PM amberrwetherill My DON still never did anything specifially for nurses' week
2018-05-17 06:04:36 PM tknox23508 that makes sense but help is good too
2018-05-17 06:04:42 PM susankent that's cuz we're great, right?
2018-05-17 06:04:51 PM tknox23508 we are great
2018-05-17 06:04:59 PM karencurtis activities rock!
2018-05-17 06:05:00 PM tknox23508 we are better than great
2018-05-17 06:05:01 PM kathyhughes We are GREAT!!!
2018-05-17 06:05:08 PM priscillad Agreed!
2018-05-17 06:05:16 PM kathyhughes We can plan anything for nothing!
2018-05-17 06:05:22 PM karencurtis true
2018-05-17 06:05:22 PM suerahn I used to always combine events with staff and residents and this year it was separated which made it much more difficult
2018-05-17 06:05:23 PM melissaz Yes we can!
2018-05-17 06:05:37 PM tknox23508 you are right i can take nothing and make something
2018-05-17 06:05:39 PM karencurtis ive been playing a wheel of fortune game that residents love
2018-05-17 06:05:48 PM tonjaboyd We had the a BBQ that was good all department heads help
2018-05-17 06:05:55 PM melissaz Nice!
2018-05-17 06:05:56 PM priscillad We are ending our week with an outing tomorrow at the bowling alley..YaY!
2018-05-17 06:05:56 PM tknox23508 good
2018-05-17 06:06:00 PM amberrwetherill Isn't that the truth. I got told by my MDS person that to make sure I keep standing my ground and not letting anyone else push me around haha
2018-05-17 06:06:07 PM susankent we had laso competition for residents, trivia today for employees, tp toss yesterday and bingo tomorrow as well as running regular resident activities, I'm pooped
2018-05-17 06:06:13 PM rbudd enter the chat room
2018-05-17 06:06:16 PM olivcar We had a cookout with all hands on deck- it was awesome!
2018-05-17 06:06:34 PM tknox23508 im glad
2018-05-17 06:06:37 PM karencurtis has anyone tried sensory bottles?
2018-05-17 06:06:55 PM melissaz Nope, what do you put in them?
2018-05-17 06:07:00 PM susankent yeah for some reason the target is always on activities back
2018-05-17 06:07:08 PM rbudd hello
2018-05-17 06:07:09 PM tknox23508 no one in our building seems to appreciate activities
2018-05-17 06:07:14 PM melissaz It's becuase we are fantastic people
2018-05-17 06:07:16 PM tonjaboyd Thats great
2018-05-17 06:07:17 PM kathyhughes We made them and the residents used them as gifts for kid
2018-05-17 06:07:25 PM priscillad no, karen...what does it consist of?
2018-05-17 06:07:37 PM karencurtis theyre alot of fun & residents loved them. Water and Karo syrup with lots of glitter and plastic items that float and sequence
2018-05-17 06:07:50 PM kathyhughes Tamira they do appreciate you, they just don't say it
2018-05-17 06:07:53 PM susankent they only appreciate when you are keeping residents busy for them to get a breather
2018-05-17 06:08:22 PM karencurtis theyre also called calming bottles. we will be doing a special Memorial Day one with red white and blue
2018-05-17 06:08:37 PM suerahn I think they appreciate us but dont say it to us.
2018-05-17 06:08:40 PM olivcar Activities can be difficult because we aren't a profit generatng department, and most think that we are all fun and games all of the time- which is true to a certain extent, however there's a lot of paperwork and behind the scenes stuff that they don't see
2018-05-17 06:08:44 PM michellelheldt enter the chat room
2018-05-17 06:08:50 PM tknox23508 i guess i have to look at it that way. Im use to being in a building where it is expressed
2018-05-17 06:09:12 PM rbudd We are the heart beat of the building
2018-05-17 06:09:14 PM olivcar Not to mention the last minute stuff that gets thrown our way
2018-05-17 06:09:16 PM michellelheldt hello everyone
2018-05-17 06:09:22 PM tknox23508 I stay looking on the positive and being positive
2018-05-17 06:09:26 PM karencurtis i think we're the most underrated dept
2018-05-17 06:09:35 PM olivcar agreed Karen!
2018-05-17 06:09:46 PM kathyhughes I always thanked other staff and then they finally would thank us...but it took some time
2018-05-17 06:09:54 PM susankent karen that's a great idea. I only have one or two residents interested in crafting but that sounds like I can pull a few more in with that idea.
2018-05-17 06:09:56 PM tknox23508 i agree its hard to get people on bored its a good thing im there for the resident
