2018-05-22 05:40:20 PM ahenwood Really good, I think. I am finding that I am needing minimal help with most of everything. I am also finding that Ann Clark taught me a lot of the stuff I know without even knowing it. Which is awesome for me!
2018-05-22 05:40:41 PM tamarao hello
2018-05-22 05:40:51 PM tamarao how is everyone?
2018-05-22 05:40:54 PM ahenwood But it is also nice learning all the specifics to why we do things a certian way
2018-05-22 05:40:59 PM kathyhughes Great! There are things that we learned from others

2018-05-22 05:42:56 PM ahenwood Ain't that the truth. This is the first weekend I am going out to my camp for the summer. It is also the opening weekend and first volleyball tournament of the summer!
2018-05-22 05:43:08 PM ahenwood I'm sorry Tamara
2018-05-22 05:43:12 PM tamarao its ok ! Just finding myself with alot on my plate that im not sure is mine..... if that makes sense

2018-05-22 05:44:40 PM kathyhughes Hello Karen
2018-05-22 05:44:42 PM tamarao My company does not give it as a paid holiday anymore
2018-05-22 05:45:10 PM ahenwood I love holiday weekends/days. I always get so much accomplished. But at the same time I hate it as well
2018-05-22 05:45:14 PM karenfabian Hi Everyone - I am enjoying "activities" programs this week -
2018-05-22 05:45:23 PM ahenwood That's so unusual...
2018-05-22 05:45:30 PM tamarao BUT i do get a 6 day holiday weekend over the 4th of July
2018-05-22 05:45:50 PM kathyhughes I got alot accomplished on the holiday weekends
2018-05-22 05:45:54 PM ahenwood That will be nice for you!
2018-05-22 05:46:12 PM tamarao yes, looking forward to it!!
2018-05-22 05:46:14 PM kathyhughes Great Karen...I sure hope so
2018-05-22 05:46:23 PM kathyhughes I bet that you will Tamara
2018-05-22 05:46:36 PM tamarao Did everyone have a good National Nursing Home Week?
2018-05-22 05:47:45 PM kathyhughes I am pretty sure that we all survived!
2018-05-22 05:47:46 PM ahenwood Yes! we tie-dyed t-shirts with the residents and they absolutely loved it. Now I see one of our shirts almost everyday. The rest of the planned week was fun too
2018-05-22 05:47:51 PM ahenwood lol Kathy
2018-05-22 05:47:54 PM kathyhughes Now its onto the summer activities
2018-05-22 05:48:31 PM karenfabian Nice to be appreciated for a week - we tie-dyed coffee filters and made them into dainty baskets. So pretty.
2018-05-22 05:48:40 PM ahenwood I am already working on father's day and STNA week with my DON then it'll be 4th of july before I know it
2018-05-22 05:48:40 PM kathyhughes We did tshirts for crafts regularly so that they had some reminder of events
2018-05-22 05:49:07 PM vrandle enter the chat room
2018-05-22 05:49:20 PM tamarao I'm excited for summer activities ..... My husband is fixing real fishing poles into magnetic ones for my dementia patients that I cant take out! I think they will enjoy it!
2018-05-22 05:49:51 PM karenfabian We change the boards in the activities rooms (what seems to be daily), but residents are happy to understand: mother's day, memorial day, father's day - a great way for us to help them keep track
2018-05-22 05:49:57 PM kathyhughes They will
2018-05-22 05:50:45 PM karenfabian I love that fishing pole idea. You will have to post a pic so we can see what the magnet part looks like.

2018-05-22 05:51:08 PM kathyhughes I always bought a blue kiddie pool every summer and we used it all year
2018-05-22 05:51:44 PM karenfabian I love the blue kiddie pool idea - excited to talk to the boss tomororw
2018-05-22 05:51:48 PM kathyhughes We used it for our Pool Parties and then for fishing and then we used it in the winter for ice fishing
2018-05-22 05:52:02 PM ahenwood My residents are very alert and oriented. I'm not sure if they would enjoy that or not
2018-05-22 05:52:03 PM kathyhughes we also used it when we did glitter projects
2018-05-22 05:52:12 PM tamarao He is using plastic worms from his tackle box and threading magnets into them. We found a kid set that had fish, but i didn't like the pole so he is fixing it for me! We are using a kiddie pool
2018-05-22 05:52:17 PM ahenwood Good idea on the glitter
2018-05-22 05:52:21 PM kathyhughes Mine loved it for pool parties
2018-05-22 05:52:26 PM dianap enter the chat room
2018-05-22 05:52:41 PM ahenwood What did you do for the pool parties?
2018-05-22 05:52:47 PM tamarao i can see mine with their feet in it and beach boy music on.....
2018-05-22 05:52:52 PM wandellav enter the chat room
2018-05-22 05:52:53 PM ahenwood That fishing makes sense
2018-05-22 05:53:33 PM kathyhughes We would put our feet in it for part of the pool party and we would have fruit drinks and think that we were at a pool
2018-05-22 05:53:51 PM kathyhughes It was my best investment
2018-05-22 05:54:06 PM sburgess enter the chat room
2018-05-22 05:54:27 PM tamarao maybe a little beach sand in one ??
2018-05-22 05:54:33 PM kathyhughes We used them all year long
2018-05-22 05:54:33 PM ahenwood I will have to try something like that and see how it goes
2018-05-22 05:54:48 PM kathyhughes yep we also used it with sand
2018-05-22 05:54:51 PM elizabethw enter the chat room
2018-05-22 05:55:07 PM dfrana I'm afraid we have people who would say its not sterile and you have to watch for infection control
2018-05-22 05:55:11 PM elizabethw good evening all
2018-05-22 05:55:16 PM karenfabian beach sand with buckets, sifters, shovels and plastic boats

2018-05-22 05:55:39 PM kathyhughes We also would place saucers on the bottom of it and the residents would try to pitch pennies in the saucers
2018-05-22 05:55:42 PM tamarao could build sand castles
2018-05-22 05:55:46 PM dianap good evening

2018-05-22 06:00:34 PM dianap June is going to be super busy. It seem slike we have an outing every week along with several different parties throughout the month
2018-05-22 06:00:38 PM tamarao Does anyone else have a problem with their assistants NOT doing what is on the calender?
2018-05-22 06:00:44 PM kaylacanvin same here
2018-05-22 06:00:46 PM pennyhunt a pool party would be fun
2018-05-22 06:00:48 PM dfrana Yes, figured I can make decorations from cardboard, surf boards and such
2018-05-22 06:00:49 PM elizabethw you could make dirt cups but beach themaed ( vanilla crackers crushed up for sand and blue jello underneath) and then get sweesih fish or other gummys for topping
2018-05-22 06:00:50 PM kathyhughes You can use it for your Practicum Chat...she was unable to login
2018-05-22 06:00:57 PM jenniferlfowler yes, sometimes they do like to change it
2018-05-22 06:01:14 PM skylarh Good evening all!
2018-05-22 06:01:15 PM kaylacanvin we just have to go with the flow
2018-05-22 06:01:29 PM wandellav kathy iv email you a few time about one of my assignment wwek 6 and still not graded so is there sometime i didnt do right and i need to redo it ????
2018-05-22 06:01:32 PM tamarao I don't mean change it - just NOT doing it!
2018-05-22 06:01:43 PM bamatthewspeterson I dont have problems with my assistance but I do leave room for "impromtu" activiies if there is free time. It works for the residents and lets the acitivty assistants be creative.
2018-05-22 06:01:47 PM karenfabian Yes - we are having to structure assistant activities a bit more as the spring is bringing on a bit of laziness
2018-05-22 06:01:48 PM mayuridshah enter the chat room
2018-05-22 06:01:48 PM trisha1903 Sometimes I have problems with asst. not doing whats on calendar but I will ask why and investigate

2018-05-22 06:02:23 PM wilmaholt I too have a problem with assistants not following the calendar schedule
2018-05-22 06:02:25 PM laurajackson Hello

2018-05-22 06:02:49 PM wilmaholt nursing home week was great and the residents had a blast
2018-05-22 06:02:57 PM trisha1903 nursing home week was fantastic!
2018-05-22 06:03:00 PM maryb I am with everyone else. June is a crazy month. Even more so than May!
2018-05-22 06:03:01 PM dianea1781 nursing home week was alot of fun
2018-05-22 06:03:03 PM diannekilroy we havent had that yet,just nursing week
2018-05-22 06:03:03 PM sburgess Nursing home week was great.
2018-05-22 06:03:10 PM jenniferlfowler We have an ice cream social planned in june
2018-05-22 06:03:10 PM elizabethrahe With my assistant I lay out all materials she will need in the morning and things seem to go pretty well.
2018-05-22 06:03:11 PM tamarao Balloon LAunch? I was told I couldnt release balloons
2018-05-22 06:03:11 PM pennyhunt we put on our calendars that all activities are subject to change because sometimes they just dont work out right
2018-05-22 06:03:15 PM vrandle Nursing home week went great, we ended with a luau and banana splits
2018-05-22 06:03:22 PM elizabethrahe I work with memory care though and things do change at the drop of a hat
2018-05-22 06:03:26 PM dfrana kathyhughes, many of us were logged in last night for the AL Chat but Karyn was not there...I was checking back and forth between the chat rooms looking for her.... we all stayed on for the hour and chatted about various issues
2018-05-22 06:03:26 PM alexysg enter the chat room
2018-05-22 06:03:27 PM kaylacanvin pennyhunt same here
2018-05-22 06:03:34 PM karenfabian We have 3 assistants that would prefer not to use the scheduled events, but they can talk and sing like no one else. Everyone has their own talents and some of our assistants - that's their comfort zone. We need to talk more about the calendar.
2018-05-22 06:03:48 PM adriennem enter the chat room
2018-05-22 06:03:56 PM elizabethrahe Have you thought of having your assistants help make the calendar?
2018-05-22 06:03:57 PM trisha1903 sometimes in the memory unit it does not always work in activities which is why a back up plan is good
2018-05-22 06:03:58 PM alexysg Hello everyone, is anyone interested in chatting about a special event for our final?
2018-05-22 06:04:13 PM kaylacanvin trisha1903 same with me too
2018-05-22 06:04:24 PM wilmaholt to change the activity due to a specific reason is ok but for an assistant to change bc they dont feel like doing it..ugh it aggrevates me
2018-05-22 06:04:24 PM tamarao Im just afraid if the state walks in and nothing is happening when the calender says there should be.....
2018-05-22 06:04:27 PM pennyhunt and sometimes we forget we were gonna do a craft even after looking at the calendar so we change things quickly as long as residents are having fun and smiling we go with it
2018-05-22 06:04:33 PM maryb Alexysg. I would love to chat -- When?

2018-05-22 06:04:46 PM karenfabian Genius - Yes, assistants should help with the calendar - they may help make them more accountable. Currently AD is the only one who creates. Great idea
2018-05-22 06:04:49 PM pennyhunt dont blame you wilma we had one like that too

2018-05-22 06:05:40 PM dianap As an activity assistant, I create the monthly calendar. I spend more time on the floor with the residents and know what works and what doesn't
2018-05-22 06:05:41 PM kaylacanvin we don't have any assistants lol
2018-05-22 06:05:43 PM trisha1903 Yes my assistant helps with the calendar it does make them feel they are involved with activity decisions
2018-05-22 06:05:43 PM bamatthewspeterson enter the chat room
2018-05-22 06:05:45 PM cindybrady4 we have a form where the resident associates fill out their intrests/talents and we try to plan accordingly with those
2018-05-22 06:05:47 PM diannekilroy we talked and watched as much as we dould
2018-05-22 06:05:48 PM wandellav we did wreaths out of coffee fillter and spay them with red white blue paint everyone like them they had fun
