2018-05-29 06:12:52 PM bcramer love that idea of milking the cow
2018-05-29 06:13:00 PM kathyhughes I had a couple of farmers
2018-05-29 06:13:02 PM maryb Kathy, that sounds like a huge mess. Milking the glove!!
2018-05-29 06:13:05 PM lisaad SOme of our residents milked cows in their youth
2018-05-29 06:13:10 PM kathyhughes we had pails

2018-05-29 06:13:45 PM 2960580 IF IT IS OURTSIDE IT IS OK

2018-05-29 06:14:03 PM doreenschaffer So I make a cow. One activityto lasso and another to milk. I like to get as much out of what I make as I can.
2018-05-29 06:14:04 PM kathyhughes If you don't have farmers then it would not be appropriate for your residents
2018-05-29 06:14:04 PM lisaad Well I love cows in general so maybe I will try to bring cow decor into the facility
2018-05-29 06:14:12 PM karenfabian The eggs are not hard boiled?
2018-05-29 06:14:20 PM doreenschaffer I have farmers.
2018-05-29 06:14:21 PM 2960580 YEA
2018-05-29 06:14:24 PM pennyhunt no they are not
2018-05-29 06:14:26 PM merrinoelpeterson lisaad me too! but cows and sheep are great also
2018-05-29 06:14:31 PM lisaad Doreen what size are you thinking?
2018-05-29 06:14:33 PM bcramer there are many ways to keep from making a mess. You could use pails like Kathy said and put the chucks" underneath where they are milking
2018-05-29 06:14:36 PM doreenschaffer Gosh, my mindis spinning. Now that I am done with class I have time to do this stuff.
2018-05-29 06:14:39 PM maryb Not any farmers in my community.
2018-05-29 06:15:00 PM kaylacanvin we have some farmers, but they don't talk about it
2018-05-29 06:15:16 PM lisaad doreen are you finished with your class--final and all?
2018-05-29 06:15:22 PM karenfabian I have an FBI agent that used to play basketball. He hates TV and music any other ideas?
2018-05-29 06:15:23 PM kathyhughes It was what my residents were interested in...depends on your residents
2018-05-29 06:15:33 PM doreenschaffer No, I'll be faxing in my final practicum tomorrow. Final is next.
2018-05-29 06:15:35 PM 2960580 SBDULSTELY
2018-05-29 06:15:49 PM wilmaholt no farmers but maybe we can make ice cream
2018-05-29 06:15:54 PM kathyhughes Does he have any hobbies?
2018-05-29 06:15:58 PM tealbesing I do what they want and like
2018-05-29 06:16:01 PM donna2018 karenfabian - watergun target practice??

2018-05-29 06:16:18 PM 2960580 LOL
2018-05-29 06:16:21 PM doreenschaffer I did crappy on the mid term. My son called from Kuwait while I was taking it and then I rushed through it. I'm making sure I'm prepared this itme.
2018-05-29 06:16:26 PM karenfabian Challenging to speak. I was doing a balloon toss, when I discovered he liked basketball.
2018-05-29 06:16:42 PM lisaad Is the FBI Agent still able to play BBall?
2018-05-29 06:16:46 PM maryb Karen, maybe he would like the duck hunt idea. Shoot nerf guns at duck cut outs
2018-05-29 06:16:49 PM bcramer for the fbi agent you could do a scavenger hunt, give him clues to find stuff in your facility
2018-05-29 06:16:53 PM pennyhunt i hear ya on that doreen i drop everything when my son calls
2018-05-29 06:16:54 PM 2960580 WE HAAVE MOSTY VATERIANS AND SOME OTHER PROFESSIONS RESIDENTS
2018-05-29 06:16:59 PM karenfabian Love the duck hunt idea
2018-05-29 06:17:01 PM karenfabian thank you
2018-05-29 06:17:04 PM lisaad You could get a standing hoop and invite some high school kids
2018-05-29 06:17:31 PM kathyhughes We had a kids basketball net which we set up over a trash can and they would wad up paper and try to make a basket
2018-05-29 06:17:41 PM maryb I think the FBI agent may like to talk with HS kids about his job.
2018-05-29 06:17:54 PM wilmaholt hmm..
2018-05-29 06:18:00 PM 2960580 NOT BAD IDEA KATHY
2018-05-29 06:18:02 PM wilmaholt interesting ideas
2018-05-29 06:18:02 PM karenfabian These are great ideas - thank you
2018-05-29 06:18:29 PM pennyhunt we have a regular basketball hop that was donated to us but my residents like the wastgebasket and ball better
2018-05-29 06:18:42 PM wilmaholt we have a similar resident
2018-05-29 06:18:49 PM lisaad Yes we have a blowup hoop I never thought to use it for wadded up paper
2018-05-29 06:18:51 PM wilmaholt but was an attorney
2018-05-29 06:19:04 PM karenfabian Great idea. He is happy, but board
2018-05-29 06:19:16 PM lisaad pennyhunt you can give yours to the FBI agent!
2018-05-29 06:19:20 PM doreenschaffer When the olympics was going on, I taped hula hoops together to make the rings. The resdients had to bounce a ping pong ball and if it went in the big part of the hoop is was 1 point. If it went in the small part (where the hoops overlap), it was 2 points. They loved it and keep asking to play again. I have it on the June calendar.
2018-05-29 06:19:21 PM kathyhughes WE had it set up so that they could come to the activities room at anytime and challenge each other
2018-05-29 06:19:22 PM pennyhunt we had a judge not very long ago he was a trip
2018-05-29 06:19:25 PM kaylacanvin has anyone had any luck with illusionists
2018-05-29 06:19:33 PM bcramer I did an employee/resident scavenger hunt to help employees learn survey items that they may be asked to locate
2018-05-29 06:19:45 PM lisaad That sound fun Doreen!
2018-05-29 06:20:11 PM merrinoelpeterson our residents cant get to the activity room we are behind two locked doors, its horrible
2018-05-29 06:20:11 PM maryb Great Idea bcramer!
2018-05-29 06:20:14 PM wilmaholt that does sound fun
2018-05-29 06:20:18 PM donna2018 kathy - that would be amazing.... to be able to leave things set up for them to do on own.
2018-05-29 06:20:30 PM karenfabian I am planning an "adopt an elder" program in September - similar to scavenger hunt, but a bit more like a secret santa
2018-05-29 06:20:30 PM lisaad bcramer great idea
2018-05-29 06:21:05 PM kathyhughes We had a room where we had all sorts of things set up each day for them
2018-05-29 06:21:09 PM donna2018 karenfabian - that's a great idea
2018-05-29 06:21:10 PM merrinoelpeterson karenfabian we did a "bestfriends" week similiar to what it sounds like you are planning to do
2018-05-29 06:21:12 PM lisaad karenfabian I love that idea--are you doing it with the staff?
2018-05-29 06:21:12 PM doreenschaffer karen, how do you play that
2018-05-29 06:21:19 PM kathyhughes the residents that needed something to do each day
2018-05-29 06:21:23 PM kaylacanvin what about penpals for the next school year?
2018-05-29 06:21:32 PM sunshine2018 enter the chat room
2018-05-29 06:21:35 PM kaylacanvin like pair up a student with a resident
2018-05-29 06:21:43 PM doreenschaffer Kayla, great idea!!!
2018-05-29 06:21:49 PM 2960580 YEA
2018-05-29 06:21:51 PM karenfabian adopt an elder. Staff adopts a resident and we will write notes back and forth so that we can try to guess who is who then we are having a party to celebrate and match up
2018-05-29 06:22:05 PM 2960580 OTHERWISE THEY FELT SAD
2018-05-29 06:22:10 PM kaylacanvin doreen thanks
2018-05-29 06:22:11 PM sunshine2018 Hello everyone I am sorry just getting on. State was here.
2018-05-29 06:22:16 PM doreenschaffer hmm..karen, nice! I'm writing all this down, lol.
2018-05-29 06:22:18 PM lisaad I love that idea! You could make stationary as a craft for their latters
2018-05-29 06:22:19 PM maryb I wish our HS students had more time to adopt an elder, but thier schedules are so tight. and stressed!
2018-05-29 06:22:31 PM lisaad Hey Sunshine
2018-05-29 06:22:38 PM bcramer kathy, we don't let residents in the activity room without staff because there is no call light if someone needs help. how do you manage that?
2018-05-29 06:22:39 PM karenfabian I have a notebook now - just dedicated to chats. Ideas are SO GREAT!
2018-05-29 06:22:40 PM doreenschaffer Mary, the national honor society is always looking for volunteer work. Check it out.
2018-05-29 06:22:40 PM kathyhughes Try finding Home Schoolers
2018-05-29 06:22:57 PM donna2018 One of the facilities that I visited have highschool students come in each week to offer training to the seniors on electronics. :)
2018-05-29 06:22:57 PM kathyhughes they work all year long and have flexible schedules
2018-05-29 06:23:06 PM 2960580 WE DO ACTIVY IN OPEN AREA
2018-05-29 06:23:24 PM 2960580 AND IT IS IN THE DINNIN AREA
2018-05-29 06:23:41 PM donna2018 2960580 - that would be difficult
2018-05-29 06:23:49 PM doreenschaffer 296, our activity area is a dining room/activity room also (called the common room).
2018-05-29 06:23:49 PM maryb I wonder how you go about finding homeschoolers
2018-05-29 06:23:54 PM 2960580 WHY
2018-05-29 06:24:03 PM wilmaholt us also, our activity area is a open area in the dining room
2018-05-29 06:24:09 PM kathyhughes You can do a search for Home Schooler groups in your area
2018-05-29 06:24:12 PM pennyhunt so is ours
2018-05-29 06:24:21 PM maryb Good idea.
2018-05-29 06:24:23 PM lisaad In my last facility in our secure memory care unit we did not have a room for activities we had to do it in the dining area and take everything away for meals
2018-05-29 06:24:30 PM bcramer does anyone here want to do a fitness through friendship type thing? I contacted nearby facilities to participate in getting fit through friendship and had no luck. I thought it would give my residents something to look forward to in exercising each morning
2018-05-29 06:24:32 PM wilmaholt will look it up
2018-05-29 06:24:33 PM merrinoelpeterson we do our activities in the dinning room also , aides and nurses wlaking through all day talking over us its horrible\
2018-05-29 06:25:09 PM karenfabian We have a CHA BOOM Group that comes in with great music and exercise once a week - repetition - they lov eit
2018-05-29 06:25:11 PM pennyhunt our staff dont do that
2018-05-29 06:25:12 PM karenfabian love it
2018-05-29 06:25:13 PM kathyhughes Brenda you might try a Senior Center they might have a fitness program
2018-05-29 06:25:22 PM lisaad yes the techs could be loud and rude--but after awhile they got to know me and were more respectful
2018-05-29 06:25:38 PM doreenschaffer bcramer, great idea. Unfortunatley, my residents I don't think would participate. It LTC and many are dementia residents.
2018-05-29 06:25:49 PM lisaad CHA BOOM is that DooWop?
2018-05-29 06:25:55 PM mayuridshah great idea.

2018-05-29 06:26:29 PM doreenschaffer My local environmental center is bringin owls and snakes in next month.
2018-05-29 06:26:31 PM karenfabian CHA BOOM is DOO Wop, but also has the oldies - "going to the chapel and going to get married" they do hand motions etc.
2018-05-29 06:26:48 PM donna2018 karen - so fun!
2018-05-29 06:26:52 PM wilmaholt oh..lol sounds fun!
2018-05-29 06:27:02 PM bcramer we exercise every morning, just was wanting to get other facilities in my area to exercise as well at their facilities and communicate how we are all doing
2018-05-29 06:27:07 PM 2960580 HUM SOUNDS FUN
2018-05-29 06:27:15 PM lisaad doreen that's a great idea we have a raptor rescue that visits facilities that would be great
2018-05-29 06:27:32 PM lisaad They will let an owl or a hawk sit on your arm
