2018-07-12 06:08:59 PM cbockis for the sensory group name why not have the staff vote and make it a contest to boost morale
2018-07-12 06:09:00 PM tajk333 We have a red hat society without actually joining the group, but we don't get informed about the local red hat society news. We have tea and dessert, then work on fundraising for different causes.
2018-07-12 06:09:03 PM pennyhunt have a lead on an activity that i need to run by the activity directoe and my co-worker just found out that our closest zoo is bringing its babies to a semi-local area on a wednsday I am hopingto be able to take the residents to this its free it will just be the day since its a transport day but i am sure we can work around that
2018-07-12 06:09:04 PM sfaria I likdful momd=entse that....min
2018-07-12 06:09:04 PM debw23 thank taj! :-) it allows the residents who cannot really enjoy the outdoors to feel as if they are outdoors more and if they have mobility issues they seem to forget all about them
2018-07-12 06:09:23 PM myriamr patriciabates: great name for sensory, Mindful Sensations.

2018-07-12 06:10:59 PM sunshine2018 OH THAT WOULD BE FUN
2018-07-12 06:11:02 PM amymc dress up days, minute to win it games, socials with both staff and residents

2018-07-12 06:26:07 PM kathyhughes And I would suggest a Sunday Tailgate party with a football game and invite the families
2018-07-12 06:26:08 PM sfaria Right....we didn't have high enough participation to keep it going

2018-07-12 06:27:30 PM debw23 our family council meetings turned into each family discussing their "business" in front of everyone and it was embarassing for the family members and some of the residents but we have learned to avoid those conversations! :)

2018-07-12 06:27:36 PM kathyhughes Do you have Resident Council weekly Scott?

2018-07-12 06:29:56 PM jadams69 The state lady pulled 20 of my "best" talkers in for a resident council meeting with her. That was a hoot

2018-07-12 06:30:13 PM debw23 our biggest subject at Resident Council is the food, does everyone seem to have that issue? Is food a big concern? I think we offer a lot of great food and all but it does seem to be a new issue everytime we meet, it became such a huge issue that we now also have "Huddle with Chef" monthly to address any issues...
2018-07-12 06:30:13 PM feleciap18 we have resident council once a month i think that we are going to vote on a new presidednt next resident council.
