2018-07-17 06:57:38 PM conniefellers You bat it around like you are playing badmitton. The residents love it and the therapy dept will love you because it really helps with range of motion; upper body endurance and even cardio.

2018-07-19 06:04:19 PM samc2415 THE RESIDENTS ARE ALREADY ASKING WHEN WE ARE DOING IT AGAIN
2018-07-19 06:04:32 PM kathyhughes You can access their message board by going to "Visit our Network" and click on "Activity Director Message Boards"
2018-07-19 06:05:04 PM kathyhughes ADN stands for Activity Director Network...that is the group that sponors this course
2018-07-19 06:05:16 PM samc2415 MY DIRECTOR WILL BE RETIRING SOON DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR HER PARTY SHE WANTS FUN NOT SAPPY OR SAD
2018-07-19 06:05:40 PM swojcik Ok thank you

2018-07-19 06:07:33 PM jessicas Have the residents make crafts for the tables and things for the party
2018-07-19 06:07:33 PM samc2415 YES WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT WE ALSO ARE TAKING TV THEME SONGS TOO WITH SOME APPROPRIATE STORIES TO GO ALONG WITH THE THEME SONG
2018-07-19 06:07:55 PM amymc Pictures are always fun
2018-07-19 06:08:09 PM tajk333 that would be nice. I put together a photo album for my volunteer that left after quite a few years of service, and let residents/ staff sign cards and put it in with the photo album
2018-07-19 06:08:10 PM kathyhughes Ask her what her favorite memories are
2018-07-19 06:08:14 PM samc2415 I BELIEVE SHE TOOK YOUR CLASS IN AMARILLO TEXAS ABOUT 17 YEARS AGO
2018-07-19 06:08:50 PM kathyhughes LOL....I haven't been teaching online that long ago!
2018-07-19 06:08:56 PM swojcik OK my second and last question....Has anyone done any specialty chats? I went on on 6/20/18 and was on with one other person. The second time i went on was 7/9/18 and noone was on. I am planning on going on 7/25/18. Is anyone else going to be on?
2018-07-19 06:09:01 PM samc2415 LOL
2018-07-19 06:09:04 PM kathyhughes Also have the residents sign a card for her
2018-07-19 06:09:44 PM jessicas You have to make sure you are in the right chat room
2018-07-19 06:09:47 PM amymc I will try too do the specialty chat that day. I just did the one on Monday night
2018-07-19 06:09:47 PM kathyhughes Oh Susan I sure hope so! They have been hard to get the consultants to do their chats in the summer
2018-07-19 06:09:57 PM samc2415 HOW MANY OF TH SPECIALTY CLASSES TO WE NEED TO ATTEND
2018-07-19 06:10:27 PM kathyhughes They are extra credit so you do not have to attend...but you can attend 2 of them
2018-07-19 06:10:57 PM jessicas They are interesting
2018-07-19 06:11:12 PM amymc Do you know the difference be NAAP certification and NCCAP certification?
2018-07-19 06:11:21 PM amymc between
2018-07-19 06:11:23 PM kathyhughes I think that Celeste does a good job with the Alzheimer Chat
2018-07-19 06:11:30 PM swojcik I did call the activity directors network and he did see i was on the one and gave me credit. But there was no instructor on.
2018-07-19 06:11:35 PM tonjaboyd i did 2 chats
2018-07-19 06:11:39 PM tajk333 It was very informative!
2018-07-19 06:12:18 PM kathyhughes Yes...you are taking the NCCAP course...so you will be elgible for NCCAP certification...NAAPCC is you read a book and take a test
2018-07-19 06:12:37 PM tajk333 swojcik, I wish I would have done that. I had the same issue, but i figured it was canceled and i just didnt know about it.
2018-07-19 06:12:57 PM swojcik Who does the Adult day health activities on the 4th wed. special chat
2018-07-19 06:12:58 PM kathyhughes I believe that NCCAP certification may be more educational and recognized by Administrators more than NAAPCC
2018-07-19 06:13:24 PM kathyhughes Celeste does the Adult Day Care chat
2018-07-19 06:13:58 PM kathyhughes NAAPCC does not carry as much recognition as NCCAP
2018-07-19 06:14:02 PM swojcik I am looking forward to the chats. The are very interesting topic to me.
2018-07-19 06:14:55 PM kathyhughes So what are you all planning for August activities?

2018-07-19 06:17:50 PM amymc We have volunteers that take one resident at a time
2018-07-19 06:17:57 PM kathyhughes thought that was kind of interesting
2018-07-19 06:18:01 PM tonjaboyd Kathy I saw in the activity trap we had to down load the trap forms and fill them out and submit with our final practicum pack is that true?
2018-07-19 06:18:09 PM swojcik Yes our managers all 12 of them each take a resident and it's a one on one day. We do this two days of the fair for those who want to go.

2018-07-19 06:18:26 PM samc2415 I AM SO EXCITED WE ARE PLANNING A MURDER MYSTERY DINNER THEATER EVE IN A FEW MONTHS

2018-07-19 06:20:21 PM samc2415 WE HAVE GREAT STAFF AND LEADERSHIP HELP AS WELL AS WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS THAT ARE ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP EVERY TIME WE ASK
2018-07-19 06:20:22 PM kathyhughes The New York State fair is in Syracuse and every year we went to the free Senior Days to the concerts
2018-07-19 06:21:00 PM kathyhughes I also made transportation available to families who wanted to take people
2018-07-19 06:21:16 PM amymc I wish we had a bus
2018-07-19 06:21:27 PM kathyhughes We would video tape the fair and show it to the residents who could not go
2018-07-19 06:21:45 PM amymc That's a good idea
2018-07-19 06:21:52 PM kathyhughes and would bring back food and games for those who could not go
2018-07-19 06:21:58 PM samc2415 WE ARE FIXING TO GET A BRAND NEW BUS
2018-07-19 06:22:02 PM swojcik We also serve cream puffs during fair week to the residents
2018-07-19 06:22:38 PM kathyhughes We would rent a cotton candy machine and sno cone machine for them and have all sorts of games for them
2018-07-19 06:22:42 PM amymc We deep fry a variety of foods for them
2018-07-19 06:23:24 PM kathyhughes Deep fried everything!
2018-07-19 06:23:48 PM tajk333 We aren't allowed to have a deep fryer. I want to bring an air fryer in so it would kind of be the same!
2018-07-19 06:24:15 PM kathyhughes Yes it would
2018-07-19 06:24:26 PM tonjaboyd That sounds good
2018-07-19 06:24:40 PM jessicas air fryers are great
2018-07-19 06:24:43 PM kathyhughes We also knew where the fair people got their prizes and would get some for the games
2018-07-19 06:25:12 PM swojcik During the fall we do a harvest fest and make and serve different garden vegatables and fruits. We bake squash, steam green beans, corn, and things like that. they love trying the fresh vegatables.
2018-07-19 06:25:56 PM kathyhughes My folks always wanted a salad with fresh veggies
2018-07-19 06:26:08 PM kathyhughes they crave those fresh veggies
2018-07-19 06:26:23 PM amymc We do an ice cream cart. We play the music of the ice cream truck and then serve all sorts of ice cream treats they normally don't get
2018-07-19 06:26:25 PM kathyhughes and they would follow it up with greasy pizza!
2018-07-19 06:26:41 PM tajk333 yeah, at my facility they are lacking in fresh fruits and vegetables. my residents would love that
2018-07-19 06:26:44 PM swojcik Yes and since we cook for any where from 60 to 80 residents most of the time they get frozen veggies
2018-07-19 06:27:20 PM kathyhughes We would order it from the pizza place...and they loved it
2018-07-19 06:27:33 PM tajk333 I do an ice cream pass each week. I wish I would have thought to include to ice cream truck music! lol
2018-07-19 06:27:52 PM kathyhughes We also had a juice cart that we would take around with juices they did not get at the facility
2018-07-19 06:28:05 PM swojcik We do pizza tailgate parties for our Packer Games in the fall.
2018-07-19 06:28:17 PM samc2415 OMG WE STARTED THE ICE CREAM TRUCK THING A FEW WEEKS AGO THEY LOVE IT
2018-07-19 06:28:50 PM kathyhughes They enjoy pizza!
2018-07-19 06:29:04 PM kathyhughes Ice cream is great too
2018-07-19 06:29:15 PM swojcik I have a plactic rain guttere we use to make the largest ice cream sundae. The resident think it's great.
2018-07-19 06:29:18 PM samc2415 OUR FAVORITE OUTING WAS GOING TO THE LOCAL PIZZA HUT FOR DINNER THEY ARE ALWAYS ASKING WHEN WE ARE GOING AGAIN
2018-07-19 06:29:49 PM kathyhughes That sounds like fun!
2018-07-19 06:30:24 PM tonjaboyd That is so funny with the rain gutter
2018-07-19 06:30:30 PM kathyhughes We also would have a Young and the Restless luncheon once a month and the residents enjoyed the take out food
2018-07-19 06:30:37 PM samc2415 WE OFFER A VARIETY OF ICE CREAM THAT THEY DO NOT EVER GET ON OUR ICE CREAM TRUCK
2018-07-19 06:30:51 PM amymc That's what we do too
2018-07-19 06:30:51 PM swojcik The rain gutter has to be cleaned outside...lol

2018-07-19 06:33:57 PM kathyhughes I would bet that there are some vintage school supplies that they remember
2018-07-19 06:34:04 PM tajk333 the residents love spelling. Sometimes they say they can't spell and then they are able to do it with no problem. and they are so proud of themselves.
2018-07-19 06:34:10 PM samc2415 A LOCAL CHURCH IS HAVING A BAK TO SHOOL SCAVENGER HUNT AND ALL THE BUSINESSES IN TOWN WILL HAVE CERTAIN SCHOOL SUPPLIES WE ARE PROVIDING PRNCILS AND ERASERS AND CUTE LITTLE BADAGE PACKES FOR THE KINDER CLASS
2018-07-19 06:34:37 PM kathyhughes Thats great!
2018-07-19 06:35:14 PM kathyhughes We did a whole week of school subjects and then had a graduation on Friday and all that participated got a diploms
2018-07-19 06:35:21 PM kathyhughes diploma
2018-07-19 06:35:59 PM amymc That would be fun
2018-07-19 06:36:06 PM samc2415 TODAY WE MADE SLIME FOR SCENSORY SCIENCE THE RESIDENTS HAD SOOO MUCH FUN
2018-07-19 06:36:19 PM kathyhughes What kind of slime?
2018-07-19 06:36:42 PM tajk333 I love the fun science projects. there are so many out there! I like the making sugar crystals or rock candy!
2018-07-19 06:36:58 PM amymc What are some good sensory activities for low functioning residents? My staff really struglle with this
2018-07-19 06:37:12 PM tajk333 fidget blankets
2018-07-19 06:37:34 PM tajk333 as long as they won't try eating it, which i am struggling with right now with a few residents.
2018-07-19 06:37:36 PM samc2415 GLUE SHAVING CREAM BAKING SODA CONTACT SLOUTION AND FOOD COLORING A A BIT OF BABY OIL
2018-07-19 06:38:02 PM kathyhughes I would get some old suitcases and pack them with items for different vacations
2018-07-19 06:38:30 PM kathyhughes we would pack one for the beach, the woods and another to visit the grandchildren
2018-07-19 06:38:40 PM swojcik Yes the slime is a big hit with my granddaughter. they have so many way to make it. Our therapy dept uses it the therapy.
2018-07-19 06:38:55 PM tajk333 having a baby doll or stuffed animal provides comfort, music therapy, aromatherapy, and reading to them.. for sensory activities.
2018-07-19 06:38:56 PM kathyhughes and then we would talk about each item and remember
2018-07-19 06:39:34 PM amymc I just bought a bread maker for the aroma
2018-07-19 06:39:50 PM kathyhughes We also would make baskets with items ,,,like things that were all yellow...including lemons and lemon scent
2018-07-19 06:39:52 PM tajk333 The breadmaker is amazing! The residents love it
2018-07-19 06:40:42 PM tajk333 They sell a different scents game, but I just make my own with extracts or essential oils and cotton balls. much more affordable!
2018-07-19 06:40:58 PM kathyhughes There are also Montissori techniques that you can use
2018-07-19 06:41:06 PM jessicas love the smell of lemons
2018-07-19 06:41:33 PM kathyhughes We also used the electric grill and fried onions, bacon and other items for senory
2018-07-19 06:41:43 PM kathyhughes sensory
2018-07-19 06:41:45 PM amymc I've looked at those on Pinterest
2018-07-19 06:41:50 PM tajk333 yummm. nothing beats bacon
2018-07-19 06:42:13 PM tajk333 hopefully they get to eat it!
2018-07-19 06:42:43 PM kathyhughes Of course!
2018-07-19 06:42:57 PM kathyhughes Memories with food are the best memories
2018-07-19 06:43:11 PM jessicas I just made the giant kerplunk game that is on pintrest and it is wonderful. Our participants love it
2018-07-19 06:43:23 PM tajk333 so true! I definitely need to have more food activities
2018-07-19 06:43:39 PM swojcik Our baking group makes things that residents want form their childhood. It's great
2018-07-19 06:43:45 PM tonjaboyd Anything with food is good for our residents
2018-07-19 06:43:58 PM samc2415 IVE BEEN WANTING TO MAKE THAT
2018-07-19 06:44:01 PM kathyhughes Popcorn is a good memory as well
2018-07-19 06:44:25 PM amymc Great ideas
2018-07-19 06:45:22 PM swojcik The bad thing with activities doiing food things.....is on our surveys we don't get the credit dietary does. We have to always remind the residents that this is from activities. and yet they don't remember.
2018-07-19 06:45:23 PM kathyhughes Also I would warm up a jar of dirt...my gardeners loved smelling warm dirt
2018-07-19 06:45:46 PM tonjaboyd lol
2018-07-19 06:45:49 PM amymc What does that smell like
2018-07-19 06:46:06 PM tajk333 lol
2018-07-19 06:46:13 PM kathyhughes warm dirt...I am not a gardener so they loved it
2018-07-19 06:46:17 PM jessicas Warm dirt! Never would have even thought of that
2018-07-19 06:46:26 PM kathyhughes It was silly but they loved it
2018-07-19 06:46:27 PM tonjaboyd Dirt lol
2018-07-19 06:46:45 PM kathyhughes I know....
2018-07-19 06:46:48 PM tajk333 kinda like fresh cut grass candle lol
2018-07-19 06:46:52 PM kathyhughes Right
2018-07-19 06:47:13 PM kathyhughes Some people love it others could care less
2018-07-19 06:47:24 PM amymc I would be one that could care less
2018-07-19 06:48:01 PM tajk333 the next time I do my gardening I will have to take the dirt smell in so I can appreciate it later in life!
2018-07-19 06:48:11 PM amymc Me too
2018-07-19 06:48:19 PM kathyhughes I also had a couple of crockpots and we would but cider, cloves cinnamon sticks and orange slices in it and the smell reminded everyone of Fall
2018-07-19 06:48:33 PM kathyhughes we used the crockpots all fall and winter
2018-07-19 06:48:55 PM kathyhughes it not only smelled good it added humidity to the activity room
2018-07-19 06:49:25 PM tajk333 I have that every year for thanksgiving! so delicious
2018-07-19 06:50:01 PM tajk333 In the fall, we have a scarecrow making contest between all the departments!
2018-07-19 06:50:28 PM swojcik I really wish i had an activity room so i could do more. Using the dining rooms is tough. Maybe down the road the state will require it. Just like they are having activity directors certified. Yes we are finally being recognized. I love it.
2018-07-19 06:50:53 PM kathyhughes You can do that in the dinning rooms as well
2018-07-19 06:51:00 PM jessicas I like the idea of having the different depts having a contest I will have to try that
2018-07-19 06:51:05 PM kathyhughes it stimulates the appetite
2018-07-19 06:51:07 PM amymc We decorate the dining room all of the time
2018-07-19 06:51:54 PM kathyhughes I agree!
2018-07-19 06:52:24 PM kathyhughes So is there anything else for tonight? Next week we will cover certification....
2018-07-19 06:52:52 PM swojcik We have to have anything hot, not edible (like glue, paint) supervised. and when the residents start to come for their meal we have to pack it up and tell everyone your done.
2018-07-19 06:52:54 PM jessicas I don't have anything else! Thank you
2018-07-19 06:52:57 PM tajk333 I think I am set, great talk!
