2018-09-13 06:02:38 PM donnalova2 We do lots of fun things with the residents during November & December. Our schedule is totally differenct during these month from the rest of the year. We also have already decided how to split up the holidays so everyone has a one of them off. I'm working on Thanksgiving because our weekend person has a big family thing. I'm off the week of Christmas and will work on New Years so my boss can have that off since his family has a big celebration.
2018-09-13 06:02:40 PM pennyhunt we have started talking about the holidays already
2018-09-13 06:02:41 PM jogood look FORWARD to it without negative attutudes
2018-09-13 06:02:45 PM karenfabian we had a christmas in July holiday ornament making day - we should keep it up. They loved it
2018-09-13 06:02:52 PM tcarswell55 christmas party and decor bought last year on sale our theme is red and white pepermint
2018-09-13 06:02:58 PM marylogan enter the chat room
2018-09-13 06:03:07 PM kathyhughes I would have a group of soroity sisters come in and help wrap the residents gifts each year
2018-09-13 06:03:09 PM sburgess I like that one!! Look Forward to it.....everything always works itself out
2018-09-13 06:03:14 PM jenniferr2018 we make ornamentsfordaycare kids

2018-09-13 06:03:57 PM jackiem trying to do a calendar for the bazarr,but my team won't get it going
2018-09-13 06:04:04 PM jadams69 i have a large group of volnteers that wrap presents and decorate while they are out of school for holidays
2018-09-13 06:04:07 PM patriciabates We are planning for the holidays already, youjust have to try to keep a positive attitude
2018-09-13 06:04:14 PM donnalova2 Our residents adopted a family last year and also made cookies and care packages for the veterans at the VA
2018-09-13 06:04:15 PM jackiem we keep talking about it but it never gets started
2018-09-13 06:04:20 PM jenniferr2018 we do a bazaar inNovember
2018-09-13 06:04:24 PM kathyhughes We also would limit the number of groups coming into the facility to 2 a week
2018-09-13 06:04:41 PM jenniferr2018 yes it can be overwhelming
2018-09-13 06:04:42 PM merrinoelpeterson remember that atleast you get to go home and be with all your family on the holidays
2018-09-13 06:04:58 PM kathyhughes And we would ask each group that called to pick an additional month to come in and be with the residents
2018-09-13 06:05:05 PM jogood we have 3 different relgions
2018-09-13 06:05:13 PM kathyhughes and if they did not want to do that we would politely say no
2018-09-13 06:05:17 PM jenniferr2018 yep..best way to gettherelationship going
2018-09-13 06:05:24 PM merrinoelpeterson kathy thats a great idea that way its not just around the holidays you can stretch it out

2018-09-13 06:05:31 PM jogood but EVERYBODY gets along just fine and enjoys each others belifs
2018-09-13 06:05:42 PM marylogan Can't tell if i'm in or not.
2018-09-13 06:05:45 PM kathyhughes We would also make a list for each month that they could pick from
2018-09-13 06:05:49 PM jenniferr2018 I alsokeep all of the contacts tio approaschthem early in the fall...sothey do not do a last min.
2018-09-13 06:05:52 PM patriciabates Our Management team pulls together also to help with our big Holiday dinner
2018-09-13 06:05:52 PM donnalova2 Our department already planned the holiday schedule so everyone gets off when they want. My daughter will be coming home from Italy ( she's studing over there for this semester) in December so I wanted Christmas off. We all work together very well since it's only 3 of us.
2018-09-13 06:05:56 PM karenfabian and it gives the residents additional people to look forward to coming back in again
2018-09-13 06:06:14 PM jogood Familys come in during the holidays also
2018-09-13 06:06:19 PM jadams69 my volunteers are the teenagers that come in usually about 4 at a time on the weekend to help decorate and work the christmas party
2018-09-13 06:06:29 PM kathyhughes And they would realize that the residents are packed up and kept until next Christmas!
2018-09-13 06:06:37 PM jadams69 the residents love seeing those teenagers
2018-09-13 06:06:39 PM donnalova2 Last year we got the residents little boxes of chocolates that were already wrapped. It was so easy.
2018-09-13 06:06:44 PM kathyhughes I know that they do
2018-09-13 06:06:45 PM jenniferr2018 yep
2018-09-13 06:06:53 PM merrinoelpeterson we have the local highschool art students come in one day and paint all the windows with christmas scences
2018-09-13 06:07:16 PM jogood we decorate for all religons
2018-09-13 06:07:16 PM donnalova2 We have a party for them. We try to do it low key.
2018-09-13 06:07:17 PM jenniferr2018 donna where did you getyour chocolate..
2018-09-13 06:07:17 PM tfrost83 thats nice
2018-09-13 06:07:19 PM kathyhughes We also would only concentrate on getting gifts for residents without families
2018-09-13 06:07:33 PM jessicas OH i LOVE THE PAINTING WINDOWS IDEA

2018-09-13 06:11:09 PM karenfabian I would love to do the Santa Letter idea - intergenerational and have small kids write their letters with the residents

2018-09-13 06:11:13 PM kathyhughes and what we are planning because we do not want to be stressed
2018-09-13 06:11:18 PM donnalova2 My boss or I is always there when a group comes in. Last year we had a group that asked to come in and they basically used our community to have their winter concert. They brought all the parents and other family and took over the dining room. Leaving no room for our residents. We weren't there and found out about it on Monday. Never again.
2018-09-13 06:11:39 PM jenniferr2018 One of our ladies that just died this week told santa she alway always wanted diamnond earings...he put it on his website and he brought them to her last year before christmas
2018-09-13 06:11:53 PM jogood aawwww
2018-09-13 06:12:00 PM patriciabates Sometimes I think the better activities you plan the less stressful because you a excited for the residents reaction
2018-09-13 06:12:01 PM jenniferr2018 it was
2018-09-13 06:12:01 PM kathyhughes Correct Donna! That is why we limited it to 2 a week
2018-09-13 06:12:24 PM jogood yes their reaction is worth a 10000 words
2018-09-13 06:12:34 PM kathyhughes That great Jennifer
2018-09-13 06:12:34 PM donnalova2 I got the candy at Walmart.
2018-09-13 06:12:39 PM merrinoelpeterson patricia you are so right , sometimes our residents say that we plan all these things for us more than for them
2018-09-13 06:12:52 PM kathyhughes I would ask for donations from the groups that called as well
2018-09-13 06:12:54 PM pennyhunt sometimes it feels that way
2018-09-13 06:13:08 PM nicole1 patricia i agree

2018-09-13 06:13:20 PM tfrost83 we also have the kids from the middle school band down the road do a christmas concert for the residents they really love seeing all the kids play
2018-09-13 06:13:21 PM donnalova2 We are fortunate that all of our residents have families and the majority of them leave for the holidays or have families come in to have dinner with them,
2018-09-13 06:13:32 PM kathyhughes And we would keep it simple and not try to be too outragous with our activities
2018-09-13 06:13:46 PM marylogan It's really hard when groups just show up without calling. Several times that has happened when a group was already singing.
2018-09-13 06:13:53 PM jogood simple and elegant at the same time
2018-09-13 06:14:12 PM donnalova2 We made wreaths for everyone's doors last year. The resident made one for their door and help make ones for anyone who couldn't make one.
