2018-09-18 06:26:58 PM alejandra95 group activities and share memories
2018-09-18 06:27:02 PM darleensunter haha Laura I had to train my brain that way...remember when it was look it up in the dictionary
2018-09-18 06:27:09 PM rwwright18 I just messaged my DIL and her class is going to make thank you cards for me.
2018-09-18 06:27:17 PM jpitrone5 and then alot of them were unable to particpate because of declining
2018-09-18 06:27:26 PM sarahaltavilla I want to do it with residents that have moved to different facilities..
2018-09-18 06:27:27 PM cparece I see a lot of act. directors talk about the pen pal program but how does the whole thing work?
2018-09-18 06:27:38 PM sarahaltavilla people miss their absence
2018-09-18 06:27:53 PM jessicaw87 im intrigued about the penpal program as well

2018-09-18 06:28:27 PM cparece thats great!
2018-09-18 06:28:36 PM sarahaltavilla even 3 weeks I think would be meaningful to some...
2018-09-18 06:28:39 PM erinc how often do they write
2018-09-18 06:28:47 PM paulathessen true
2018-09-18 06:28:54 PM cynthiacharlton that a great idea especially for those that don't have family support.
2018-09-18 06:28:54 PM ksutlief i don't want to totally change the subject, but we do service projects. Does anyone have an idea for october?
2018-09-18 06:28:58 PM rwwright18 What is the best age student for pen pals?
2018-09-18 06:28:59 PM kathyhughes Each month the residents would write the kids and then the kids would send a card by the end of the month...this went on the entire school yea
2018-09-18 06:29:01 PM nchacon05 pen pals goessssss wayyyyyyyyyyyyy backkkkkkkkkkkkk
2018-09-18 06:29:04 PM kathyhughes year
2018-09-18 06:29:09 PM elaine They liked stage door canteen and other Bob Hope type military shows
2018-09-18 06:29:11 PM jpitrone5 its hard for my residnets to write too so it was difficult
2018-09-18 06:29:15 PM conniefellers I think Im going to shoot for getting the boy scouts to my facility.
2018-09-18 06:29:21 PM jpitrone5 maybe kids to residents might be a better route
2018-09-18 06:29:29 PM alejandra95 oh wow really i didnt know about that sounds like a good program
2018-09-18 06:29:47 PM paulathessen It worked well for awhile with a brownie troop, they grew up LoL
2018-09-18 06:29:48 PM sarahaltavilla well all i can do is try... fingers crossed!
2018-09-18 06:29:53 PM juliet16 Our penpal program is usually 6th grade students they write to the residents
2018-09-18 06:30:04 PM tashapetit penpal program sounds great
2018-09-18 06:30:05 PM alejandra95 yes thats true most of them can not write anymore or be able to understand their writting
2018-09-18 06:30:24 PM heatherr are you looking for a community service type project?
2018-09-18 06:30:26 PM kathyhughes We had a group of residents who helped each other
2018-09-18 06:30:30 PM ibravo0788 hi sorry i was having issuse with connections
2018-09-18 06:30:31 PM cparece That's awesome! you can always sit with residents to help

2018-09-18 06:30:42 PM kathy52 our boy scouts always come and put up our christmas tree in our court yard
2018-09-18 06:30:47 PM conniefellers I love the penpal program but I don't have any long term residents who can write on their own. Do you think it would be as effective if we did a group letter back and forth?
2018-09-18 06:30:47 PM mariaslayton left the chat room
2018-09-18 06:30:48 PM mariaslayton enter the chat room
2018-09-18 06:30:49 PM kathyhughes and those that could write would write the cards for those who could not.
2018-09-18 06:30:57 PM cynthiacharlton left the chat room
2018-09-18 06:31:07 PM kathyhughes Thise who could read would then read the cards to those who could not
2018-09-18 06:31:09 PM paulathessen that works
2018-09-18 06:31:10 PM alejandra95 very true ... team work
2018-09-18 06:31:11 PM juliet16 They also come to our facility to meet the resident that they wrote to we also serve a special lunch and they will eat together.
2018-09-18 06:31:14 PM ibravo0788 i just read back and looved this idea
2018-09-18 06:31:16 PM acorman Thats a great idea
2018-09-18 06:31:20 PM cparece Group letter would be great as well just as fun to give and recieve!
2018-09-18 06:31:22 PM kathyhughes I had 5 residents who would volunteer to help with the program
2018-09-18 06:31:23 PM sarahaltavilla I think any communication is helpful...people need eachother!
2018-09-18 06:31:33 PM mariaslayton Sorry the communication failed here at the Library.......I don't have internet at home. But I am now I am back Lol.

2018-09-18 06:32:09 PM conniefellers I thnk I'll try the group letter approach and see if I can get a local classroom to participate with us.

2018-09-18 06:32:40 PM sarahaltavilla art, words...anything...think of how you love to get meaningful mail not a bill or an add... brings a smile
2018-09-18 06:32:42 PM tashapetit i will bring the idea of penpaling to my boss

2018-09-18 06:38:42 PM conniefellers Relative to the pet projects, it is very easy to braid fleece into individual dog toys. Plus they are also a good tartar remover for dogs.
2018-09-18 06:38:44 PM paulathessen Having Chinese take out for dinner Thursday for those that want it, had a great turn out last time!

2018-09-18 06:39:44 PM jessicaw87 for an mc unit I actually put together an art program that was pretty successful. I put tape on blank canvases and let the residents splash whatever colors they wanted. they didnt have to know how to paint or even have steady hands and when we were done i pulled off the take and it looked like an abstract painting that was painted that way on purpose
2018-09-18 06:39:46 PM alejandra95 yes ususally my coworkers pain the nails and i just do the designs
2018-09-18 06:39:51 PM rwwright18 Flags huh? Ill have to practice that one.

2018-09-18 06:40:31 PM alejandra95 haha leaves ?
2018-09-18 06:40:33 PM jpitrone5 it feel like it is hard to get them to paint sometimes

2018-09-18 06:43:44 PM tashapetit we did the family tree also, and the residents loved it.
2018-09-18 06:43:46 PM paulathessen I use branches and attach leaves with messages on colorful yarn in vases
2018-09-18 06:43:47 PM alejandra95 we are all getting so creative
2018-09-18 06:43:47 PM ibravo0788 i like that center pices just for the dinning rooms?
2018-09-18 06:43:52 PM elaine Residents wrote what they were thankful for on leaves then we posted them on the wall.
2018-09-18 06:43:57 PM ymartinez I do the same juliet16
2018-09-18 06:44:01 PM conniefellers a thankful tree is a branch that you hang paper leaves on with things people are thankful for
2018-09-18 06:44:14 PM alejandra95 ohhhh okay yes we have done that before
2018-09-18 06:44:18 PM kathyhughes A thankful tree is a construction paper tree and each leaf is posted on the tree with what people are thankful for
2018-09-18 06:44:20 PM heatherr I created the tree with crinkled paperbag on the wall. Then cut leaves on the cricut machine. Residents decorated thema and wrote three things that their thankful for. I then glued them on the tree. Some I even made falling
2018-09-18 06:44:21 PM ksutlief Oh hey, I just thought of something new I am going to do this year. You know how it is sometimes difficult to get the care staff on board with stuff. I bought an inexpensive little chalkboard decorated for fall. I am going to write "I am thankful for (insert caregiver name)" and change it up every day.
2018-09-18 06:44:23 PM acorman Creative thatnks to pintrest :)
2018-09-18 06:44:31 PM paulathessen yes, some take them to their rooms so make extra
2018-09-18 06:44:33 PM kathy52 the residents get to right what they are thankful for and we put it on the tree as leaves
2018-09-18 06:44:38 PM tammymccombs what a lot of good ideas
2018-09-18 06:44:39 PM alejandra95 and a center piece is a good idea we have been having the same flowers for 2 months now
2018-09-18 06:44:53 PM laura54 I was thinking that would be great fpr Thanksgiving
