2018-10-02 05:42:24 PM kathyhughes It may seem like a sensory program, but for the assignment you need to have programs for the low functioning residents and have a goal for sensory stimulation

2018-10-02 05:58:28 PM tcrute13 aspratley Plan is to go to the dollar tree they have toys, kitchen items, candles, etc. a lot of items that can be bought. Set up in our fine dining room and let the residents come in to shop. So $1 items they can buy from 10 cents to 50 cents. Drop price just as they do in the stores. This will be their Christmas shopping.
2018-10-02 05:58:32 PM ymartinez start to decorate for christmas
2018-10-02 05:58:38 PM jpitrone5 Hi everyone
2018-10-02 05:58:48 PM ksutlief I was just going to have a regular Friday. I guess we could start decorating. That's a good idea.
2018-10-02 05:58:55 PM acorman I am interested in hearing about this! We don't do much because we care all memory care and black friday would be pretty overstimulating :)
2018-10-02 05:59:01 PM heatherr start holiday decorating and then movie. Keep it low key due to many staff being off.
2018-10-02 05:59:06 PM sarahaltavilla that is a great idea @tcrute
2018-10-02 05:59:07 PM mariaslayton I am planning to go to my son's house to spend some time with him and his wife. He works for the USA Government , Saddly , I don't see him too often.

2018-10-02 06:04:03 PM alisonk Hello everyone
2018-10-02 06:04:20 PM tcrute13 I don't either @jpitrone5. But that is why you should reach out to family/staff/volunteers. Start bringing them down early and just do your best.
2018-10-02 06:04:21 PM acorman Hi!
2018-10-02 06:04:25 PM darleensunter topic for today?
2018-10-02 06:04:57 PM heatherr i hear ya
2018-10-02 06:05:19 PM kathyhughes We are talking about what we are doing the day after Thanksgiving
2018-10-02 06:05:23 PM ksutlief rwwright, heather....I am in the same boat. The job itself leaves me pretty worn out at the end of the day. Just barely got my head above water.....
2018-10-02 06:05:23 PM sondrac we are taking our residents to the pumpkin patch to get their own pumpkins.Then we are having a pumpkin carving contest...
2018-10-02 06:05:29 PM elaine A lot of our residents don't have family to buy for and the cognitive people have family to assist with shopping.
2018-10-02 06:05:56 PM tcrute13 @heatherr we are a team and I think that is how we make it through this work together
2018-10-02 06:06:05 PM sarahaltavilla there is nothing wrong with buying a holiday tea towel for yourself...
2018-10-02 06:06:06 PM jpitrone5 we havent discussed the day after thanksgiving
2018-10-02 06:06:07 PM alisonk I haven't thought that far ahead but open for good ideas
2018-10-02 06:06:13 PM mariaslayton After the day of Thanksgiving we will have a Roundtable discussion to find out How do they feel ???
2018-10-02 06:06:26 PM kathyhughes We had a Mini Mall at the facility and invited in local small businesses to sell to the residents and staff in Dec
2018-10-02 06:06:27 PM foram23 I dont have much idea about black friday in long term care. I am kinda new. we do shop for our own
2018-10-02 06:06:30 PM ksutlief have you ever made cards where you put drops of paint at the top and then just spread it downward with a credit card. They turn out neat, so I think that is what we will do for Christmas cards.
2018-10-02 06:06:41 PM foram23 thats great idea kathy
2018-10-02 06:06:48 PM darleensunter I have ask the staff to bring in old christmas cards to recycle them for art, ornaments and decorations
2018-10-02 06:06:53 PM alisonk Many of our residents live on a very fixed income
2018-10-02 06:06:54 PM jpitrone5 we are still working on October ha ... we go by weekly calendars instead of monthly calendars. so the only time we think in advance is when booking entertainers at this point
2018-10-02 06:06:55 PM tcrute13 @mariaslayton sometimes the little things mean so much more than the bigger things
2018-10-02 06:06:57 PM sondrac the day after thanksgiving I start santas secret shpo.we take donations of gifts for out residents to purchase with the money they earn from going to activity programs
2018-10-02 06:07:07 PM parult That's good idea! for both small business and residents
2018-10-02 06:07:12 PM mariaslayton For me it is important to motivate them to be happy during this seasons, some of them don't have relatives and they could feel lonely so I will try my best to make them feel Entusiastic about Holidays !!!
2018-10-02 06:07:14 PM ymartinez thats a nice idea kathy
2018-10-02 06:07:38 PM kathyhughes We also took the items around to residents who would not leave their rooms
2018-10-02 06:07:47 PM rwilson the day after thanksgivning maybe slow due to residents being out with family, may just have a small reminsce group and a few games
2018-10-02 06:08:12 PM alisonk Maybe we will work on making Christmas cards for them to send to love ones
2018-10-02 06:08:15 PM jpitrone5 meals on wheels would be a good activity
2018-10-02 06:08:27 PM heatherr Im sorry for being debbie downer tonight everyone. I'm just slightly overwhelmed right now altogether. And to top it off my husband left last me and our seven year old twins last night. Told me he no longer wanted to be married anymore after 14 years. I'm a little bit off im sorry. I'm behind a little with last weeks assignment, and know I'm just trying to figure everything out and how im going to manage all this on my own.
2018-10-02 06:08:34 PM rwwright18 THis is really interesting. I know the schools here do a santa shop. Never thought about one for the residents.
2018-10-02 06:08:39 PM mariaslayton Also I will envolve them to WRAP PRESENTS for others.
2018-10-02 06:08:43 PM ksutlief You are right....there will be a lot of them out and also lots of visitors in the building.
2018-10-02 06:08:44 PM tcrute13 All the way I work with the busy schedule etc. is get a calendar and every day put down something that need to be done that week and get it done on the scheduled day. Plan and remember no procrasinating.

2018-10-02 06:13:40 PM tcrute13 When we play Bingo the residents win dimes and quarters. They usually say that up to buy snacks out of the activitiy room. He have a snack case in the activity room with different snack. Residents/staff/visitor buy and we use the change for Bingo.
