2018-10-09 06:24:17 PM tcrute13 Not having residents want to come out their room or participate in group activities is the MAIN reason why staff should do an activity course. That way even though they do not participate in the scheduled activity they are still active at least socially
2018-10-09 06:24:17 PM nicole1 lisabean great idea
2018-10-09 06:24:19 PM cristinahancock Put m and m in bag have them pick one out and have a poster that states red tell us something that your most proud of, blue what did you do for a living green what makes you most happy etc

2018-10-09 06:26:12 PM dashby Having volunteers come to your facilty and spend time with the residents make them feel inportant
2018-10-09 06:26:14 PM ksutlief wonder if some of us need to connect with each other. We could trade calendars and do whatever else the assignment asked for.

2018-10-09 06:26:54 PM laura54 they tossed wet tshirts in bucketts but it made everyone show up to see what was going to happen
2018-10-09 06:26:57 PM cchase why were they negative - you want to follow up on that
2018-10-09 06:26:57 PM tenabanks It's sometimes very hard to find dependable volunteers.
2018-10-09 06:27:01 PM alejandra95 we have volunteers come in too

2018-10-09 06:27:01 PM joycenam our residenst love charades
2018-10-09 06:27:03 PM lalibby do you need to have both the ss and the activites director
2018-10-09 06:27:09 PM jpitrone5 i'm trying to get independent residents to volunteer to come in to play Bridge
2018-10-09 06:27:13 PM djerome1 Ressident council can be brutal for sure but its their voices
2018-10-09 06:27:19 PM shaniekjohnson1 for the inappropriate movies we let that resident or who else want to see it watch it in the activity room

2018-10-09 06:28:27 PM djerome1 Other staff need to be invited by resident council to join the meeting, I always kick my helpers out of the room and tell them to go do 1:1 while RC is going on

2018-10-09 06:30:26 PM heatherr resident council is another one im stuggling with. It's not run at all by residents, all staff ran. The administrator feels it should be run by him. I've spoke with him about how resident council is suppose to be run but doesn't seem to want to change. Theirs no advocate for residents or anything. Not sure what to do if Admin is not on board with it
2018-10-09 06:30:27 PM norae everyone trying to get last live chat in
