2018-12-11 07:31:05 PM kathyhughes I would check with your librian who might be able to find a braille Bingo card for you
2018-12-11 07:31:07 PM malloryjbean We bought a set through S&S. I played the song and the residents had to identify the music and mark it off their card
2018-12-11 07:31:08 PM schweitzerkl thats a good idea antoinette
2018-12-11 07:31:18 PM marshallp same here kaylen
2018-12-11 07:31:25 PM acorman That sounds fun
2018-12-11 07:31:29 PM lmiller3 Music Bingo...You put words on cards and then play 30 seconds of a popular song and each song "calls" a word or two.
2018-12-11 07:31:30 PM molleem We have a great outreach librarian, I will have to check in with her.
2018-12-11 07:31:30 PM kathyhughes the local librarian has lots of resources for you

2018-12-11 07:31:45 PM chavanna1 I am a C.N.A as well but I do not have to get on the floor and help. We are assigned to help with meal pass and I understand that but because that role is hourly I am not allowed to work it or they would have to pay me hourly for that day and that would be more than what they want to pay
2018-12-11 07:31:47 PM lhahn music bingo sounds fun!
2018-12-11 07:31:47 PM kimmy There a couple ways, but you play music and if they get the song and have on their card, they place a chip on it till someone has BINGO.
2018-12-11 07:31:48 PM trinawh we have skilled, rehab, dementia, long term. it's hard to keep everyone straight some days lol

2018-12-11 07:35:26 PM katlynk Bingo is every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for us. Our problem is that we have about 15 diehard bingo players and a lot of other residents that are not interesting or unable that can not participate in the activitiy. It leaves our halls full of those that have nothing else to do.
2018-12-11 07:35:28 PM molleem I'm adult day so M-F.
2018-12-11 07:35:30 PM kaylenbaringer weekends are pretty easy for me we have church sat and sun and then bingo or a craft

2018-12-11 07:36:26 PM almak I used to work from Tuesday to Saturday but from last month with new director job i am off every weekend

2018-12-11 07:37:47 PM kaylenbaringer my director leaves saturdays open on the monthly calander other than bingo or crafts and church and she lets me filll in the blank time with what i want =)

2018-12-11 07:37:50 PM arthurashley left the chat room
2018-12-11 07:38:02 PM chavanna1 Resident Volunteers are wonderful. When we are not able to call bingo the President of Resident Council does it for us

2018-12-11 07:38:58 PM wanzaella thats nice kathy
2018-12-11 07:39:15 PM trejodavid321 volunteers really come in handy although they may not be there the whole day it gives you sometime to do something else that needs to be done
2018-12-11 07:39:16 PM lmiller3 Since I am by myself I feel guilty I can't be in 3 places at once.
2018-12-11 07:39:16 PM cmccoy the name tags are what we have
2018-12-11 07:39:19 PM bjholmes1 enter the chat room
2018-12-11 07:39:22 PM malloryjbean We have a resident volunteer. We had to care plan him calling bingo, and have him sign a form acknowledging his volunteer position as unpaid
2018-12-11 07:39:29 PM kimmy How does everyone who have volunteeres, draft them?

2018-12-11 07:39:49 PM katlynk Other staff expectations can be a problem when they do not truly take the time to understand our day and responsibilities.
