2019-01-15 07:51:43 PM foram23 lol
2019-01-15 07:51:43 PM suzanne I believe the residents are willing to try just about anything that stimulates them and gives them human connections.
2019-01-15 07:51:47 PM 12716937 Cute story!! I would have burned the cookies too. I am not the best at baking
2019-01-15 07:51:56 PM trinawh i've cut way back on the food with them because a resident who was on puree was given popcorn. i worried all night about her!
2019-01-15 07:51:57 PM meredethc We ae so lucky that most of the residents have senses of humor
2019-01-15 07:51:58 PM tinabaisley They love the short stories
2019-01-15 07:52:01 PM ashleymp they will try anything
2019-01-15 07:52:11 PM mpace My Cooking classes are fun, I pick things that have mulitple steps, so everyone has a step to complete, measuring, cracking eggs, pouring, stiring I have my partner read a paper of the history of what we are cooking
2019-01-15 07:52:15 PM hjrhiel Its amazing how residents love trying and laughing with you
2019-01-15 07:52:20 PM sgross That rightsuzanne
2019-01-15 07:52:28 PM trinawh in another facility they discontinued the food stuffs because a resident actually died from it
2019-01-15 07:52:28 PM foram23 how many times a month you do cooking class???
2019-01-15 07:52:35 PM alexisl learned alot of them like banana bread making
2019-01-15 07:52:35 PM lhahn once a week
2019-01-15 07:52:39 PM kathyhughes Are there any questions that I missed tonght?
2019-01-15 07:52:40 PM 123sharonj Our members are always so thankful I just love them all
2019-01-15 07:52:41 PM arthurashley we don't do cooking class at all they have never had an interest
2019-01-15 07:52:45 PM kaylenbaringer omg i would be paranoid to no end!
2019-01-15 07:52:46 PM hjrhiel once a week for us
2019-01-15 07:52:47 PM meredethc i want to start a cooking class so badly! our clincal approach is changing drastically so i am thinking i shoul wait
2019-01-15 07:52:48 PM christinag We cook at least twice a week. One for small group and one as a large group
2019-01-15 07:52:58 PM alexisl kathy did you get my email
2019-01-15 07:53:00 PM sgross me too no stove
2019-01-15 07:53:08 PM mecaylaholmquist I worried about my purees too. But I have learned that If I smash a cookie into dust and put it into vanilla pudding, the resident loves the effort i put in into including her in the snacks
2019-01-15 07:53:09 PM 123sharonj they do love making food items
2019-01-15 07:53:10 PM tinabaisley does the final include all 16 weeks or just last 8
2019-01-15 07:53:11 PM kathyhughes Alexis I will have to check
2019-01-15 07:53:12 PM arthurashley Kathy, am i still able to turn in my sensory planning tools? I turned in 1 of each on mistake nstead of 6 tital
2019-01-15 07:53:16 PM cynthiacharlton I had a learning experience this week. I had to get my volunteers to fill out an volunteer application and other forms and run a background check on them. It's required for all senior facilities.
2019-01-15 07:53:17 PM foram23 i have never done but need now
2019-01-15 07:53:19 PM trinawh yes no stove, no sink
2019-01-15 07:53:21 PM alexisl ok thank you
2019-01-15 07:53:24 PM kathyhughes Just the last 8 weeks
2019-01-15 07:53:34 PM tinabaisley thanks
2019-01-15 07:53:41 PM kathyhughes Yes Ashley you can
2019-01-15 07:53:51 PM ashleymp how to you divide tasks when cooking for large groups?
2019-01-15 07:53:51 PM arthurashley Thank you, I apologize
2019-01-15 07:53:52 PM mecaylaholmquist My HR person runs the background checks, I just talk to the volunteers
2019-01-15 07:53:56 PM suzanne We don't have a kitchen to use. We've tried "mock" cooking with mixed results. Most of our residents have limited mobility and staff ends up doing the majority of it.
2019-01-15 07:54:11 PM hjrhiel how many times a month do you have music things
2019-01-15 07:54:12 PM trinawh i got a great volunteer then i told her we had some positions open in the kitchen and in housekeeping. she got hired on in housekeeping! so now i'm back to no help lol
2019-01-15 07:54:18 PM mpace like one time we did cucumber tomato, feta snacks, one person had to peel cucumbers, other one had to cut cherrie tomatos, then we stacked them and another person put the toothpick in them to keep them together
2019-01-15 07:54:21 PM sgross Thank you everybody for a lovely evening. It was great with all the ideas, stay safe with the snow.
2019-01-15 07:54:35 PM lhahn i appreciate all of the great ideas and suggestions everyone!
2019-01-15 07:54:35 PM mecaylaholmquist Putting on the gloves is the hardest part for some residents
2019-01-15 07:54:42 PM christinag You can do smores popcorn, just add chocolate and marshmallows
2019-01-15 07:54:47 PM foram23 no snow here but freezing cold
2019-01-15 07:54:48 PM arthurashley i hear there is a bad storm coming! STAY SAFE
2019-01-15 07:54:48 PM 12716937 Kathy, do you usually grade assignments at the end or beginning of the month for the paced course?
2019-01-15 07:54:55 PM ndindaspada No snow in CA but it is raining cats and dogs
