2019-01-22 07:35:14 PM malloryjbean Trina, we bought a convection oven at walmart for that specific reason! its like a large toaster over, but we can bake right in the room!

2019-01-22 07:35:36 PM christinag we have one resident who doesnt want to come out of her room
2019-01-22 07:35:39 PM chavanna1 Trinawh what about a bakers toaster oven, or a 1 burner? that is something small enough to be toted around to designated cooking area

2019-01-22 07:35:55 PM trinawh mine can't do alcohol because of possible medication interactions
2019-01-22 07:35:57 PM alexisl depends on the facility on the drinking

2019-01-22 07:36:04 PM malloryjbean We have Wii bowling!! Our residents love it!
2019-01-22 07:36:07 PM kathyhughes Mylyn the first thing I do is to check their initial Activities Assessment....many residents are loners and do not have social skills
2019-01-22 07:36:12 PM celinasherman you could do sparkling cider
2019-01-22 07:36:18 PM sgross The Wi bowling is fun
2019-01-22 07:36:23 PM kathyhughes the assessment should tell you if they were group people
2019-01-22 07:36:25 PM lhahn love wii bowling
2019-01-22 07:36:27 PM trinawh i had one resident that was convinced the bubbly apple juice was champagne and she was getting drunk!
2019-01-22 07:36:28 PM suzanne If you are able to serve alcohol for socials check your local liquor store as they have non alcoholic wine, beer and champange.
2019-01-22 07:36:33 PM meredethc we don't use alcohol unless they have a doctors order! and some of them do!
2019-01-22 07:36:35 PM tyshuna86 celinasherman yes all the time
2019-01-22 07:36:35 PM labara i do wii bowling every wednesday night
2019-01-22 07:36:35 PM kaylenbaringer we have a couple loners in my facility... they come out every now and then but dont ever come to many activities
2019-01-22 07:36:43 PM shelley we have a large blow up ball and pins, they get exercise doing this also
2019-01-22 07:36:49 PM arthurashley i like group activities
2019-01-22 07:36:52 PM shelley as do we
2019-01-22 07:36:52 PM trinawh non alcholic is a good idea
2019-01-22 07:36:54 PM malloryjbean It forever surprises me how many people have spent their entire live alone, yet their families expect them to suddenly become joiners and do every activity.
2019-01-22 07:36:59 PM foram23 i have some lones who dont come out for activitieees at all
2019-01-22 07:37:01 PM sgross Yes this is so true the participant i have are loners and want to seperate themselfs
2019-01-22 07:37:06 PM ahazlett i swear i have more loners i my building~
2019-01-22 07:37:10 PM sgross :'(
2019-01-22 07:37:15 PM kathyhughes a resident who reads, does crossword puzzles, gardens may not have social skills as thoes are all activities that you do on your own
2019-01-22 07:37:17 PM trinawh i've tried so many different things to get the men involved but no go. they won't even join my husband in activities
2019-01-22 07:37:24 PM shannoncross2018 for those that are loners do you just care plan them for independent activities?
2019-01-22 07:37:25 PM mecaylaholmquist 1:1s are my go to for the loners. i usually read or play a game with them
2019-01-22 07:37:27 PM kathyhughes I wll not be coming to your activities!!!!!!
2019-01-22 07:37:37 PM arthurashley i try to make everone happy
2019-01-22 07:37:37 PM christinag i'll probably be a loner. i like to be alone when i'm relaxing so i get it when someone doesn't want to join in!
2019-01-22 07:37:52 PM clcroom I've begun a resident welcoming commitee and that sometimes helps to break the ice with the loners
2019-01-22 07:37:56 PM sgross Today I did my best to set a time to be with each person and do something that matter to them with engagement
2019-01-22 07:38:05 PM laurendecuir love that, clc
2019-01-22 07:38:05 PM suzanne Give "loners" time, they may suprise you and start to want to see what all the fun in activities is about. It is usually not because they hate to be social, it's usually that they're scared.
2019-01-22 07:38:07 PM malloryjbean Me either!! Leave me in bed with a good book and bring me cookies/coffee!
2019-01-22 07:38:10 PM kathyhughes You address their leisure needs and interests and what you are going to do to help them spend their time meaningfully
2019-01-22 07:38:13 PM labara my pet peeve is when a family member INSISTS on you bringing their mom or dad to activities
2019-01-22 07:38:20 PM melodywhipple I make sure I stop in and make sure they have what they want for independent activities
2019-01-22 07:38:25 PM tyshuna86 foram23 ask the other residents to help you invite them out
2019-01-22 07:38:26 PM mylyn23 i did but some of them are so predictable one of our was actually love to volunteer in different community and she was good to socialized with others but somehow she hate to be around now and cranky.
2019-01-22 07:38:27 PM malloryjbean I
2019-01-22 07:38:28 PM tinabaisley i have played bingo so much told my kids to put down no bingo when i go to the nh
2019-01-22 07:38:29 PM kathyhughes Yes they do they are feeling guilty
2019-01-22 07:38:51 PM kathyhughes and I always asked them about their parents and how they spent their time
2019-01-22 07:38:51 PM alexisl lol
2019-01-22 07:38:51 PM kaylenbaringer i have a family that demands their mom goes on EVERY outing or they threaten to pull her out of our facility
2019-01-22 07:38:53 PM labara and they say "oh they will say no but bring them anyways"
2019-01-22 07:38:54 PM trinawh lol tina
2019-01-22 07:39:02 PM mecaylaholmquist i tell thm when they insist that that family member has the right t refuse themselves so please do not put words in their mouth
2019-01-22 07:39:04 PM fmonsivais Bingo is very big in our building but Bunco isnt too far behind
2019-01-22 07:39:07 PM arthurashley lol
2019-01-22 07:39:09 PM shelley we have gotten so many good ideas for one on ones in our class
2019-01-22 07:39:10 PM malloryjbean I've been finding that it is hard to change the mindset of my facility regarding meaningful activity and how that means different things to different residents.
2019-01-22 07:39:17 PM clcroom Bunco?
2019-01-22 07:39:24 PM biancosherri I agree Kathy they like to talk about their past
2019-01-22 07:39:24 PM sgross Yes address their leisure needs . I have one participant who will like to play the paino. another that like to tinker with stuff
2019-01-22 07:39:27 PM alexisl tina i don't blame you lol
2019-01-22 07:39:28 PM labara i just mention to the resident tht their child suggests they come and it woukd make them happy
2019-01-22 07:39:30 PM fmonsivais we have also started a riddle of the day game for the month
2019-01-22 07:39:36 PM labara doesnt always work but it s a nice way of putting it
2019-01-22 07:39:41 PM lhahn fmonsivais sounds fun!
2019-01-22 07:39:42 PM trinawh stuff to tinker with is a good idea
2019-01-22 07:39:51 PM kathyhughes I would invite the family and check that day if they were joining us...if not I would tell them that they had to come or mom would not be able to come as we do not have a lot of staff to help her

2019-01-22 07:41:51 PM malloryjbean I've had families review the in room calendars with their family members and had then circle the activities they discussed attending, so that we are all on the same page.
