2019-01-29 06:32:55 PM msdotson36 im not in activities yet
2019-01-29 06:33:10 PM 12716937 Is everyone staying warm??? I live in WI and it is -20 to -30 this week. Schools are closed and its just horribly cold!
2019-01-29 06:33:36 PM kathyhughes They do go fast, but you are welcome to add information....and it is always full of great ideas!
2019-01-29 06:33:37 PM 12716937 This is Keytun by the way.
2019-01-29 06:33:59 PM kathyhughes I am loving this weather...it will be -20 tonight and tomorrow
2019-01-29 06:34:10 PM kathyhughes We are going out to blow ice bubbles!
2019-01-29 06:34:21 PM msdotson36 Im in Texas, we dont like that kind of weather
2019-01-29 06:34:24 PM 12716937 oh fun!
2019-01-29 06:34:39 PM msdotson36 lol...
2019-01-29 06:35:48 PM 12716937 You really like this weather, Kathy? I am not a fan....I like the warmth. I ask myself why I live in WI all the time in the winter.
2019-01-29 06:36:14 PM kathyhughes You can also throw boiling water in the air and it will instantly freeze
2019-01-29 06:36:36 PM kathyhughes I live in Syracuse NY and LOVE this weather...not a fan of heat
2019-01-29 06:36:52 PM 12716937 I will definitely be trying that. Ha! We are just the opposite!
2019-01-29 06:37:27 PM kathyhughes You can always put things on to keep warm, there is just a limited amount of things that you can take off to stay cool!
2019-01-29 06:37:34 PM msdotson36 When its hits below 40 degrees here, they just about shut the city down! lol
2019-01-29 06:37:50 PM msdotson36 you are right!!
2019-01-29 06:38:05 PM 12716937 so true.
2019-01-29 06:38:07 PM kathyhughes I believe they would shut down the entire state of Texas
2019-01-29 06:38:32 PM msdotson36 My Brother was a Green Bay Packer and we stayed in Green Bay alot! I was miserable
2019-01-29 06:39:10 PM kathyhughes Oh! Well we are big Packer Fans here!
2019-01-29 06:39:11 PM 12716937 you mean he played as a Packer???? I am a HUGE Packer fan!

2019-01-29 06:59:10 PM clcroom It was 59 here.
2019-01-29 06:59:15 PM msdotson36 Ewe would defineltly have to redirect them
2019-01-29 06:59:17 PM mecaylaholmquist Tell them I hope you have enough layers because it is -28 but the feel is -60
2019-01-29 06:59:17 PM ashleymp Definetely redirect
2019-01-29 06:59:21 PM kathyhughes Would you support the resident or the staff??? And let's just say you all have sub zero weather
2019-01-29 06:59:23 PM foram23 cover him and take him out for few mins
2019-01-29 06:59:27 PM clcroom Definatly redirect

2019-01-29 06:59:54 PM christinag We redirect in below zero weather. Other than that, we try to accomodate those who insist they want to go out
2019-01-29 06:59:55 PM tonjarobles redirect for sure
2019-01-29 07:00:03 PM clcroom Maybe have the resident by an open door or window to feel hgow cold it is.
2019-01-29 07:00:09 PM christinag Last snow storm I bundled up one resident and we built a snowman together
2019-01-29 07:00:11 PM alexisl hello everyone

2019-01-29 07:00:21 PM arthurashley hello
2019-01-29 07:00:27 PM 12716937 Bundle him/her up for sure and take him/her out. Residents are always first!!
2019-01-29 07:00:33 PM ashleymp I would say it depends on the resident how to go about it
2019-01-29 07:00:42 PM mecaylaholmquist we have a "cold" elevator that would let them feel how cold it it, but most want it to be 100 all the time
2019-01-29 07:00:44 PM adiaz i would open the door and just let enough air touch the resident and ask again if they would like to go outside
2019-01-29 07:00:48 PM lmiller3 Take them out side.
2019-01-29 07:00:50 PM ashleymp They wont want to stay outside if they feel it is that cold
2019-01-29 07:00:54 PM kathyhughes I believe that the rest of the staff would be concerned

2019-01-29 07:01:18 PM foram23 hi everyone. i have a question and i am stuck. i work in memory care with many male residents.. and i am confused about men's activities in memory care, where one goes to north and other south
2019-01-29 07:01:21 PM tonjarobles we have a tunnel between our facility and the hospital i could take them down there
2019-01-29 07:01:25 PM ashleymp Maybe let them feel the cold air through a barely opened door
2019-01-29 07:01:53 PM 12716937 Most definitely, but it is their right to do that. Whatever is safest for the resident.
2019-01-29 07:02:01 PM ashleymp But depending upon the resident I would explain its far too cold and their and my skin would suffer or redirect to something warm & cozy
2019-01-29 07:02:10 PM arthurashley Oh my.... how would you handle that? Obsiously safety first? I feel like you would hapve to compromise. If they wanted snow, can't we just bring in a box of snow for the residnets to play in? Tough question
2019-01-29 07:02:11 PM kathyhughes I would bundle them up and take them out!
2019-01-29 07:02:26 PM alexisl left the chat room

2019-01-29 07:02:56 PM arthurashley Tomorrow with the windchill they are saying -30's. Businessess and schoold are closed today and tomorrow
2019-01-29 07:03:03 PM ashleymp hah, compromise for sure. like i said they wont want to stay out too long if it is that bad.
2019-01-29 07:03:07 PM alexisl i love snow
2019-01-29 07:03:12 PM juarezamber hello everyone!
2019-01-29 07:03:17 PM kathyhughes Let's see Memory Care activities for Men.....the first step would be to see what they have an interest in and look at their initial activities assessments
2019-01-29 07:03:17 PM trinawh it's been 26 here and life keeps on rocking

2019-01-29 07:03:28 PM lmiller3 not that our residents are animals BUT...did you ever have a pet that wanted out during the cold and when you let them our they come right back in because it was a bad idea? I say let them go and help them back in.

2019-01-29 07:03:43 PM alexisl ok

2019-01-29 07:04:09 PM trinawh it's seems no matter what i do the men just won't get involved. i've tried polling them. i've tried bringing men in to do the activitiy. i've tried various activities.
2019-01-29 07:04:12 PM kathyhughes And there are lots of activities that they can do and that you can adapt
2019-01-29 07:04:24 PM mecaylaholmquist I'm starting a men's game night once a week at my work to make sure all of the men feel more imprtant and not feel left out

2019-01-29 07:04:29 PM ashleymp all he wanted to do was touch it and he would throw it out the door and laugh. he didnt want to go out

2019-01-29 07:05:22 PM adiaz i would ask like your father or relatives, to see what kind of activities they would enjoy
2019-01-29 07:05:26 PM ashleymp i have found that they enjoy assesments as much as anything else and some more so
2019-01-29 07:05:30 PM clcroom We have 1 man to every 10 women. Not all are equally capable of the same activities.
2019-01-29 07:05:30 PM arthurashley Whatever the residents ask for i do!
2019-01-29 07:05:31 PM juarezamber all they want to do is play dominos

2019-01-29 07:06:08 PM kathyhughes I had stations for them and they would have coffee and would get scratch off lottery tickets if the participated. Even Men in Memory Care know what those tickets are
2019-01-29 07:06:12 PM 12716937 My residents don't seem to mind it though. They like to get out and about most of the time

2019-01-29 07:07:46 PM kathyhughes We had a clear large jar (the one from a bar that served pickled eggs) we epoxyed a clear shot glass on the bottom and then when it was dry we filled it with water and the residents would drop a penny in it and try to get it in the shot glass

2019-01-29 07:09:54 PM kathyhughes We also built things with Legos...we would have to wash them when we took them apart...(which I had one guy that would help me do that)
2019-01-29 07:09:55 PM ashleymp where did you get the board?
2019-01-29 07:10:05 PM michaelrepinski25 if you call Home Depot they'll give you crafts like bird houses that they can make we had a big turn out

2019-01-29 07:10:12 PM ndindaspada We have that board too. They love it - but only the low functioning ones
2019-01-29 07:10:16 PM michaelrepinski25 just make sure you speak to HR
2019-01-29 07:10:20 PM kathyhughes Also look on LetGo and Facebook Market place
2019-01-29 07:10:26 PM 12716937 Anyone ever try menards?
2019-01-29 07:10:32 PM ashleymp i think i cld use both of those ideas
2019-01-29 07:10:33 PM arthurashley Facebook marketplace is nice
2019-01-29 07:10:38 PM azhia1 We have a mens group and it is pretty difficult to keep them together BUT, they are starting to get used to it slowly. some play dominoes, watch sports together with snacks. We try to keep them together into small groups so they can socialize with one another, but it is hard.
2019-01-29 07:10:41 PM juarezamber menards?
2019-01-29 07:10:43 PM trinawh great idea
2019-01-29 07:10:44 PM hjrhiel Find a eletrician or a telephone guy they are great a working with the guys and having things to fix
2019-01-29 07:10:48 PM michaelrepinski25 Menards didnt help much
2019-01-29 07:10:51 PM mecaylaholmquist I was made by the maintence men at work with wood thy had laying around
2019-01-29 07:11:13 PM arthurashley we do guy's night once a month where only guys come to the conference room and have pop, pizza and the television on. They all converse and have a great time!
2019-01-29 07:11:15 PM ndindaspada ActivityConnection.com has great activities for men. Something different every month
2019-01-29 07:11:25 PM ashleymp ah, doubt i will get one any time soon, but who knows
2019-01-29 07:11:33 PM kathyhughes I would also use the ideas that the NCCAP Pinterest Board has for Mens Activities
2019-01-29 07:11:48 PM 12716937 Darn it!
2019-01-29 07:11:54 PM kathyhughes there are a ton of ideas that would work with the Men in the Memory Care Unit
