2019-02-12 07:29:33 PM christinag I got the shot! Every year.
2019-02-12 07:29:36 PM khostetler We hire someone to clean and maintain our tank and have an auto feeder. A family donated our tank and fish and when their loved one passed away they stopped caring for the tank :(
2019-02-12 07:29:41 PM kathyhughes we also had bread makers and would fry onions and mushrooms
2019-02-12 07:29:46 PM rrobinson oh great idea, Kathy!
2019-02-12 07:29:49 PM liliana i am curious about that too if you have pets at the facility who takes care of them?
2019-02-12 07:29:49 PM cab0029 Do some light research so you can tell the residents what the oils are for I just use a difusser right now but others use cloths that they can hold up to their nose. Safe ones are usually lemon and peppermint. Lavender is usually okay to for most people. All of this canbe bought at walmart for fairly cheap
2019-02-12 07:29:52 PM johannamccargish Oh yumm
2019-02-12 07:29:53 PM kaylenbaringer we just got a bread maker donated to us!

2019-02-12 07:30:03 PM ssdavis right makes since
2019-02-12 07:30:04 PM dmitry23 I think that this is a good idea with aromatherapy, but it would be nice to confirm with products corresponding to this smell.
2019-02-12 07:30:04 PM kaylenbaringer i have never used one before so Im nervous about trying it out
2019-02-12 07:30:07 PM wallingmisty A bread maker wouold be awesome
2019-02-12 07:30:13 PM vgrenier2019 yes aromatherapy doesnt have to be oils I bake bread in a bread machine sometimes and the smell brings everyone out to see whats going on

2019-02-12 07:33:01 PM fmonsivais enter the chat room
2019-02-12 07:33:05 PM chastitymurphy we would use bread makers on our dementia unit for the appetites.

2019-02-12 07:33:18 PM cab0029 I wonder if my work would be okay with naturally scented lotions I do hand massages but I am allergic to almost all chemical scents so I have to get unscented hypoallergenic lotions when I do this activity

2019-02-12 07:38:42 PM trinawh LOL my manager doesn't care about the microwaved popcorn becuase he doesn't want to spend $$ to fix the fancy popcorn machine
2019-02-12 07:38:52 PM catherinemello happy hour would not be a good idea at many facilities, i worked at a place that had a high percentage of residents with alcohol induced dementia or just former alcoholics
2019-02-12 07:39:02 PM clcroom Mix and Mingle for dementia? What is that?
2019-02-12 07:39:04 PM ssdavis or cheese puffs if not popcorn

2019-02-12 07:39:26 PM clcroom Cheese puffs for mechanical soft
2019-02-12 07:39:32 PM rrobinson catherine mello, yeah i think it just depends on your facility's population and diagnoses

2019-02-12 07:40:32 PM rgierhart We are waiting on our karaoke machine to be purchased, we'd love to do a "karaoke night" and make the room like a dive bar with mocktails and o'douls.
