2019-03-19 06:32:38 PM virginiamooney Its a nice moral booster
2019-03-19 06:32:39 PM stefaniemaatta its nice to provide meals and see staff get involved
2019-03-19 06:32:42 PM iarygarcia @hmorris that's our goal also.
2019-03-19 06:32:43 PM kathyhughes I just wonder why we go crazy during that week and if you actually accomplish what it was designed for
2019-03-19 06:32:50 PM amyc84 to do an event that combines both staff and residents as one
2019-03-19 06:33:01 PM brydentammyyahoocom its a hectic week
2019-03-19 06:33:06 PM stefaniemaatta very hectic
2019-03-19 06:33:11 PM virginiamooney agreed
2019-03-19 06:33:13 PM brydentammyyahoocom but it does work for most of the week
2019-03-19 06:33:17 PM macariar tell me about it
2019-03-19 06:33:17 PM kathyhughes Why??????????????????????????????
2019-03-19 06:33:19 PM biancosherri My goal is to make them remember things from childhood and promote happiness
2019-03-19 06:33:28 PM delmore10 The goal is for the residents to appreciate the nursing staff that week because they tend to think of them as "just workers" or "I'm the reason they get a paycheck" so it gives them more appreciation
2019-03-19 06:33:29 PM shannoncross2018 I include staff in all of our parties to build moral
2019-03-19 06:33:31 PM patriciab We try to keep most of our activities consistent since that's the preference of the residents. We've introduce new activities before, however, they tend to prefer familiarity.
2019-03-19 06:33:33 PM faithburns89 then the appreciation of the residetns because without them we wouldnt bew here and to bring the staff and residents together (the connection)
2019-03-19 06:33:37 PM briscoem left the chat room
2019-03-19 06:33:38 PM juarezamber yes but like some websites jjust get me thinking "theres really a national holiday for that" lol
2019-03-19 06:33:39 PM brydentammyyahoocom everyone is having fun
2019-03-19 06:33:44 PM briscoem enter the chat room
2019-03-19 06:33:51 PM steph18 i asked bCK IN JANUARY IF WE COULD DO SKILLED NURSING HOME WEEK BUT IM NOT SURE IFF WE ARE
2019-03-19 06:33:58 PM kathyhughes And do the other departments do activities and celebrations for that week?????
2019-03-19 06:34:10 PM briscoem left the chat room
2019-03-19 06:34:12 PM saraj6090 nope
2019-03-19 06:34:13 PM stefaniemaatta it shows appreciation and i like how more staff will be more involved in activities
2019-03-19 06:34:13 PM biancosherri No
2019-03-19 06:34:16 PM briscoem enter the chat room
2019-03-19 06:34:19 PM clcroom not in my facility
2019-03-19 06:34:19 PM bailey good point not at all here
2019-03-19 06:34:20 PM khostetler It falls on us to do a majority of the activites
2019-03-19 06:34:21 PM briscoem left the chat room
2019-03-19 06:34:22 PM stefaniemaatta somewhat
2019-03-19 06:34:24 PM virginiamooney It's like the holidays, you want everything to go so perfect. You put alot of pressure on yourself. Other departments join in if we feed them. lol
2019-03-19 06:34:24 PM hmorris Once its all said and done and things go back to normal, the important thing was to make lasting memories for residents, staff, family, and community.
2019-03-19 06:34:25 PM brydentammyyahoocom unforchinly no
2019-03-19 06:34:25 PM amyc84 my whole facility is helping
2019-03-19 06:34:29 PM delmore10 Yes, mine does an all around building celebration where everyone participates
2019-03-19 06:34:32 PM briscoem enter the chat room
2019-03-19 06:34:39 PM lisenbeeviolet i got in this classs to help make a better activities program for the residents in my facility
2019-03-19 06:34:40 PM shannoncross2018 It builds a bond between staff and residents for residnets to see the lighter side of stff and for staff to spend actual time with the residents with out the hustle and bustle
2019-03-19 06:34:45 PM brydentammyyahoocom its put on activities
2019-03-19 06:34:45 PM kathyhughes Then as Skilled Nursing Home week all should be doing something....not just activities
2019-03-19 06:34:53 PM tessa1 It is fun to have the entire buiding get involved
2019-03-19 06:35:01 PM brydentammyyahoocom i agree
2019-03-19 06:35:07 PM virginiamooney true
2019-03-19 06:35:09 PM christinag I wish our facility would do stuff for the week. I think it's been put on the back burner this year though
2019-03-19 06:35:10 PM stefaniemaatta I am making sure all of my IDT team is involved which will help
2019-03-19 06:35:13 PM traciewiggins110770 Yes
2019-03-19 06:35:17 PM brydentammyyahoocom yes if they partivipate
2019-03-19 06:35:26 PM steph18 is it only activities that take place in skiiled nursing home week or are the other depts do something as well??
2019-03-19 06:35:28 PM christinag the CEO of the company is coming for a visit at the end of this month, and thats occupying everyones minds
2019-03-19 06:35:33 PM iarygarcia i like the idea of visiting a different country everyday that week... maybe get the staff involved that are from different areas around the world. have music and dancers from that area. a presentation...etc.
2019-03-19 06:35:37 PM hmorris We all got the different departamnets inolved for activities week. made a competition out of it too and they all had a great time
2019-03-19 06:35:39 PM bailey thank U Kathy Hughes
2019-03-19 06:35:39 PM saraj6090 I try to get the staff involved. wanted to do a talent show. NOOOOOO GOOOOO!!!! the staff wanted to but the powers above us said no.
2019-03-19 06:35:40 PM delmore10 I use my calendar to spread the word but I do the planning throughout the facility to make sure everyone participates
2019-03-19 06:35:40 PM tessa1 i think all "activities" fall on the activities dept. i say if it is a grey area it is usually an activities problem
2019-03-19 06:35:49 PM patriciab I think our activities are geared more towards enjoying the present. Most of the residents tend to forget. They rely on long term memory.
2019-03-19 06:35:53 PM brydentammyyahoocom yes
2019-03-19 06:35:56 PM lisenbeeviolet im going to suggest doing something for skilled nursing week, i hope she doesnt shoot me down.
2019-03-19 06:35:56 PM brydentammyyahoocom it is
2019-03-19 06:36:03 PM faithburns89 yes the do the rehab department pitch in plus the Don is always helpful with gift idea and the supplies marketing lady is just amazing... with helping with the decorations and games we play are hiliarious the residents always get a good laugh
2019-03-19 06:36:05 PM briscoem Yes it will be activities department at our comunity also
2019-03-19 06:36:07 PM kathyhughes So I would suggest that you make a list of activities that other depts can do and give out the list to each dept head and tell them which day they are in charge of
2019-03-19 06:36:11 PM myersc Usually for skilled nursing week, activity week, housekeeping etc etc. the company pays for lunch..wether its pizza or something else they bring food in for the dept
2019-03-19 06:36:23 PM brydentammyyahoocom great idea
2019-03-19 06:36:25 PM stefaniemaatta yes perfect
2019-03-19 06:36:26 PM briscoem good idea
2019-03-19 06:36:28 PM saraj6090 Another great idea Kathy...

2019-03-19 06:36:35 PM bailey Sounds like a plan
2019-03-19 06:36:45 PM delmore10 That's a good idea, thank goodness my administrator is extremely involved and always wants to help me with things like that

2019-03-19 06:42:23 PM faithburns89 but if i were playing like they do i would definetly be super alert...becuase i love playing at our christmas parties its just calling it out lol but i always have a little lady to help me..she passes me the bingo letter/#'s it helps keep her occupied... she doesnt understand bingo due to her diagnoses so this is a way to help keep her active in bingo but also being social
2019-03-19 06:42:29 PM iarygarcia or... we could dress up some of the residents as local celebrities... and have them pretend while they called out bingo???
2019-03-19 06:42:40 PM kathyhughes They were local celebrities...I am sure that you have someone in your community that is a celeb
2019-03-19 06:43:13 PM macariar not really but we had the mayor here one time
2019-03-19 06:43:16 PM kathyhughes Sure but the point was really to have the other Departments become involved
2019-03-19 06:43:18 PM juarezamber i want to do something like bring in San Antionio collage football players but idk what
2019-03-19 06:43:18 PM steph18 im not sure if we have any local cels in my area
