2019-04-02 06:43:12 PM virginiamooney (lol)
2019-04-02 06:43:13 PM danae23 I have threeresidents who have been at my facility for 18 years. The only outing they want is breakfast buffet and and gamble after!!:
2019-04-02 06:43:17 PM jamesd we have stopped and taken a few parking spaces and got ice cream rather than unload everybody.
2019-04-02 06:43:25 PM rachelmuldner We have a resident that will spend a long time at walmart, then not have enough money when she gets through checkout lol
2019-04-02 06:43:30 PM biancosherri They don't realize what they are doing tho
2019-04-02 06:43:38 PM virginiamooney So true
2019-04-02 06:43:46 PM sherryc It sounds like your residents are much higher functioning than the ones I deal with.
2019-04-02 06:43:53 PM catherinemello scenic drives on the van...great for sensory
2019-04-02 06:43:59 PM juarezamber they really dont, they are so sure it "belongs to them" lol
2019-04-02 06:44:02 PM biancosherri We have a mix
2019-04-02 06:44:10 PM kathyhughes OH Mystery Trips are fun!
2019-04-02 06:44:11 PM virginiamooney We have a variety.
2019-04-02 06:44:12 PM sherryc My population is more the scenic drive crowd
2019-04-02 06:44:21 PM jamesd i like dollar tree or kmart outings with a pizza place a few stores down....makes it simpler
2019-04-02 06:44:24 PM leahall rachmuldner I think its a walmart Lingerer in all facilities
2019-04-02 06:44:33 PM johannamccargish We have an ice cream truck that comes to the facility. the residents love it. The feel like kids again. They drive around the building with the music playing
2019-04-02 06:44:38 PM biancosherri My bus driver is no fun so a mystry trip is out of the question lol
2019-04-02 06:44:43 PM virginiamooney We do two bus rides a week. It's their favorite other than going out to eat.
2019-04-02 06:44:47 PM faithburns89 i like your mystery trip ideas you've told us about it on another chat...if was before gps lol
2019-04-02 06:44:59 PM aliciahatcher We do scenic drives, but some of our residents think we need to "end up" somewhere.
2019-04-02 06:45:27 PM jamesd What level of residents did you have for mystery trips?
2019-04-02 06:45:32 PM steph18 icecream trunk sounds like fu. i wornder if i can find one to come
2019-04-02 06:45:42 PM johannamccargish We have done Eye Spy Trip
2019-04-02 06:45:43 PM kathyhughes I had a resident get his electric wheelchair on the public bus to Walmart...he called me from there to tell me that his battery died.....no one thought he was missing
2019-04-02 06:45:47 PM virginiamooney We drive them by their old houses, where they grew up.... where they use to work.... We just go wherever they want. lol
2019-04-02 06:45:51 PM leahall Mystery Trip? more details sounds fun! I have 50 % of high function the rest are mid to lower
2019-04-02 06:45:55 PM rachelmuldner At our facility we have residents from almost completely independent to total care/bed bound and a locked memory care unit
2019-04-02 06:46:07 PM kathyhughes We had all levels of residents...we would not get off the van
2019-04-02 06:46:12 PM leahall kathyhughes WOW
2019-04-02 06:46:25 PM mloven we take the residents to local attactions. Cider mill for doughtnuts, icecreams runs, museums.
2019-04-02 06:46:27 PM sherryc I agree Alicia. We usually end up going through a drive through or stopping for ice cream (delivered to the van)
2019-04-02 06:46:31 PM karleeturcios95 me too rachel! Its hard to plan activities for all. Its just me back there

2019-04-02 06:46:58 PM kathyhughes And we would do a Left/Right (way before GPS) trips where when we got to a corner the residents had to pick left or right
2019-04-02 06:47:03 PM amyc84 we are short staffed right now and we have to watch our time, its been very stressful days

2019-04-02 06:47:42 PM sherryc I like that kathy, it encourages participation in the drive rather than just being passive
2019-04-02 06:47:43 PM kathyhughes we had to have maps with us at all times
2019-04-02 06:47:54 PM rachelmuldner I am willing to work some overtime to make sure they have activites, but they company wont allow it
2019-04-02 06:47:54 PM mloven we want to tryi a trip auntie annes pretzels this sumer. You can get a bucket of nugget pretzles for about $20. The plan is to split the bucket.

2019-04-02 06:48:02 PM johannamccargish We had a resident try to steal our van last weekend, said he was going to the liquor store!!

2019-04-02 06:49:04 PM leahall sherryc Needless to say they were fired and he had all his friends drunk

2019-04-02 06:49:38 PM jamesd that is crazy funny!!!
2019-04-02 06:49:58 PM kathyhughes I had a resident open a can of beer in the van one time when we were coming home from the Mall in a snow storm

2019-04-02 06:50:24 PM rachelmuldner I have a question for yall
2019-04-02 06:50:28 PM kathyhughes ok

2019-04-02 06:50:49 PM jamesd well, I guess it was 99 bottles of beer on the wall.......minus one!!
2019-04-02 06:50:51 PM rachelmuldner my facility allows the residents to have alcohol if they are allowed by a dr
2019-04-02 06:50:53 PM steph18 i cant wait for my other 2 floors to reopen because theose two fllors are higher functioning. im not sure if we will be doing anyone outtings for a little bit because it takes 3 people to hellp and there is one Myself and my director left in the department
2019-04-02 06:50:53 PM kathyhughes lol
2019-04-02 06:50:53 PM biancosherri Yes?
2019-04-02 06:51:02 PM johannamccargish Cross that off his bucket list
2019-04-02 06:51:06 PM rachelmuldner and we have some alcohol inspired activities this month
2019-04-02 06:51:34 PM leahall Mines too but its always like bottom shelf and low content because sometimes they tend to share with those who can not have it
2019-04-02 06:51:34 PM sherryc I was wondering about their having alcohol. I don't know the policy at my facility.
2019-04-02 06:51:38 PM rachelmuldner i recently discovered (after the calendar was made) that we have a couple residents that are recovering addicts, how should I handle this
2019-04-02 06:51:42 PM hmorris ask the nurse
2019-04-02 06:51:49 PM hmorris DON
2019-04-02 06:51:51 PM kathyhughes As the residents are in a nursing home and the liquor will be limited I would not worry about it
2019-04-02 06:51:56 PM jamesd never had a drink of alcohol so don't know what it's like....but no problem with others having theirs
2019-04-02 06:52:05 PM kathyhughes and I would look up Mocktails and then have both
2019-04-02 06:52:08 PM amyc84 we cant have alcohol in our facility
2019-04-02 06:52:13 PM leahall Mocktails are fun
2019-04-02 06:52:15 PM amyc84 we do mocktails
2019-04-02 06:52:18 PM steph18 my too we actually had one family memeber saying that her mohter could drink well we found out that wasnt true and she is a recoving alacholic... we had to make sure that all residents had a updated doctors note
2019-04-02 06:52:21 PM biancosherri Yes that is what we do
2019-04-02 06:52:21 PM rachelmuldner thats a great idea, thank you!
2019-04-02 06:52:24 PM juarezamber yes look up non alcoholic drinks so they dont feel left out
2019-04-02 06:52:34 PM danae23 My residents are allowed one beer/wine per week.
2019-04-02 06:52:34 PM virginiamooney Great idea Kathy! I love mocktails! Thats all we do... we are a dry facility.
2019-04-02 06:52:35 PM jamesd we can't have alcohol in our faith-based facility.....
2019-04-02 06:52:36 PM leahall Mocktail Mondays Sound like fun
2019-04-02 06:52:39 PM steph18 now she is alloed non acholic beveages
2019-04-02 06:52:58 PM aliciahatcher We have jsut started having mocktails. Only virgin Mimosas so far, but we're working on it.

2019-04-02 06:53:18 PM kathyhughes I had Marguerita Mix in a punch bowl for a party..no alcohol....and one resident got up the next day and told the staff that she was hung over!
2019-04-02 06:53:27 PM virginiamooney haha
2019-04-02 06:53:27 PM sherryc lol kathy
2019-04-02 06:53:28 PM steph18 we have taveren 3 days a week and the residents can have a glass before bed as long as they have a note
2019-04-02 06:53:29 PM leahall Adding it to my May calendar
2019-04-02 06:53:32 PM jamesd .....but it sounds like we're missing a lot of fun.

2019-04-02 06:54:03 PM leahall I love when they have non alcholic beverages and swear they are drunk lol. Its a classic nect day story
2019-04-02 06:54:05 PM hmorris lmao catherinemello
2019-04-02 06:54:14 PM kathyhughes But the residents can still have a Happy Hour with the Mocktails and there are a ton of them on the Internet!
2019-04-02 06:54:17 PM virginiamooney (y)
2019-04-02 06:54:19 PM jamesd you would think a 95 year old could have a drink if they wanted to......
2019-04-02 06:54:27 PM juarezamber lol i was about to sat placebo effect lol
2019-04-02 06:54:29 PM kathyhughes So any questions that I missed?
2019-04-02 06:54:38 PM johannamccargish We have a lady that wants to go run moonshine in the woods behind the facility....there are no woods..
2019-04-02 06:54:41 PM leahall Nope I think we touched all topics
