2019-04-09 06:28:07 PM beapowell1 i set up the dinning like a really bingo hall
2019-04-09 06:28:13 PM christina83 Our store is small but they love it. We sell soda and snacks for .50 and it pays for itself. We also put a varity of independent activities on the cart to have as desired. Only soda and snacks costs the .50 everything else we supply
2019-04-09 06:28:13 PM chastitymurphy our catholic church has recently started donating prizes that we incorporate into our bingo games, the residents love them
2019-04-09 06:28:19 PM angelaawaters I did the dollar for bingo for Christmas Store. But could work year round
2019-04-09 06:28:28 PM brydentammyyahoocom yeah
2019-04-09 06:28:31 PM dianeg One time we gave the residents butter knives to cut with lol it didn't go over well. The sharp knife would have been better
2019-04-09 06:28:49 PM liliana we dont have much stores here in town just a dollar general
2019-04-09 06:28:50 PM chastitymurphy we use our main dining area for activities as well
2019-04-09 06:28:51 PM kathyhughes We had them wash their hands at the table with warn washcloths, soap and water
2019-04-09 06:29:06 PM brydentammyyahoocom good
2019-04-09 06:29:06 PM kathyhughes they each got a ziplock bag
2019-04-09 06:29:11 PM johannamccargish Baby wipes would be good too
2019-04-09 06:29:11 PM myersc they love the little store, everything from snacks to little nick nacks or seasonal decorations
2019-04-09 06:29:16 PM christina83 We have an activity area connected to our dinning room
2019-04-09 06:29:18 PM wallingmisty Ok thanks
2019-04-09 06:29:20 PM vgrenier2019 we also do a trade option for people that do not like the prizes offered 5 bingo bucks can be traded for one real dollar
2019-04-09 06:29:21 PM faithburns89 enter the chat room
2019-04-09 06:29:25 PM beapowell1 Yes thats what i do and have them were hair nets and glovers
2019-04-09 06:29:26 PM kimranck That is always the challenge. I have them wash their hands and put gloves on when they are at the table. Then watch, watch, watch that they dont lick their fingers, ect. If so we change the gloves.
2019-04-09 06:29:39 PM yscott enter the chat room
2019-04-09 06:29:44 PM mindyyoung1978 a small cooler with warm soapy waterand washcloths works great.
2019-04-09 06:29:56 PM karleeturcios95 We wear gloves the whole time! and chef hats and aprons!
2019-04-09 06:29:58 PM brydentammyyahoocom same here
2019-04-09 06:29:58 PM beapowell1 ok
2019-04-09 06:30:03 PM christina83 Good idea.
2019-04-09 06:30:09 PM wallingmisty Thank you all
2019-04-09 06:30:10 PM cassandras The problem with the gloves is it takes some residents SOOO long to get them on, and then they eat the dough or lick their fingers. Ugh.
2019-04-09 06:30:13 PM angelaawaters Like the chef hat and apron
2019-04-09 06:30:22 PM brydentammyyahoocom yeah

2019-04-09 06:30:54 PM christina83 I am lucky to have the space.
2019-04-09 06:30:57 PM kimranck You can always have the resident make their own item to eat. That way if they did lick their fingers it is not a problem.
2019-04-09 06:31:00 PM ndindaspada We make ice cream or banana boats and its "you touch it - you eat it" works fine - set up a round table and make and eat our own staff

2019-04-09 06:41:15 PM angelaawaters Cards is a tuff one
2019-04-09 06:41:34 PM rachelmuldner I have a resident who carries cards around with her every where, but she can hardly get people to play.... although it isnt because she is rude
2019-04-09 06:41:35 PM angelaawaters Maybe a board game instead>
2019-04-09 06:41:36 PM shirley12 I did. I tried hard. But alas it did not work out.
2019-04-09 06:41:46 PM myersc yeah getting a card club" has been hard...either someone is rude or some play a little different (possibly forget) and they make up rules
2019-04-09 06:41:48 PM kathyhughes I would guess that it is someone who wants to play Bridge
2019-04-09 06:41:52 PM amyc84 we are having issues with residents in our dining room being disruptive during activities
2019-04-09 06:42:02 PM chavisheather815 i noticed the last activity director at one of my jobs would tell me whenever she would play uno with the residents they would get into arguements about the game
2019-04-09 06:42:04 PM macariar i wish our residents wanted to go to casino i love going we have one an hour away from where we live in Eagle Pass

2019-04-09 06:43:08 PM kathyhughes I would give the residents 2 warnings and on the 3rd warning they were removed from the activity
2019-04-09 06:43:10 PM cassandras I used to play chess with a resident every week because no one else would play with him. It was great bonding time!
