2019-04-23 06:07:42 PM kathyhughes And why do you need theme days?
2019-04-23 06:07:49 PM cab0029 Hi everyone actually I am not in charge of nursing home week that is the nursing directors responsibility and for national nursing home week its the responsibility of all the directors to run activities that week
2019-04-23 06:07:59 PM tracyanderson You can always ask the residents for theme ideas - includes them too- keeps things rolling and fun
2019-04-23 06:08:13 PM csheehan beacsue they are fun!
2019-04-23 06:08:15 PM catherinemello theme days are something fun and different and give staff a chance to de stress from the regular work
2019-04-23 06:08:17 PM lynn1 We only do theme days for National Skilled nursing week. May 12-17
2019-04-23 06:08:21 PM ronda Our admin dept is over that at our facility
2019-04-23 06:08:30 PM shirley12 It is FUN! The decorations, themed food, dressing up.
2019-04-23 06:08:37 PM hmorris theme fosters community
2019-04-23 06:08:40 PM csheehan they also encoruage particapation i think with fun tufits and help to recall specific memories

2019-04-23 06:09:59 PM cab0029 I only know about the theme days because corporate says thats how they want the week to go. Theme days are fun I use themes for every month to make the ideas easier to plan
2019-04-23 06:10:04 PM kathyhughes Just wondering about those theme days because it should include all of the residents and staff
2019-04-23 06:10:14 PM tracyanderson We've been making papercraft type gift cards for different seasons - these would be great to give to attending nurses from residents with a personal note
