2019-05-07 05:57:46 PM karlyz So after MEPAP1 you are APC certified? But have to take MEPAP2 to get ADC certified? My supervisor said I only needed MEPAP1 to "qualify for my position". However I am a Wellness/Activity Director. So a little confused.

2019-05-07 06:18:51 PM csheehan Last year we planned a day at the beach. I found a bunch of old video clips of the jersey shore and played them. We also had boardwalk fries made for a snack. I brought in cool sea shells to pass around and read about jersey shore history. I then asked about their trips to the sore
2019-05-07 06:19:18 PM daniellesitzer Always bring refreshments with me depending on the diet of the resident
2019-05-07 06:19:18 PM pattym right sand boxes, shells, paint, coloring supplies, sights and sounds of the shore sea scapes
