2019-06-04 05:37:23 PM kathyhughes I have a dear Facebook friend who starts the count down to Christmas in March! People go crazy but I think it is fun!
2019-06-04 05:37:28 PM jess27 time flys by even in the recreation department when we are all so busy! the day goes by fast.
2019-06-04 05:37:46 PM kathyhughes I enjoyed it when we were busy

2019-06-04 05:38:11 PM lmassey1 since being in activities..I am realizing that time reallllly flies lol
2019-06-04 05:38:19 PM kathyhughes It sure does
2019-06-04 05:38:38 PM faithburns89 me too...
2019-06-04 05:38:49 PM kathyhughes I crack up when people want to celebrate Christmas in July! I had just packed that stuff up!!!
2019-06-04 05:39:22 PM faithburns89 my facility i dont think has ever celebrated that i bet that would be alot of fun
2019-06-04 05:39:30 PM kathyhughes NO!!!!
2019-06-04 05:39:59 PM foxkaren It takes 2 weeks at our place just to get the decorations. They keep them in a seperate storage place. So that wouldn't work at our place
2019-06-04 05:40:02 PM kathyhughes It confuses the dementia residents and it's a challenge to take all that stuff out and then pack it up again!!!
2019-06-04 05:40:06 PM lupita enter the chat room
2019-06-04 05:40:12 PM lmassey1 I think it could be ok...but it could also be pretty confusing
2019-06-04 05:40:21 PM foxkaren amen
2019-06-04 05:40:24 PM lupita hello everyone
2019-06-04 05:40:35 PM kathyhughes We kept a tree up and decorated it for each month that was enough
2019-06-04 05:40:45 PM kathyhughes and the state thought it was cool
2019-06-04 05:41:01 PM foxkaren it's hard enough keeping up with everything
2019-06-04 05:41:02 PM faithburns89 oh... i didnt think about that im sure it would... not a good idea then huh?(v)(handshake)(:o)
2019-06-04 05:41:04 PM lmassey1 Thats a pretty neat idea
2019-06-04 05:41:21 PM dwilliams enter the chat room
2019-06-04 05:41:27 PM jess27 so like in the summer you decorated the tree with beach themed? thats really cool.

2019-06-04 05:42:25 PM foxkaren that does sound nice
2019-06-04 05:42:28 PM kathyhughes and flags with Red white and blue ribbons for June for Flag day
2019-06-04 05:42:40 PM kathyhughes The residents wanted it
2019-06-04 05:42:44 PM kathyhughes so we did it
2019-06-04 05:42:58 PM foxkaren and thats all the matters
2019-06-04 05:43:37 PM lupita kathy i have a question about my aforum assigments idk if is ipropiate to ask that here
2019-06-04 05:43:48 PM kathyhughes Whenever they thought of something we would do it so every month was an adventure

2019-06-04 05:44:05 PM kathyhughes yes this is the time to ask
2019-06-04 05:45:00 PM lupita i have no grade posted on forumassigment weel 3 and week 3 now week 3 i did send that late
2019-06-04 05:45:04 PM kathyhughes I am here early to answer questions
2019-06-04 05:45:38 PM lupita if is delate i understand, i just want to make sure am doing the rightthinghere
2019-06-04 05:46:00 PM foxkaren so basically on live chats we just talk about what we want. And if we have questions we ask? or is it because your early we are just chatting
2019-06-04 05:46:05 PM kathyhughes So it is the Course forum post? If you did not get a grade for a course forum posting you can email me...the system does not tell me when late assignments are submitted so you need to let me know
2019-06-04 05:46:15 PM julielynnmincek enter the chat room
2019-06-04 05:46:55 PM kathyhughes Because I am early I am here to answer questions...I do suggest topics but you will see that no one sticks to it no matter how hard I try
2019-06-04 05:47:11 PM foxkaren so I'm confused isn't this week one
2019-06-04 05:47:27 PM lupita yes assigment 2 was on time but not week 3
2019-06-04 05:47:35 PM lupita ok i will
2019-06-04 05:47:39 PM kathyhughes Karen....there are 4 classes here and all are at different starting points
2019-06-04 05:47:53 PM foxkaren sorry
2019-06-04 05:48:14 PM kathyhughes I tried to do different chats for everyone but I was working every night and could not spend time with my family
2019-06-04 05:48:24 PM kathyhughes they were not happy and I was exhausted
2019-06-04 05:48:31 PM lmassey1 that is understandable
2019-06-04 05:49:14 PM kathyhughes I worked 6 nights a week to have all the seperate chats
2019-06-04 05:49:34 PM julielynnmincek ms kathy i have a question that might not be related to this... if a resident is not able to get out of bed and requires 1:1 visits what if the family members are there every single day religiously and caring for the resident and playing music and brishing hair and cutting nails and so on, does that resident have to be on a 1:1 still?
2019-06-04 05:49:35 PM dwilliams i understand that and family time is important
2019-06-04 05:49:40 PM foxkaren I understand Think at one time or another we have all been there. I've been working extra hours and hubby not so understanding at times
2019-06-04 05:50:12 PM mindyyoung1978 enter the chat room
2019-06-04 05:50:34 PM kathyhughes I would document that the activities checks up on them...stating that family is very involved in providing activities for their loved one
2019-06-04 05:51:00 PM kathyhughes but we check at least once a week to invite everyone to special events and to see if they need anyting

It is up to me to make sure that you do your job. Sometimes it appears that I am not doing what you think I should do, but I am doing what my boss thinks I should do

2019-06-04 05:59:55 PM lmassey1 do any of you ever have a "problem" resident? We have one...and she comes to every single activity. I document her actions..but wondering how I can keep her from causing issues with the others.
2019-06-04 06:00:02 PM foxkaren favorite part of the day. When a resident says thank you your doing a great job. When I was off for my fathers funeral. The reception I got coming back just made me cry. The love and concern was amazing That why I do my job

2019-06-04 06:07:56 PM mschlimm1972 I LOVE the water balloon ides as well. We were trying to get transportation for our residents to attend the 4th of July parade in our community. The bus service we normally use doesn't run on the holidays.
