2019-06-06 06:14:26 PM kimranck I have a man that attends most trips and always holds the door for us. He enjoys being the doormanl.
2019-06-06 06:14:30 PM tiffany85 We have had corn hole tournaments for the men. We serve non-alcholic beer
2019-06-06 06:14:34 PM dashby there are actually 2 men that join in on our activities
2019-06-06 06:14:37 PM kathyhughes So I would ask the men to come to activities to help us out
2019-06-06 06:14:46 PM lhahn thats a good idea
2019-06-06 06:15:06 PM melodywhipple we have setup mini golf before
2019-06-06 06:15:07 PM dashby im working on it!
2019-06-06 06:15:21 PM marshallp I work at a post acute care facility
2019-06-06 06:15:22 PM lhahn how did you do that melody?
2019-06-06 06:15:51 PM marshallp and most men do not attend most activities
2019-06-06 06:16:07 PM tonjarobles Thats awesomne would love to know as well melody
2019-06-06 06:16:14 PM chitwoodm1 any food activities men love!
2019-06-06 06:16:15 PM dashby left the chat room
2019-06-06 06:16:20 PM marshallp They prefer to watch TV
2019-06-06 06:16:28 PM melodywhipple i have large plastic golf clubs and i painted large coffee cans that lay on their sides; the men like to try to hit the ball from their w/c
2019-06-06 06:16:36 PM dashby enter the chat room
2019-06-06 06:16:44 PM kathyhughes I would tell them that the boss wanted me to have more people at the activities and if they could help me out by coming to an event
2019-06-06 06:16:49 PM kimranck Thats sounds like fun.
2019-06-06 06:16:56 PM melodywhipple tape down the coffee cans too
2019-06-06 06:16:56 PM marshallp They will however attend soe social events with food
2019-06-06 06:17:00 PM lhahn great idea melody! I will have to try that
2019-06-06 06:17:00 PM kathyhughes Once they were there they would come again to help me
2019-06-06 06:17:15 PM tonjarobles That's awesome
2019-06-06 06:17:23 PM marshallp social events
2019-06-06 06:18:11 PM marshallp Thanks Melody
2019-06-06 06:18:14 PM tiffany85 Sometimes small group activities work better for the men... they seem more open to socialize with just a few others
2019-06-06 06:18:19 PM kathyhughes This is what we figured out...many of the men in the facility were married and their wives dictated their social life...now that they were widows and living in the facility they did not have someone to encourage them to attend
2019-06-06 06:18:24 PM lhahn i agree tiffany
2019-06-06 06:18:24 PM kimranck Maybe start a mens group and ask them for suggestions on activities.
2019-06-06 06:18:34 PM kathyhughes so we would not ask them to attend we asked them to help us out
2019-06-06 06:18:38 PM marshallp hmm
2019-06-06 06:18:40 PM marshallp ok
2019-06-06 06:18:41 PM kathyhughes and it worked most of the time
2019-06-06 06:18:50 PM melodywhipple ahhh never thought of that
2019-06-06 06:18:53 PM lhahn I will have to try that
2019-06-06 06:19:01 PM tonjarobles we will have to try that too
2019-06-06 06:19:13 PM juarezamber Yes iv noticed if you ask them for help instead of participate they are more willing
2019-06-06 06:19:19 PM kathyhughes We had most of the men doing volunteer work for us...some would deliver the mail, one guy liked to shovel the sidewalks
2019-06-06 06:19:23 PM chitwoodm1 also discussion groups about hunting, fishing, war, cars
2019-06-06 06:19:27 PM kathyhughes some would show movies for us

2019-06-06 06:25:49 PM kathyhughes We made placemats with the activities on them and games, connect the dots, name that something or other puzzle games that they could do while waiting for lunch
2019-06-06 06:26:04 PM kathyhughes Do you all work on the 4th?
2019-06-06 06:26:04 PM kimranck Good Idea
2019-06-06 06:26:12 PM tonjarobles no
2019-06-06 06:26:14 PM kimranck yes
2019-06-06 06:26:25 PM lhahn we have a card board boat regatta... team members sign up in teams ans create cardboard boats...they then race them around the facility's pond while the residents watch... the residents vote for best themed boat and there is also last boat afloat and fastest vessel
2019-06-06 06:26:28 PM tonjarobles but i find them at the parade and help out there
2019-06-06 06:26:29 PM chitwoodm1 yes!

2019-06-06 06:27:21 PM chitwoodm1 were still planning the 4th
2019-06-06 06:27:30 PM juarezamber we are closed that day but i usually do events the day before major holidays
2019-06-06 06:27:39 PM marshallp Most of the time
2019-06-06 06:27:53 PM dashby working on the 4th havent decided yet but if so then I will do a cook out or them
2019-06-06 06:28:04 PM labara i will probably to horseshoes
2019-06-06 06:28:04 PM kathyhughes I think planning ahead can be less stressful when the event happens as you have had time to work out the challenges
2019-06-06 06:28:26 PM marshallp Makes sense
2019-06-06 06:28:30 PM tiffany85 I absolutely agree Kathy!
2019-06-06 06:28:34 PM melodywhipple a cook out and soda floats
2019-06-06 06:28:37 PM lhahn true
2019-06-06 06:28:37 PM tonjarobles For sure
2019-06-06 06:28:40 PM dashby very true, just sometimes doesnt work that way!! ugh
2019-06-06 06:29:19 PM juarezamber yes its sure is less stressful and at the same time anytime i throught bigger events i always get so nervous cuz i want everything to work out just right llol
2019-06-06 06:29:19 PM kathyhughes We would plan for a cook out...and invite families the weekend before...and that day we would split the time and my staff only had to work 4 hours each
2019-06-06 06:29:20 PM marshallp Dont have a lot of time to plan some events in advance
2019-06-06 06:29:33 PM lhahn thats a nice idea
2019-06-06 06:30:07 PM dashby that would be great, I know all the Dept Head people will be off
2019-06-06 06:30:19 PM kathyhughes I liked working those days!!!
2019-06-06 06:30:28 PM marshallp not a ot of time between "paper work" to plan
2019-06-06 06:30:49 PM melodywhipple the park and rec summer program kids are coming earlier in the week; i was pleasantly surprised to get their call
2019-06-06 06:30:55 PM labara holidays are fun to work, you get to see families who dont come on a regular basis and the residents are so hsppy about that
2019-06-06 06:30:57 PM kathyhughes Yes Marshall I am sure that you have lots of paperwork
2019-06-06 06:31:05 PM dashby yeah when most of the staff is off then its pretty quite
2019-06-06 06:31:08 PM marshallp We all do
2019-06-06 06:31:25 PM kimranck We always work with the dining department on holidays and plan a fun event for the residents and red,white & blue desserts.
2019-06-06 06:31:37 PM tiffany85 Do you suggest a limit to number of guests when inviting families?
2019-06-06 06:31:47 PM dashby yes Marshallp, there will always be paperwork
2019-06-06 06:31:56 PM lhahn we put 2 per resident on our invites
2019-06-06 06:31:56 PM kathyhughes I had paper work as well for the 120 residents but we all shared the load and we were able to plan ahead to make sure the activities went as we planned them
2019-06-06 06:32:00 PM marshallp (v)
2019-06-06 06:32:22 PM kathyhughes It is up to your facility Tiffany and how much then can afford
2019-06-06 06:32:30 PM juarezamber yeah i used to enjoy working holidays as well, at the place im at now we close holidays and weekends. i work at an adult day care center
2019-06-06 06:32:47 PM kimranck We need to have our calendars ordered by the 15th of the prior month so it forces you to think ahead.
2019-06-06 06:32:57 PM kathyhughes we liimited guests to 3 each resident and extra needed to let us know and pay a fee per person to cover the cost
