2019-06-27 06:32:32 PM kimranck The staff does enjoy having fun with the residents, especially the staff that dont get much interaction with the residents.
2019-06-27 06:32:39 PM wilmaholt I am trying very hard to replace some of the bingo that we have which is 4-5 times a wk but the residents do not want to get rid of it
2019-06-27 06:33:04 PM marshallp HA HA good luck with that
2019-06-27 06:33:06 PM biancosherri This way the residents can see a department head once a week for 2 months and enjoy getting to know them
2019-06-27 06:33:07 PM larnesonmoody We have all kinds of activities for staff! We have a themed day each day for Nursing Home Week where you dress up and eat themed food (with teh residents), etc. And for CNA week we do a big BBQ and a water fight in the courtyard with water balloons (and the residents watch and tell you who to hit - LOL). IT's great.
2019-06-27 06:33:08 PM kathyhughes Well Wilma first you pay them to play Bingo so you have to pay them for another activity
