2019-07-02 06:32:01 PM kathyhughes OK...I know that there are plenty of facilities out there in the dark ages with no drinking policies but as activity professionals we need to adapt and there are plenty of drinks one can have that do not contain alcohol

2019-07-02 06:32:07 PM aclady that sound like a good idea

2019-07-02 06:33:06 PM jess27 My residents can have wine etc but they just love soda more i think its because the kitcen gives them like no name brand and we give out like real coke or diet coke.!
