2019-07-23 06:04:56 PM mmhines38 oh
2019-07-23 06:05:15 PM alexiusdennis Plus fall is my favorite time of the year. We have plans to have a Fall Fest also. For our fall fest, we're planning on inviting the families of residents in. I used to be in the FFA when I was in high school, so I learned how to make Apple Cider and Apple Butter, so this year, I'm gonna teach my residents how to make it. Also we'll have pumpkin tic-tac-toe. ( x's and o'c painted on the pumpkins) We'll have a fall themed backdrop area for the residents to take pictures with their families.
2019-07-23 06:05:16 PM mnissenbaum I will try to get the Men's Club back. its hard, because I'm the only one on the facility; however, my idea is to "Pamper Day w/Movies"; I think I need to coordinate with a barber and someone that can do their nail too. at the mean time they can be watching a classic movie with drinks and snacks. Another good idea is to have a Guess Speaker, so he can talk to the resident about their life been working; for example: Firefighter or a Cop.
2019-07-23 06:05:20 PM edithscarrillo in september we will start decorating for fall

2019-07-23 06:11:25 PM csedlock86 Melissa, always make suggestions! It is easy to lose focus when you are trying to plan a lot of things to do to keep busy, and trust me it always helps to have an outside eye to help.

2019-07-23 06:13:11 PM alexiusdennis We just recently had a resident come to us from a swing bed unit. He said the difference between a swing bed unit and our nursing facility was daylight and dark.
2019-07-23 06:13:11 PM melissawebster it is basically getting the patient ready to go home to continue recovery or the nursing home it is for the longer stay of patients.

2019-07-23 06:14:59 PM mschlimm1972 one way off the top of my head would be to have photos of the cars, and or videos of cars
2019-07-23 06:15:01 PM ajgritti I have a resident who loves talking about the cars he and his friends used to own. Maybe you could start off there.

2019-07-23 06:15:10 PM csedlock86 My guys love movies, cars, and pretty women. No lie. You can use model cars instead of full size cars and do a raffle where one can win a model to take home with them (the cars that is, not model girls!)
2019-07-23 06:15:13 PM tracythomas1 You could show a video on old school cars
2019-07-23 06:15:22 PM melissawebster well the car show idea could be to offer it to everyone and wheel them out.
2019-07-23 06:15:25 PM edithscarrillo show video
2019-07-23 06:15:25 PM mnissenbaum bring videos of car shows, small collectibles cars (old kinds) probably a racing toy cars; remote control cars, etc....

2019-07-23 06:15:42 PM alexiusdennis I know it may not be as exciting as a real life car show but sometimes they have live car shows on Tv, for the men to watch. You could evem have them host their own car show! You could get the wooden cars and let the men residents paint them and then show them off and be judged. They could even make up little facts about the type of car they created and give a presentation while their car is being judged,
2019-07-23 06:15:45 PM ronda VIdeo the car show and then show him
