2020-02-04 07:48:33 PM julielangenderfer I'm learning by doing and this class and boy howdy its alot of work. I've never been this stressed but its worth it
2020-02-04 07:48:38 PM avaughn My office is currently the therapy room for a lot of staff that just needs to vent. I let them vent...encourage them and direct them to express their concerns to their immediate supervisor, give them a happy snack and send them on their way. Its been a daily occurance for a few months now. I think this time of year, people just get burnt out
2020-02-04 07:48:41 PM spankylee99 Ours is not that bad, we have monthly entertainment and recognition events for our staff that helps with moral team spirit

2020-02-06 07:05:35 PM kaylenbaringer for staff.... not much =( I was just given two more daily audits to do on top of my 3 that I have to do and added daily phone calls to family and helping other departments where i can.... we are down 5 department heads and one just put in his two weeks

2020-02-06 07:06:06 PM kathyhughes We would sell Balloon Bouquets to staff and make a lot of money...we also had cards that the residents made and signed by the residents for the staff
2020-02-06 07:06:11 PM kaylenbaringer Im doing a staff potluck for black history month though!
2020-02-06 07:06:12 PM ibouchard oh yeah volunteers! i'm the volunteer coordinator for our community and also oversee the programming for our memory care units.
2020-02-06 07:06:30 PM jcullum That is an excellent idea
2020-02-06 07:06:40 PM catherinemello we might have a bake sale to fund resident council
2020-02-06 07:06:43 PM mandyo I like the card idea. I think i am going to snag that idea and us it for my residents.
2020-02-06 07:06:57 PM 123sharonj kathy I like that idea cards for staff from members
2020-02-06 07:07:00 PM rachelwalbridge we did balloons before but we have not had helium for a year. they arnt as happy with blown up bundles
2020-02-06 07:07:01 PM kaylenbaringer i like that idea also
2020-02-06 07:07:07 PM kathyhughes I had ladies that made cards 3x a week

2020-02-06 07:09:19 PM mandyo We have had to shut down our activity room for a bit due to illness. That makes it super hard to do crafting with trying to keep residents in room and not go room to room and carry a bug. Influenza is upon us
2020-02-06 07:09:29 PM kathyhughes The volunteers got a card each month
2020-02-06 07:09:29 PM ibouchard singing telegrams would be so much fun
