2020-02-13 07:19:44 PM francine Sounds like fun Kathy but the majority of the residents are female and the males we do have are like hermits. They get up to eat & smoke then sleep. The females are not interested in sports at all here
2020-02-13 07:19:50 PM ibouchard wii can be rather challenging but fun
2020-02-13 07:19:58 PM tammiehall25 we also have a bowling "league"....they play on sundays....

2020-02-13 07:20:08 PM kamron87 most of my residents are in their 80-90s, we only have a few in their 50s or 60s, i guess it depends on what they are all interested in. Mine love to go shopping but our van is only bigenough for 2 wheelchairs, makes it hard
2020-02-13 07:20:14 PM kathyhughes Thats too bad Francine....
2020-02-13 07:20:16 PM cindyloucattell enter the chat room
2020-02-13 07:20:47 PM kathyhughes Our ladies attended for the snacks and would do crafts on the other side of the room
2020-02-13 07:21:31 PM francine That's why i'm making the Cincinnati Reds opening day for the males only. I'm trying to get them more involved
2020-02-13 07:21:50 PM kaylenbaringer my men like to play poker and drink coffe
2020-02-13 07:21:57 PM jcullum It's hard to get men involved
2020-02-13 07:21:57 PM quiana thats cool francine
2020-02-13 07:22:11 PM kathleenk Its very hard
2020-02-13 07:22:12 PM rachelwalbridge we generally have a mens group lead by a male volunteer
2020-02-13 07:22:12 PM tammiehall25 We are seperated this week (flu outbreak) everyone has to stay on their own unit.....we have unhappy campers! :)
2020-02-13 07:22:23 PM cindyloucattell We have very few men in our facility

2020-02-13 07:22:39 PM catherinemello ltc and short term men not so much
2020-02-13 07:22:45 PM cassandras Our men are mostly priests and they like to pray most of the day and stay to themselves so it's hard to get men involved too:/
2020-02-13 07:22:45 PM vanessawatson enter the chat room
2020-02-13 07:22:46 PM rachelwalbridge they visit with them solo a few times to build raport and then its easier for hte men to acccept the group
2020-02-13 07:22:49 PM richelle70 We have the flu also. No Valentines party for us

2020-02-13 07:25:38 PM kathyhughes They would help us set up for activities, they would take cards around for residents to sign, they helped with the garden, they were very active
2020-02-13 07:25:43 PM quiana we have a good mens group as well, our Rehab director runs it
