2020-03-12 05:25:21 PM mmclean Today she got "walked out the building" I told her they did her a favor because she could start her new job sooner. She also told me she "heard" that the admin thought she was bluffing and she didn't have another job lined up. When I left the company, I filed a complaint, I urged her to do the same. since it seems I am the only one on this chat, I can vent.

2020-03-12 06:10:34 PM millermary8 we have tried to make our activities a little more back to back so residents don't get holed up in their rooms glued to the tv
2020-03-12 06:10:35 PM tammiehall25 games.....bingo...karaoke
2020-03-12 06:10:35 PM spankylee99 We have a special wing on our skilled unit for possible infected pt to stay for 14 days

2020-03-12 06:13:05 PM iarygarcia @miller ...i'm still creating it, but it will be several tasks on a sheet of paper, and whoever completes all of them by weeks end gets a prize (like as your DON her favorite color, ask you Administrator what month of the year he was born, find a penny, find a purple highlighter...stuff like that)
2020-03-12 06:13:20 PM millermary8 toasty at 83. and 1:1s can be draining. We found great success with making coasters with sharpies and rubbing alcohol and making cakes in mugs

2020-03-12 06:15:30 PM iarygarcia yes, that's what i'm hoping @miller... i have told all staff they are the residents' family members now...so we all need to be there for them more than ever... we are also doing a daily happy hour where our staff goes around the facility playing music and giving out trinkets and treats :)

2020-03-12 06:15:39 PM spankylee99 We had residents council meeting yesterday where the Administrator explained to the pts what the company is doing to protect and keep them safe from the virus as much as possible. They appreciated the Admin taking the time to address the situation with them
2020-03-12 06:15:49 PM ibouchard we were hoping to be able to keep some of our larger events but we have had to cancel everything. any and all activities are being held in each community. we have 6!

2020-03-12 06:16:50 PM czuniga but this too will pass
2020-03-12 06:17:01 PM tammiehall25 yes....it will pass
2020-03-12 06:17:08 PM millermary8 we are planning on doing a resident "family fued" in a similar fashion. putting a ballot box in the break room and asking staff to submit answers to silly questions. then letting the residents team up and try to guess the staff answers.
2020-03-12 06:17:12 PM iarygarcia yes...it will @czuniga :)
2020-03-12 06:17:26 PM czuniga family fued sounds like fun
2020-03-12 06:17:27 PM millermary8 and then maybe reverse it haha see if staff can guess resident answers

2020-03-12 06:19:22 PM millermary8 we used solo cups, ping pong balls, taped pool noodles along the tables so the balls don't roll off. and taped a paperbag to the table for them to scoop the balls into
