2020-03-17 06:01:20 PM emilyac It's so hard to explain what's going on- it's a delicate balance between understanding the seriousness of the situation without causing panic, you know?

2020-03-17 06:08:58 PM jjmiller227 Memory care we had green necklaces and cupcakes. Able to meet with few to do St. Pat's trivia, blessings and word search
2020-03-17 06:09:21 PM jennifervasquez15 For lunch our chef made a "Beer Cheese" Soup for St Pattys lol
2020-03-17 06:09:31 PM sfox0341 Stay social distance apart
2020-03-17 06:09:32 PM jenniferslockbower we also had green shamrock papers and went room to room asking each resident to tell us what they are lucky for and wrote them down on them

2020-03-17 06:10:14 PM tiffanyd 1:1 with every resident has been interesting. i get to bond better with some and others refused visits
2020-03-17 06:10:16 PM dani Our room is still open with restrictions. Residents have to be six feet apart so that limits how many we can have in at a time.
2020-03-17 06:10:20 PM torijarrett enter the chat room

2020-03-17 06:23:50 PM patricia5 get one big poster board and tape indivudual cards on it so its like one huge card they each could be responsible for one decoration also to place on this huge card
2020-03-17 06:23:55 PM jjmiller227 Video message is a great idea!
2020-03-17 06:24:15 PM dani To add to Fox's idea, we could make a video blog with the resdients sending personla messages on video to them.
2020-03-17 06:24:16 PM sfox0341 We have been doing them and they love it
2020-03-17 06:24:18 PM torijarrett oh I like that too!
