2014-03-04 07:05:36 PM bwaddail Oh and just recently one of our care staff found a game where the residents can help an avatar wash their hair pick out clothes and other ADL'S
2014-03-04 07:05:46 PM nans this week I like the interviews
2014-03-04 07:05:47 PM kathyhughes I would say that you need internet access, a projector and a device to show the movies
2014-03-04 07:05:51 PM bwaddail I'll have to ask her the name of it
2014-03-04 07:05:54 PM lindayoung1964 WE DO THE SAME BUT OUR VCR HAS MESSED UP SO PROBABLE WONT BE ABLE TO FIND ANOTHER
2014-03-04 07:05:54 PM ltimlin I think I am doing well in class, and I actually like having a dead line. Never thought I would, but I do
2014-03-04 07:05:57 PM aleciathornton The activity planning. Im very interested in 1:1's
2014-03-04 07:06:05 PM sheilab70 that would be a great game to have
2014-03-04 07:06:07 PM elizabethwoosley You can go netflix.com and sign up. For $8.53 a month you can get one DVD at a time or the streaming services through wifi. Or a Wii if you have one.
2014-03-04 07:06:11 PM kathyhughes I would ask around Linda

2014-03-04 07:06:54 PM nans they have some great stories

2014-03-04 07:07:05 PM bwaddail Depending on how motivated your home health companies are they might even provide a free I pad
2014-03-04 07:07:07 PM aleciathornton They realllly enjoy the personal time. Makes them feel like you're just hanging out.. which it should
2014-03-04 07:07:21 PM elizabethwoosley But, you could use a small dvd player and run it on a tv on the floors. It wouldn't have to be a large program. Maybe rotate through the floors?
2014-03-04 07:07:26 PM tubbsretricia yes and the attention is the best
2014-03-04 07:07:32 PM janice13 the residents are different when it is just you and them
