2014-03-13 06:20:48 PM bdappert thankfully
2014-03-13 06:21:01 PM nansullivan it's always a fine line between sugar and no sugar
2014-03-13 06:21:01 PM stacels709 yeah, thankfully
2014-03-13 06:21:03 PM ssdietary On year we had someone dress up as the Easter bunny and they had thier picture taken with them under a garden arbor
2014-03-13 06:21:03 PM kathyhughes I know...and the residents way back when would sign a release and that worked for then
2014-03-13 06:21:04 PM ssactivities no but its amazing how many diabetics are in rehab for health issues
2014-03-13 06:21:08 PM scalabrese i have noticed that what they have on a regular basis is way worse than what we give once in awhile
2014-03-13 06:21:30 PM pramos good point Scalabrese
2014-03-13 06:21:32 PM bdappert the picture idea is a cute idea
2014-03-13 06:21:33 PM nansullivan That's for sure scalabrese.
2014-03-13 06:21:33 PM kathyhughes great idea
2014-03-13 06:21:59 PM gleblanc use fake sugar instead.. if its the residents choice why not, give their wants once in a while
2014-03-13 06:22:01 PM nansullivan I missed the picture idea...
2014-03-13 06:22:04 PM kathyhughes and I think there are photo props for Easter to take photos of the residents
2014-03-13 06:22:12 PM stacels709 My father in law was just discharged from rehab after back surgery and they checked his blood sugar everyday and put him on a diabetic diet. I didn't know he was even a diabetic

2014-03-13 06:22:17 PM kathyhughes Pictures with the Easter Bunny
2014-03-13 06:22:26 PM nansullivan Oh, thanks.
2014-03-13 06:22:30 PM scalabrese think about it, we have rehab residents who leave and go out, we know some drink but thats probably worse for them than a sugary mocktail
2014-03-13 06:22:44 PM ssactivities well our facility is small so I'm involved with all
2014-03-13 06:22:55 PM stacels709 We have an Easter bunny costume and luckily my assistant loves wearing it because I won't!
2014-03-13 06:22:56 PM kathyhughes Thats why those drops are great
2014-03-13 06:22:57 PM nansullivan I love pictures with the Easter Bunny. So cute when a resident hugs the bunny man.
2014-03-13 06:23:03 PM ssdietary It was a great costome and then activites had them framed and put in thier rooms-we also e-mailed them to the pictures to the family members.

2014-03-13 06:41:22 PM ssdietary I'm glad my staff is out smoking at the dumpster or in the court yard.

2014-03-13 06:43:35 PM scalabrese hey we all have our vices. we are a smoking facility residents and staff have to use designated areas outside. nobody is allowed to smoke inside.
2014-03-13 06:43:44 PM nansullivan It's perfectly legal if you state such in your literature and insure they understand when they are admitted, no smoking.
