2014-04-10 06:07:48 PM sbond108 When I worked for Brandywine Senior Suites they had someone come in , but honestly it wasnt any different than what we already did
2014-04-10 06:07:58 PM kathyhughes Exercise programs
2014-04-10 06:08:01 PM jackietate Hello, just home from work
2014-04-10 06:08:24 PM dbrewer Sittercise or Dancing through the Decades
2014-04-10 06:08:33 PM golden93277 are you just trying to do something different for exercise?
2014-04-10 06:08:35 PM sbond108 Silver Sneakers is a sernior health program out here in Philly - you can hire them to have someone come in and do different health related groups - tai chi, yoga, stretch groups
2014-04-10 06:08:36 PM aholscher Wow. I mean, I get that we can do exercise, but there's no way anyone's activity staff is as well trained as someone who specializes in arthritis, parkinsons, etc.
2014-04-10 06:08:39 PM kathyhughes We would do exercise during regular programs as my residents weren't interested
2014-04-10 06:08:54 PM sbond108 Personally I dont use them
2014-04-10 06:09:06 PM laura71982 i really reccomend zumba. My residents love exercising to music!
2014-04-10 06:09:12 PM gleblanc one of our participants daughter is yoga instructor, she comes every other week to teach yoga for free
2014-04-10 06:09:18 PM kathyhughes I might have PT or OT teach the staff
2014-04-10 06:09:19 PM aholscher Mine like the zumba and pilates too
2014-04-10 06:09:24 PM pammcmackin alot of my residents are in in wheelchairs so we hit a ballon with nerf noodles
2014-04-10 06:09:38 PM aholscher We don't have PT or OT. We are very small
2014-04-10 06:09:49 PM sbond108 PT did a an inservice with my staff and heped us develop a program
2014-04-10 06:10:03 PM ssdietary We have in house PT and OT do that stuff
2014-04-10 06:10:03 PM pammcmackin we have ot ,pt and restorstive
2014-04-10 06:10:10 PM annm211 I use the Ageless Grace playing cards and some music..
2014-04-10 06:10:13 PM sbond108 aholscher you might be able to reach out to a local university that has a program and see if they can helpp
2014-04-10 06:10:22 PM kathyhughes good idea

2014-04-10 06:10:57 PM laura71982 just out of curiosity how many evening programs does everyone have?
2014-04-10 06:10:58 PM jackietate Our residents don't get into the dance thing so giving our exercise a new name like "move it or lose it" help to get them interested and they love contest..
2014-04-10 06:11:04 PM kathyhughes We would sneak in a 7th Inning stretch during programs
2014-04-10 06:11:10 PM heatherleex3 we have one every night of the week
2014-04-10 06:11:21 PM annm211 not nearly enough I think.. 2 a week for now

2014-04-10 06:12:14 PM kathyhughes I always asked them at Resident Council
2014-04-10 06:12:25 PM sbond108 Our residents we so adverse to exercise but we finally got them realy into - we can them an incentive -- if they attend a certain amount of exdercise programs they get a certificate after that f they attend 10 more we give them a work out towel
2014-04-10 06:12:26 PM pammcmackin good idea

2014-04-10 06:27:01 PM aholscher but it's "too expensive", of course
2014-04-10 06:27:02 PM annm211 you can probably rent one from the ambulance co. they usually have activity vans
2014-04-10 06:27:03 PM kathyhughes and the residents
2014-04-10 06:27:24 PM annm211 not real expensive either
2014-04-10 06:27:26 PM scalabrese we have our own van which holds 5 people and 1 wheelchair but we share a bigger bus that holds 4/5 chairs and 8 people between 4 facilities
2014-04-10 06:27:38 PM sbond108 We have a really good indoor flea market we take them too 2x a year

2014-04-10 06:27:49 PM sbond108 but trips are so hard with my guys lol
2014-04-10 06:27:50 PM kathyhughes I would put together a proposal and do some presentations at Legions and the Rotary Clubs
2014-04-10 06:28:14 PM annm211 do you have a marketing person at your facility?
2014-04-10 06:28:15 PM sbond108 thats a good idea ... woudl they donate even if you are for profit?
2014-04-10 06:28:21 PM kathyhughes they are always looking for community programs
2014-04-10 06:28:27 PM ssdietary There are services out there that will provide transportation
2014-04-10 06:28:31 PM kathyhughes they don't need to know that
2014-04-10 06:28:34 PM pammcmackin about 5 of my residents go to church outside the facility and that church is regar to help
2014-04-10 06:28:39 PM sbond108 i think im lost lol

2014-04-10 06:29:08 PM sbond108 when I worked for Bradywine they had a "limo" which was just a towncar and we would drive 4 residents to church every week lol we also had a bus
2014-04-10 06:29:12 PM kathyhughes People don't realize that facilities don't make a profit
2014-04-10 06:29:22 PM 123027 i'm lost with you turtle friend

2014-04-10 06:29:33 PM scalabrese it is horrible having to share. the facility the bus is at all the time will cancel on us if an appointment comes up instead of making other arrangements. "appointments are priority over your outing so you may have to cancel"
2014-04-10 06:29:37 PM pammcmackin make ends meet would be nice'
2014-04-10 06:30:06 PM kathyhughes I worked at a small Adult Home and we raised money to rent a limo to go see the Christmas lights
2014-04-10 06:30:14 PM scalabrese and they will do this the morning of a scheduled outing

2014-04-10 06:30:45 PM sbond108 they dont try to keep appointments for the morning only? 've one that before
2014-04-10 06:30:48 PM kathyhughes Those folks could get around
2014-04-10 06:31:03 PM 123027 just trying to keep up. :)
2014-04-10 06:31:07 PM sbond108 I used to have to drve the bus for appoinmnet at my last job ... so they could only schedule appts between 8 am and 11:30
