2014-04-15 06:17:26 PM lisam A great idea to get residents to participate in activities is everytime they participate in an activity they receive a fake dollar. They can take their dollar or dollars to the store in exchange for something. Ex. candybar or maybe personal care items.

2014-04-15 06:25:57 PM lisab Kathy, I have a few residents that used to participate in all my activities. Now they say their tired all the time. Sometimes I can motivate them to come and then they are happy they did. I ask them what different they would like to do but they seem unmotivated. Any suggestions?
2014-04-15 06:25:57 PM ccarroll1 and the price is reasonable
