2014-04-24 06:03:16 PM nicoleb I was thinking a red white blue drink and some snacks and we could take about memories of personal or family that was in the military
2014-04-24 06:03:17 PM ltimlin May is done. We always have an indoor BBQ on the Friday before
2014-04-24 06:03:19 PM sbond108 uh nursing home week ... my director was not very prepaired
2014-04-24 06:03:22 PM heatherleex3 were doing a different theme everyday for what rhode island stands for and what we represent
2014-04-24 06:03:25 PM ajlamb BBQ's are a classic!
2014-04-24 06:03:26 PM kathyhughes Hey Laura
2014-04-24 06:03:43 PM sbond108 I told her to contact the hula dancer ect ect 4 weeks ago and she just called her TODAY .. so clearly she is busy and cant come
2014-04-24 06:04:09 PM kathyhughes that happens
2014-04-24 06:04:23 PM annm211 you're not gonna hula, Steph? lol
2014-04-24 06:04:33 PM kathyhughes I always went for including the theme into the regular activities
2014-04-24 06:04:44 PM laura71982 for nursing home week we are doing a resident/staff contest each day plus ice cream social and cocktail party
2014-04-24 06:04:48 PM joan14 left the chat room
2014-04-24 06:04:49 PM annm211 that's my plan.. I'm sticking to the Aloha theme
2014-04-24 06:04:54 PM dbrewer so do you do monthly themes
2014-04-24 06:05:08 PM ajlamb That is a good idea Kathy. The residents enjoy anything we do, making it too complicated for ourselves just adds to the stress!
2014-04-24 06:05:19 PM heatherleex3 we do daily themes
2014-04-24 06:05:28 PM annm211 we usually have a luau in late summer so this will take the place of it & I can plan a different theme for later in the summer
2014-04-24 06:05:30 PM kathyhughes right
2014-04-24 06:06:05 PM annm211 I have lots of supplies already.. got the marguarita cups last year!
2014-04-24 06:06:21 PM kathyhughes so we would have hula for ecxercise class, hawaiian recipe for cooking and show Blue Hawaii for the Movie of the week

2014-04-24 06:06:48 PM sarah11393 thats neat. i like the daily themes
2014-04-24 06:06:49 PM laura71982 not to change the subject but, i have a question for everyone. If you have volunteers in the building do you need to get them back ground checked and finger printed?
2014-04-24 06:06:51 PM pramos Hello everyone
2014-04-24 06:06:53 PM sandraguajardo hi

2014-04-24 06:07:19 PM laura71982 ok so finger prints aren't nescessary?
2014-04-24 06:07:22 PM annm211 they have to go through an orientation
2014-04-24 06:07:22 PM sarah11393 we dont do backround checks
2014-04-24 06:07:23 PM kathyhughes Never did buy into the go all out for NNHW
2014-04-24 06:07:31 PM sarah11393 but orientation...yes
2014-04-24 06:07:36 PM sbond108 And they do a general orientation as well as an activities orientation
2014-04-24 06:07:38 PM sarah11393 and interview..
2014-04-24 06:07:40 PM annm211 keep it simple silly! :)
2014-04-24 06:07:52 PM kathyhughes Background check would be for volunteers who are unspervised
2014-04-24 06:08:04 PM sbond108 Assited Living Week was crazy when I worked at Brandywine
2014-04-24 06:08:26 PM laura71982 oh ok thank you kathy. otherwise you don't have to have a background check or finger prints?
2014-04-24 06:08:46 PM kathyhughes right that was my policy
2014-04-24 06:08:56 PM laura71982 thank you. you put me at ease.
2014-04-24 06:09:01 PM kathyhughes and I would write the policy as easy as I could
2014-04-24 06:09:04 PM annm211 I have a ? I am a COTA/L licensed in Mass. bt since I am not using that license for this job can I be an AD in any state

2014-04-24 06:09:17 PM kathyhughes Yes you can Annmarie
2014-04-24 06:09:23 PM laura71982 ok thank you
2014-04-24 06:09:38 PM kathyhughes There are facilities that have complicated policies
2014-04-24 06:09:38 PM annm211 you can't believe how you just made my night!
2014-04-24 06:09:39 PM sbond108 what is a COTA/L? Is that occupational?
2014-04-24 06:09:45 PM kathyhughes thanks

2014-04-24 06:09:52 PM annm211 OT assistant
2014-04-24 06:10:09 PM annm211 I didn't know that, :)
2014-04-24 06:10:11 PM sbond108 Okay cool thats what I thought
2014-04-24 06:10:45 PM sarah11393 Does anyone's director let them do calenders? or do resident interviews? because our boss just started letting us do that
2014-04-24 06:10:58 PM annm211 I went to Mass. because I thought I had to, but I commute an hour a day each way and some days I shake my head at the stuff that goes on at work
2014-04-24 06:11:22 PM laura71982 i let my staff help with resident interviews.
