2014-05-06 06:12:50 PM onelliaad oh debbiie that's so cute
2014-05-06 06:12:56 PM lindayoung1964 wish our director would go fishing

2014-05-06 06:13:25 PM johndavid hiya aj!
2014-05-06 06:13:26 PM onelliaad yes picnics
2014-05-06 06:13:27 PM jackieo we live by the beach, so we go to the beach shell hunting and walking in the water and sand barefooted.
2014-05-06 06:13:28 PM nans ours are to low functioning to go fishing
2014-05-06 06:13:36 PM nancy623 for those who cantfish its ok to make a decorated wall of summer and behind it fake fishwithlines and clothes pin
2014-05-06 06:13:38 PM sibarra80 but what about the ones that doesnt have high functioning
2014-05-06 06:13:39 PM kerrid My facility is super weird about "outings"........
2014-05-06 06:13:44 PM kathyhughes You can fish at the facility
2014-05-06 06:13:45 PM ccarroll1 jealous! i wish i could take my residents to the beach
2014-05-06 06:13:52 PM kerrid they don't like us planning them
2014-05-06 06:13:55 PM onelliaad how Kathy?
2014-05-06 06:13:56 PM jenniferr I have so many that want to go fishing but limited space bus and staff assistance for the day
2014-05-06 06:14:02 PM kerrid How?
2014-05-06 06:14:05 PM monicac Seriously. The beach sonds great!
2014-05-06 06:14:06 PM ccarroll1 why is your facility weird about outings? due to the cost?
2014-05-06 06:14:17 PM nans we do the fishing game and trivia and now with the Wii
2014-05-06 06:14:21 PM kathyhughes You can use a kiddie pool and make your own fishing poles from dowels, string and paper clips
2014-05-06 06:14:29 PM ajlamb A plastic swimming pool, fishing poles with magnets
2014-05-06 06:14:31 PM ccarroll1 well what you do is schedule 2 fishing trips & rotate out the residents who go
2014-05-06 06:14:32 PM debbie134 That works. The Wii is a great activity tool
2014-05-06 06:14:36 PM lindayoung1964 we are going to walmart tommorrow and eat at subway
2014-05-06 06:14:36 PM ajlamb Yes, like Kathy said!
2014-05-06 06:14:37 PM onelliaad that's awoseme
2014-05-06 06:14:42 PM tubbsretricia Kathy I lik hat Idea
2014-05-06 06:14:55 PM kathyhughes we would put things in the pool and they would spend hours trying to catch the Mardi Gras beads
2014-05-06 06:14:56 PM johndavid i may have to try fishing with the residents
2014-05-06 06:15:00 PM kerrid More or less the staff to accompany the outings....we are always understaffed. Volunteers work, but they require NA's to go and since they usually can't "spare" one....
2014-05-06 06:15:02 PM 040965 for my higher functional, I take them bowling
2014-05-06 06:15:19 PM kerrid Bowling would be awesome!
2014-05-06 06:15:24 PM onelliaad i love to go to the lake
2014-05-06 06:15:25 PM nancy623 just think outside the lake,what could i do to bring the fish feeling to them
2014-05-06 06:15:30 PM 040965 they really like it.
2014-05-06 06:15:35 PM nans do they use the stand for the balls
2014-05-06 06:15:36 PM kimholbrook We filled a pool one time and had boat races with toy boats
2014-05-06 06:15:36 PM ccarroll1 really? maybe you can talk to the DON in advance and ask that one be scheduled with adequte notice
2014-05-06 06:15:40 PM jenniferr I have probalby 50 people that would want to go fishing and we would have to go a distance. Our first fishing trip is end of the month
2014-05-06 06:15:40 PM kathyhughes bring in a fish
2014-05-06 06:15:42 PM jackieo we have trip days every Wednesday
2014-05-06 06:15:42 PM tubbsretricia dancin is what our reidets like with stroll like
2014-05-06 06:15:45 PM sibarra80 since Im in vegas they love going to the casinos
2014-05-06 06:15:55 PM 040965 some do others stand.
2014-05-06 06:15:59 PM nancy623 nice sibarra
2014-05-06 06:16:00 PM ccarroll1 OOOOOO my residents would LOOOOOOOVE a casino
2014-05-06 06:16:00 PM debbie134 We ask for a volunteer from the CNAs. Usually each one will volunteer once a year. It is really nice of them to do it.
2014-05-06 06:16:21 PM onelliaad I want to go to outings. but my facility doesn't allowe us
2014-05-06 06:16:27 PM nancy623 we have to bring a RNonthe tripin case theres a big issue
2014-05-06 06:16:33 PM jenniferr ahh jackieo i'd love your facility
2014-05-06 06:16:37 PM sibarra80 why is that onelliaad
2014-05-06 06:16:41 PM monicac My residents love outingsany chance they get
2014-05-06 06:16:55 PM ccarroll1 well we are awaiting our state survey and found i have a staff going out of town leaving us short handed at a BAD time, i feel so fortunate that I had 5 volunteers willing to work days so generous of them
2014-05-06 06:16:55 PM kathyhughes We also had very large clear plastic containers that we would fill with water and take room to room to those that liked to fish
2014-05-06 06:16:58 PM lindayoung1964 it is my understanding that it was there right to go out
2014-05-06 06:17:04 PM jackieo we are about 4 hours from casinos in louisanna, residents are always wanted to do overnights there. We go about 1-2 times a year
2014-05-06 06:17:07 PM jenniferr ahh..mine would love the casino too
2014-05-06 06:17:09 PM kimholbrook My residents would go every day if we could
2014-05-06 06:17:13 PM nancy623 or one could have a fishfry for there residents
2014-05-06 06:17:14 PM ajlamb Our facility allows outings, but never has a CNA to spare. Which I feel we need to do outings. They ALL need assitance in the restroom, transfering, etc.
