2014-05-22 06:37:25 PM annm211 that you can't fix stupid...
2014-05-22 06:37:32 PM shartman Thats a good idea too! If they are able to fill it out. I know some are not very cognativly intact! But i should look into that and see if I can let some fill it out on arrival to the facility!
2014-05-22 06:37:33 PM tonyap1 I DON'T HAVE HELP IT IS JUST ME
2014-05-22 06:38:13 PM sbond108 I know how you feel Annmarie - my residents are the same way , I try to remind them in the beginning that this a place for compliemnts and concerns
2014-05-22 06:38:22 PM sbond108 I think it is starting to atch on lol
2014-05-22 06:38:24 PM laura71982 that is a smart idea. have the more cognitive ones fill out the forms. that woulod save s omuch time.
