2014-08-13 06:07:11 PM brycegray Do you want it to have a rice harvest theme or something that celebrates your seniors/facility?
2014-08-13 06:07:37 PM anthonyalviar My plan is to ask my two residents to dress up like a scare crow. and then decorate the trailer with maple leaves, pumpkin and hay
2014-08-13 06:08:03 PM noemi senior citizens day is coming up next week any ideas?
2014-08-13 06:08:04 PM anthonyalviar We are participating on the rice harvest parade

2014-08-13 06:10:00 PM noemi thanks
2014-08-13 06:11:19 PM brycegray honestly Anthony, everything I am looking up looks similar to what you suggested (participants dressed up as scare crows)
2014-08-13 06:11:51 PM brycegray The only other idea is dressing up as farmers with overalls on
2014-08-13 06:11:54 PM brycegray Start your own Culinary Club! For ideas, try this website: https://www.pinterest.com/kmitchell1992/nursing-home-ideas/

2014-08-13 06:17:03 PM brycegray Here is a website to research crafts by materials. This is for when you have a million pipe cleaners or a hundred tongue depressors that you don't know what to do with! http://familycrafts.about.com/od/craftsbyproduct/

2014-08-13 06:21:09 PM brycegray This specific extra credit chat on internet resources is the 2nd Wednesday EVERY MONTH in the Open Discussion Room
2014-08-13 06:21:28 PM anthonyalviar jenny. what are you planning or the special event for our finals?
2014-08-13 06:21:53 PM brycegray There are a few other extra credit chats that occur each month as well: swing bed, adult day, assisted living, and home health care.
2014-08-13 06:21:55 PM jgruber85 Well I am posting in our forum for all my classmates to take advantage of this!!!
2014-08-13 06:22:13 PM anthonyalviar does the event need to be before we finish the course or it can be planned for next month?
2014-08-13 06:22:35 PM brycegray Activity Boxes that can be used by all caregivers, volunteers and families. Easy and cheap (some can be made with items around your facility) to make: https://www.alz.org/georgia/documents/activity_boxes-gems_revised.pdf
2014-08-13 06:23:15 PM noemi we are getting ready to have a huge outside enclosed space for our memory support they want us to think of some things for them to do outside like bean bag toss but i can't think of anything
2014-08-13 06:23:25 PM anthonyalviar how can you find all these great stuff in the internet?
2014-08-13 06:23:31 PM jgruber85 We are having a Summer Picnic/ Rehab Reunion. We are having our Housekeeping Manager DJ, We have about 30 Cars coming for a car show, and we are putting up some yard games that the residents can do with the staff. And after talking about water gun painting yesterday....I am in the process of getting that set up as well...haha We are grilling out for this event and enjoying some yummy rootbeer floats! How about you?
2014-08-13 06:24:48 PM brycegray I am really good at google-ing :)
2014-08-13 06:25:32 PM brycegray I would definetly suggest gardening in that space (bring the plants indoors!)
2014-08-13 06:26:27 PM anthonyalviar My plan is to participate in the rice harvest parade this comming october. That is a big deal in our community because that rice is what we are known for. A lot of groups and organization are taking part of this event. So i think this is one of the best way to connect our resident to the community.
2014-08-13 06:26:29 PM tamialfonso the car show sounds like fun
2014-08-13 06:26:35 PM brycegray Here is a website with a few outdoor activites: http://www.caring.com/articles/activities-for-alzheimers-and-dementia-outdoor-activities
2014-08-13 06:27:34 PM noemi there will be plants that landscapers take care of but we already have a garden with fruits and veggies. I will look at the website, thanks
2014-08-13 06:27:48 PM anthonyalviar In our last night chat i got excited on doing the remote control car race. Someone type up that i idea and i though its realy cool
2014-08-13 06:27:56 PM jgruber85 That is going to be fun!!
2014-08-13 06:28:01 PM vickis enter the chat room
2014-08-13 06:28:12 PM jgruber85 Oh yea I remember seeing that being talked about that is another great idea!
2014-08-13 06:28:25 PM vickis left the chat room
2014-08-13 06:28:35 PM anthonyalviar What about the CE for your residents? what do you plan to do for that?
2014-08-13 06:29:18 PM tamialfonso i would like to take a group of men, maybe vets to an air show. bet they would love it
2014-08-13 06:30:36 PM jgruber85 Are you talking about the Educational Program for the residents that they get a certificate for?
2014-08-13 06:30:45 PM anthonyalviar yes
2014-08-13 06:30:57 PM brycegray Take a group of men to a car dealership. It's free and they can look at all the new cars. On a slow day, we had a salesman talk about a few cars and let the men look under the hood of the cars
2014-08-13 06:31:01 PM jgruber85 ooohhh Tamialfonso I have taken a group of residents to an airshow before and they loved it....great idea!
2014-08-13 06:31:23 PM brycegray Men’s Activities in Long-Term Care:http://www.recreativeresources.com/MensActivitiesinLongtermCare.htm
2014-08-13 06:31:37 PM brycegray Develop a new educational course at your community. This website contains hundreds of free presentations you can print and discuss with your residents. My residents truly enjoyed our Educational Course on Lewis and Clark, here it is for you to use:http://lewisclark.cet.edu/activities/journey.ppt
2014-08-13 06:32:14 PM jgruber85 I am currently working with our Admissions Coordinator on this. I was talking to her about this assignment and she said ummm...Jenny I do this all the time and other facilities I can hold a program for our residents! So we're still deciding on what program we want to do. How about you have you done yours or know what your going to do yet?
2014-08-13 06:32:23 PM brycegray More free powerpoint presentations: http://www.pppst.com/
2014-08-13 06:32:32 PM jgruber85 YES! Mens activities I need help with this...
2014-08-13 06:32:39 PM anthonyalviar Hey bryce you are so wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for that dealership trip idea. Tom im taking some of our male residents to hooters then maybe after our we eat we will stop by at a near dealership
2014-08-13 06:33:31 PM tamialfonso i heard about your hooters trip, they will have fun
2014-08-13 06:34:03 PM brycegray You are welcome! Girls, chicken wings, and cars... what more could your male residents want?!?! :)
2014-08-13 06:34:24 PM noemi i really like the dealership idea
2014-08-13 06:34:34 PM brycegray HOW-TO Articles for Activity Directors… Useful information on a variety of subjects such as Activity Planning, Outings, Dementia Activities, Special Events, Volunteers, and Fundraising: http://www.notjustbingo.com/articles-and-resources/how-to-articles.html
2014-08-13 06:34:45 PM tamialfonso love the dealership idea too. the new challenger is coming out soon
2014-08-13 06:36:37 PM brycegray Another free outing idea... visit the local high schools or towns of your residents. Let them be the tour guide as your drive down main street or maybe even the street they grew up on! I suggest going on wikipedia or googling the town you will visit to find out the history/information about the town before you go.
2014-08-13 06:38:23 PM tamialfonso what a wonderful idea. seeing their old places would flood the memories.
2014-08-13 06:38:32 PM brycegray I would google a local town and find out when it was founded, "famous" restaurants or stores, history of old buildings, and whatever else would pop up. All it cost was the gas to drive around and the occasional stop for ice cream!
2014-08-13 06:39:22 PM jgruber85 Great idea!
2014-08-13 06:39:29 PM tamialfonso yum, an ice cream trip
2014-08-13 06:39:30 PM brycegray Any other questions? Anything else I could help you with?

2014-08-13 06:40:51 PM tamialfonso so many great ideas, thank you bryce
2014-08-13 06:41:08 PM brycegray It's ok! we are just talking about free resources available on the internet and any questions about the ADN website
2014-08-13 06:41:26 PM brycegray Stay around zojeda and I will provide all of the links I listed earlier
2014-08-13 06:41:42 PM robertonkst enter the chat room
2014-08-13 06:41:57 PM anthonyalviar Myself, zojeda and jenny are wondering how to communicate in the ADN board? It is part of our final practicum
2014-08-13 06:42:24 PM brycegray Zojeda - I suggest opening a word document. i will provide links to websites that you can paste into a word documetn
2014-08-13 06:42:51 PM zojeda I have a question about the final on the last page we are suppose to connect with the message board but I have not been able to find the are where u leave a message for someone
2014-08-13 06:42:58 PM jgruber85 I think I already did that... :/ I logged into ADN and had to set up a login and did an introduction of myself to the other ADN members...
2014-08-13 06:43:43 PM zojeda And they respond later?
2014-08-13 06:44:07 PM jgruber85 They can view your post and respond if they want to I haven't logged back on to see if anyone responded to mine yet.
2014-08-13 06:44:49 PM robertonkst If you're responding to kathy's discussion board there is a link for reply here. When I did mepap1 I had trouble at first replying to her post instead of someone elses.
2014-08-13 06:45:36 PM zojeda I will try it lateer to see if it works... By the way my name is Zoraida zojeda is my username :)
2014-08-13 06:46:09 PM brycegray I would honestly ask Kathy this question. This is new since I took my MEPAP certification. I beleive it is just as jgruber85 described. Setup a login, introduce yourself, etc...
2014-08-13 06:46:30 PM robertonkst hope you can figure it out!
2014-08-13 06:46:38 PM zojeda me too...
2014-08-13 06:46:43 PM jgruber85 Zoraida I can try to private message you steps if you would like???
2014-08-13 06:47:01 PM anthonyalviar can you do that for me too?
2014-08-13 06:47:09 PM zojeda Please, I would appreciate it
2014-08-13 06:47:18 PM brycegray I'm sorry, Zoraida! I don't have a list of actual names so I refer to usernames.
2014-08-13 06:47:27 PM jgruber85 Absolutely! Give me just a sec. I gotta pull out my Final Papers...:)
2014-08-13 06:47:35 PM zojeda That's OK i understand

2014-08-13 06:50:51 PM robertonkst My advice is to go right on from mepap1 to mepap2 since everything you learned is fresh in your mind! I took a few months off and wish I just would have gotten it done all at once
2014-08-13 06:51:07 PM noemi Thanks for all the great websites and information. Gotta go now but I will be back next month(v)
2014-08-13 06:51:23 PM brycegray Have a great night! See you next month!

2014-08-13 06:52:14 PM brycegray Great advice, robertonkst! I would also suggest going from MEPAP1 directly into MEPAP2 if you can.
2014-08-13 06:52:18 PM zojeda I agree but the next few months are the most busy personally and at my center with the holyday decorations, events and all
2014-08-13 06:52:52 PM brycegray Activity Boxes that can be used by all caregivers, volunteers and families. Easy and cheap (some can be made with items around your facility) to make: https://www.alz.org/georgia/documents/activity_boxes-gems_revised.pdf

2014-08-14 05:38:57 PM kathyhughes I am doing great how are you all doing?
2014-08-14 05:39:02 PM fkirchgater kathy, i have a question
2014-08-14 05:39:07 PM kathyhughes ok
2014-08-14 05:39:22 PM kathyhughes ask away
2014-08-14 05:39:26 PM robertonkst Very good thank you for asking.
2014-08-14 05:39:37 PM kathyhughes you are welcome
2014-08-14 05:39:41 PM kathyhughes Hello Alex
2014-08-14 05:39:56 PM fkirchgater what do you do when you have a resident who is lies about you to start trouble every time she gets mad? I try and ignore it but it is getting worse
2014-08-14 05:40:25 PM kathyhughes I would talk to the resident and try to figure out why
2014-08-14 05:40:59 PM kathyhughes and would guess that the resident has attention seeking behavior and wants attention
2014-08-14 05:41:07 PM fkirchgater She has diagnosis of paranoid schitzophrenia, sorry spelling
2014-08-14 05:41:28 PM fkirchgater and she really truly does have severe attention seeking behavior
2014-08-14 05:41:50 PM kathyhughes there you go....so I would document exactly what she does and exactly (just the facts) what you do
2014-08-14 05:41:52 PM fkirchgater but its always me and i am getting a little discouraged because my whole heart is in this facility
