2014-08-28 05:47:19 PM jackie3 I didnt finish but i have like 55 credit hours behind me
2014-08-28 05:47:32 PM kathyhughes then you can use Track 3....
2014-08-28 05:47:36 PM kathyhughes I think

2014-08-28 05:47:50 PM jackie3 right?
2014-08-28 05:48:32 PM jackie3 i know an english is one and i have that one...does psychology count?
2014-08-28 05:48:35 PM kathyhughes you have to have an English course and then a total of 12 credits
2014-08-28 05:48:42 PM kathyhughes Yes
2014-08-28 05:49:22 PM kathyhughes You need to look at the NCCAP Academic Standards
2014-08-28 05:49:33 PM kathyhughes they have a ton of courses listed
2014-08-28 05:50:22 PM kathyhughes you need 60 credits for Track 3
2014-08-28 05:50:40 PM kathyhughes so you could use Track 4 and use only the 12 college credits
2014-08-28 05:51:42 PM jackie3 yes...i have 55 total... i have english..6 credits 3 fron psychology and another 3 from enhlish 2
2014-08-28 05:52:05 PM kathyhughes and you can use 2 more classes

2014-08-28 05:52:52 PM kathyhughes I know but it doesn't matter the Track
2014-08-28 05:53:01 PM kathyhughes as long as you get certified
2014-08-28 05:53:09 PM jackie3 ok

2014-08-28 05:54:38 PM kathyhughes I think that once you complete this then you can apply using Track 4

2014-08-28 06:06:28 PM dthompson We have many donations. I have crosses we can paint. I may have birdhouses. I have several women who will donate quilts but I have never done a bazaar at this level before
2014-08-28 06:06:37 PM aleciathornton We have a giving tree for Christmas - ppl pick ornaments with residents names and buy them gifts

2014-08-28 06:07:54 PM aleciathornton IDk - this will be my first year directing it
2014-08-28 06:08:05 PM debbie134 Gift baskets are a huge hit. Ask local merchants for gift certificates and raffle these off too,
2014-08-28 06:08:15 PM kathyhughes the facility paid $1 per resident....I found donations for all residents who did not have families
2014-08-28 06:08:16 PM aleciathornton I have a plan to get more families to donate gifts beginning next month
2014-08-28 06:08:22 PM tubbsretricia Good idea, becasue I have plenty of baskets
2014-08-28 06:08:27 PM kathyhughes and made a list of items that could be donated
2014-08-28 06:08:37 PM debbie134 We do $5.00 per resident.
2014-08-28 06:08:53 PM onelliaad 5.00 dollars is a good amount
2014-08-28 06:09:00 PM debbie134 Encourage each department to donate a gift basket.
2014-08-28 06:09:10 PM kathyhughes I also had a group that made lap robes for all the residents
2014-08-28 06:09:13 PM lizkanderson Debbie, I have a 5 dollar budget this year, I think. What was your most successful gift at that rate, or lower?
2014-08-28 06:09:16 PM kathyhughes good idea
2014-08-28 06:09:23 PM terridenisetyler good idea
2014-08-28 06:09:26 PM jackie3 does anyone do direct selling on the side??? Im a thirty one consultant...i donated one of the bags i got free for being a consultant, added from bath accesories and rafled it for $1 a ticket.... we made 113.00!!!

2014-08-28 06:09:38 PM lizkanderson We did the laprobes last year. Big hit!
2014-08-28 06:09:39 PM noemi that's a nice idea I've always thought of getting presents for residents but didn't know where I'd get the funds
2014-08-28 06:09:40 PM aleciathornton wow jackie!

2014-08-28 06:10:34 PM debbie134 Ask a church group to consider donating gifts fro a few residents.
2014-08-28 06:10:38 PM onelliaad i order those supplies from orintal trading
2014-08-28 06:10:43 PM lizkanderson did you do something different for those with hand constrictions?
2014-08-28 06:10:45 PM kathyhughes I had home show parties throughout the fall and always made enough to get hostess points so that I could get things from each consultant and we would raffle them off
2014-08-28 06:11:09 PM jackie3 awesome!!
2014-08-28 06:11:12 PM tubbsretricia another good idea
2014-08-28 06:11:25 PM kathyhughes hand constrictions?
2014-08-28 06:11:31 PM debbie134 We've done CD's of favorite music ( check Walmart bargin bins), DVD's neck pillowes, etc
2014-08-28 06:11:40 PM onelliaad construction paper?
2014-08-28 06:11:42 PM lisaturske We did lap robes/fleece blankets. It was a nice change from the presents for patients program we did in past years. thos were so chaotic and residents got mad that some residents got more than others.
2014-08-28 06:11:57 PM lizkanderson Knuckles constricted, unable to grip things like crayons or turn coloring pages?
2014-08-28 06:12:12 PM aferguson enter the chat room

2014-08-28 06:13:35 PM tubbsretricia Yea the next time I am going to try and get it donated
2014-08-28 06:13:38 PM finman hello Kathy
2014-08-28 06:13:52 PM lisaturske We put a collection bin in our lobby so visitors and staff could donate the blankets. I think we got the number we needed.
2014-08-28 06:14:28 PM kathyhughes Resident Council is up to the residents and if they are okay with that ....thats all that you can do

2014-08-28 06:14:47 PM aleciathornton Thats right
2014-08-28 06:14:47 PM debbie134 Why does the Social Service director have to be invited to Resident's Council?

2014-08-28 06:15:25 PM debbie134 We have been getting rid of so much stuff because with the construction,I have lost 80% of my stage space.
2014-08-28 06:15:33 PM lizkanderson i have space but they make me pack it all up and relocate every five months or so haha
2014-08-28 06:15:34 PM carolynlnig enter the chat room
2014-08-28 06:15:35 PM aleciathornton My storage area is a joke! I have a fuse box thing that makes putting anything in there impossible because its a fire hazard

2014-08-28 06:15:59 PM aferguson Yeah, I agree Kathy-but that is why some resients don't bother attending-they don't feel listened to

2014-08-28 06:16:43 PM carolynlnig Sometimes too much space allows for storing things we forget about or do not use
2014-08-28 06:16:47 PM debbie134 I have been known to store things in my trunk when needed.

2014-08-28 06:17:41 PM kleson03 thanks
2014-08-28 06:17:42 PM aferguson Yeah---I agree-they seem to warm up expressing themselves at the end to me when it is over----

2014-08-28 06:18:32 PM kathyhughes See Resident Council is their council and they have the control we are just there to facilitate between them and staff
2014-08-28 06:18:55 PM aferguson We are busy making soups, teas in a jar, and bookmarks to sell for our upcoming Garage Sale in Sept.,
2014-08-28 06:18:57 PM lisaturske Our president sometimes feels he isn't able to get a word in edgewise because the vice pres complaians about EVERYTHING. I meet with him ahead of time to see if he has anythign he wants to discuss. I'll make a point of giving him time to speak.
2014-08-28 06:19:04 PM onelliaad last year the gift donations from the ambulance company was 20 and said no thx needs to be 45 gitf for the LTC. they told me tha's all that be have. I couln;t take it.
2014-08-28 06:19:13 PM debbie134 At our resident councils, we can only have one staff member present to act as facilitator
2014-08-28 06:19:21 PM kathyhughes I have an entire Pinterest Board on Fundraising ideas
2014-08-28 06:19:21 PM terridenisetyler agree social services shouldn't be running the resident council.

2014-08-28 06:20:05 PM kathyhughes like they do at Toastmasters
2014-08-28 06:20:16 PM aferguson They really don't run themselves here--we have too many lower functioning folks, however, the few that attend, don't always say much-they are used to being talked at. Hopefully when I become director that will change
2014-08-28 06:20:22 PM kathyhughes anyone can look on my Boards
2014-08-28 06:20:48 PM kathyhughes I always gave them an agenda and they had input into it

2014-08-28 06:22:23 PM carolynlnig Our Day Centers are supposed to have 'council' meetings but too many people come a variety of days and too many are low functiuoning for responding to even staff, let alone another participant
2014-08-28 06:22:27 PM kathyhughes so I will check them tomorrow
2014-08-28 06:22:59 PM kathyhughes Resident Councils are optional....if the residents want them then they can have them
