2014-09-18 05:59:13 PM karrym its to the point she even calls nursing staff to bring her residents to her activities
2014-09-18 05:59:13 PM terridenisetyler do ya'll do orentation? if so what do you do? what do you say?

2014-09-18 06:01:35 PM kate9 I recently did an orientation where I tried to emphasize to CNAs that much of the MDS data I collect really relates to what they help residents with
2014-09-18 06:01:53 PM kathyhughes Sometimes with new staff they need some education as to what they need to do
2014-09-18 06:01:56 PM kate9 I think often they see me as a separate department that has nothing to do with their job
2014-09-18 06:01:59 PM katcarpender did it change anything?
2014-09-18 06:02:12 PM finman am i in the right room for mepap2 chat?

2014-09-18 06:04:29 PM debbie134 I find social services to be the toughest group to work with,
2014-09-18 06:04:30 PM kathyhughes What do you all do for orientation
2014-09-18 06:04:32 PM margarethrabal iGNORE THE NEGETATIVE AND REWARD THE POSITIVE

2014-09-18 06:05:02 PM margarethrabal OW TRUE...
2014-09-18 06:05:04 PM terridenisetyler true
2014-09-18 06:05:32 PM kathyhughes We should be sharing why we do what we do
2014-09-18 06:05:46 PM kathyhughes and why we have Bingo would be a good topic
2014-09-18 06:05:51 PM debbie134 I explain what we do in activities and why (SPIES) and readt the ftag 248 to them. They seem to respond better to the idea that there is an ftag involved
2014-09-18 06:05:56 PM katcarpender very true
2014-09-18 06:05:58 PM kathyhughes What are the benefits with Bingo

2014-09-18 06:06:42 PM margarethrabal newer people here r more helpful , those that have been here longer r a bit stuck in the mud
2014-09-18 06:06:45 PM debbie134 Bingo is a very popular activity that many of the residents played before coming to the facility.
2014-09-18 06:06:52 PM karrym social time
2014-09-18 06:07:07 PM kathyhughes How about fine motor skills?
2014-09-18 06:07:10 PM karrym mental thinking , searching fro numbers
2014-09-18 06:07:15 PM terridenisetyler true
2014-09-18 06:07:25 PM kathyhughes How about scanning skills
2014-09-18 06:07:27 PM kate9 I tried to fight BINGO when I first started. I scheduled all of these more "stimulating " activities.
2014-09-18 06:07:32 PM kate9 My residents wanted BINGO
2014-09-18 06:07:33 PM debbie134 Helping one another (in theory)
2014-09-18 06:07:47 PM katcarpender mmm didnt think about that one...scanning skills

2014-09-18 06:08:19 PM kathyhughes Hello Lisa
2014-09-18 06:08:20 PM finman not to mention socialization
2014-09-18 06:08:31 PM kate9 BINGO is one of the few things that people can still do and will work towards doing and all ages love it. I think the only importantn question is....how can we invent another game like BINGO that isn't BINGO....and if it's set up like a BINGO board, that doesn't count.
2014-09-18 06:08:32 PM kathyhughes Right and sense of accomplishment
2014-09-18 06:08:41 PM margarethrabal Good idea

2014-09-18 06:11:20 PM lisaturske We have a prize store after our bingo games and they can't get ther fast enough to be the first ones to choose what they want.
2014-09-18 06:11:22 PM kathyhughes So if you were to give them prizes for trivia or bowling they would go to that
2014-09-18 06:11:30 PM finman Everyone likes winning something!!

2014-09-18 06:12:36 PM kathyhughes Or a door prize for exercise class
2014-09-18 06:12:45 PM terridenisetyler oh yeah!

2014-09-18 06:13:08 PM lisaturske I think I'll have to try that for exercise.
2014-09-18 06:13:20 PM kathyhughes Mine hated exercise
2014-09-18 06:13:29 PM kate9 I give prizes everywhere that I can afford to give prizes and a couple of places where I can't. Sometimes, I have to find something else to motivate.
2014-09-18 06:13:31 PM kathyhughes we had to fool them into it
2014-09-18 06:13:32 PM terridenisetyler i want mine resident to have a volley ball game...fun!

2014-09-18 06:14:15 PM terridenisetyler whats that?
2014-09-18 06:14:34 PM kathyhughes We would exerdise half way through the Bingo game
2014-09-18 06:14:44 PM katcarpender we are starting this new thing where we got dollar bills from the dollar tree and everytime residents come to an event or exerise or win bingo or whatever then they get a fake dollar bill and each month we have a sort of store filled with little things and they can buy whatever with their "money" they earned by being active
2014-09-18 06:14:48 PM terridenisetyler awww...
2014-09-18 06:14:58 PM karrym thats a good idea

2014-09-18 06:15:12 PM debbie134 My residents would say that someone came in and messed with their cards while they were exercising.

2014-09-18 06:16:49 PM kathyhughes you can also use punch cards and everytime they came to the activity they would get a punch....once they got all the punches they could turn it in for a big prize

2014-09-18 06:18:47 PM kathyhughes :S
2014-09-18 06:18:48 PM terridenisetyler pumpkin carving
2014-09-18 06:18:53 PM terridenisetyler lol
2014-09-18 06:19:01 PM kate9 I figure I'll do some kind of mystery goop guessing game for sensory group.
2014-09-18 06:19:05 PM kathyhughes Do you let the residents carve?
2014-09-18 06:19:18 PM kathyhughes Mystery poop????
2014-09-18 06:19:20 PM karrym We are doing fall fest all of one week in OCT
2014-09-18 06:19:20 PM jackie3 i mentioned the monster mash last week...we are also doing a harvest festival the week before halloween
2014-09-18 06:19:20 PM margarethrabal stuff a scare crow but not a scarry one
2014-09-18 06:19:25 PM terridenisetyler no...just scoop it out
2014-09-18 06:19:38 PM lisaturske We are trying to get away from our typcial carnival type set up for the halloween party. So any ideas would be greatly appreciated. We are doing a costume parade and was thinking about doing something with fortune telling and magic.
2014-09-18 06:19:41 PM debbie134 We have a boy scout troop who come and each scout adopts a resident. They team up to carve the pumpkins.
2014-09-18 06:19:51 PM katcarpender mmmm i love that idea!!
2014-09-18 06:19:58 PM jackie3 also costume contest
2014-09-18 06:19:59 PM terridenisetyler i dont want any bloody fingers

2014-09-18 06:20:12 PM katcarpender ya, me either!!!
2014-09-18 06:20:17 PM kate9 Oh my, no! I used a knife today for an apple themed sensory group (to cut the apples) and even having residents near the knife was unerving. A lot of our residents have serious mental health issues.

2014-09-18 06:20:40 PM kathyhughes Houdini's Birthday Party
