2013-03-11 06:47:25 PM karynbrinkley You could all teach your residents to bely dance.
2013-03-11 06:47:29 PM dtkimble I wasn't responsible for that one....but....thinking back why not?
2013-03-11 06:47:40 PM dtkimble she was kind of appropriately dressed
2013-03-11 06:47:44 PM dtkimble :)
2013-03-11 06:47:44 PM estrawser I dont think admin would let me have a bellydancer. some of the employee may enjoy along with the residents lol
2013-03-11 06:47:46 PM anniei2552 when I visited the assisted living facility for my mid-term I learned a lot is donated by volunteers but also the music performances
2013-03-11 06:47:49 PM bhanson We had a Zumba class with our IL residents! They loved it!
2013-03-11 06:48:07 PM angi55 bet they did. how fun

2013-03-11 06:48:23 PM dtkimble or did the residents watch?
2013-03-11 06:48:24 PM estrawser there is a senior zumba class. maybe there is a dvd
2013-03-11 06:48:35 PM dtkimble I'd be interested in seeing that!
2013-03-11 06:48:41 PM karynbrinkley Ha, I don't even know if I could do zumba. I love when they do the incontinence training.Very funy looking!
2013-03-11 06:48:51 PM dtkimble giggle.
2013-03-11 06:48:56 PM smmbruin10 Do any of you have a common space where you display photos of residents at activities? Great photos instantly liven up a place.
2013-03-11 06:49:14 PM angi55 changing the subject. i guess the budget is a subject that is still confusing to me.
2013-03-11 06:49:14 PM dtkimble we put ours on as screen savers.
2013-03-11 06:49:20 PM karynbrinkley We have electronic photo albums
2013-03-11 06:49:29 PM karynbrinkley Ok, shoot
2013-03-11 06:49:32 PM bhanson Yes, we have a digital photo frame we have on display for each of the areas.
2013-03-11 06:49:33 PM smmbruin10 screen savers is a fun idea
2013-03-11 06:49:41 PM angi55 i love the take photos. i could def do that
2013-03-11 06:49:59 PM dtkimble some of our residents actually have computers... they think they are celebrities!
2013-03-11 06:50:04 PM dtkimble and, we know they are!
2013-03-11 06:50:09 PM karynbrinkley yes
2013-03-11 06:50:14 PM smmbruin10 we made single photo display holders with decopage tissue paper
2013-03-11 06:50:20 PM angi55 Guess I am not sure how the budget works and is it challenging at first to know how to spend the money you are allowed?
2013-03-11 06:50:22 PM estrawser i love to take photo also. the display would be in discussed in meetings after meeting.
2013-03-11 06:50:27 PM anniei2552 yes we have pictures of them all over our center they love it plus we record them doing crafts, dances, exercises they love to see each other on T.V
2013-03-11 06:50:37 PM dtkimble awesome.
2013-03-11 06:50:42 PM karynbrinkley Your department head sould tell you what your budget is for the month.
2013-03-11 06:51:07 PM aprilkirkland how much is usually in a budget for the department
2013-03-11 06:51:14 PM smmbruin10 i've made a yearbook type photobook online, and each of the residents loved it so much we had to order one for each one of them!
2013-03-11 06:51:17 PM dtkimble Angi....you will learn how much you can spend in a month. Some months are light and you can go a little heavier later on
2013-03-11 06:51:29 PM angi55 and then is it completely up to you to know what to do with it?
2013-03-11 06:51:42 PM estrawser there is catagories that items are charged to in the budget. At least the manager told me next year we can discuss adding to the budget. That is a plus for me. I can be more inventive and use resources.
2013-03-11 06:51:44 PM dtkimble all of that depends on what your facility gives you
2013-03-11 06:52:16 PM dtkimble We love to spend money on good music.
2013-03-11 06:52:36 PM nikibryant entertainers is where most of mine goes
2013-03-11 06:52:40 PM karynbrinkley It really depends. We have $500 per unit per month.
2013-03-11 06:52:41 PM dtkimble it used to be that performers would come in for free. Some still do but the better bands cost more
2013-03-11 06:53:01 PM karynbrinkley Others have to have fundraisers.
2013-03-11 06:53:03 PM angi55 Where do you live Karyn
2013-03-11 06:53:08 PM estrawser I think the budget this fiscal year is shoe string. I want to some results by evaluations and get more funds. also, inlisting the foundation members(their businesses) to help. It just takes time.
2013-03-11 06:53:10 PM nikibryant we have 5 standard that we have each month
2013-03-11 06:53:21 PM karynbrinkley South Carolina. Where do you live?
2013-03-11 06:53:26 PM dtkimble I want to put on a 50's dance. We have alot of the decorations...I want to buy neat plates, cups, napkins etc.
2013-03-11 06:53:31 PM dtkimble and prizes!
2013-03-11 06:53:40 PM angi55 I am in northeast texas
2013-03-11 06:53:45 PM estrawser some facility can have a prom
2013-03-11 06:53:45 PM karynbrinkley You can get entertainment for free, volunteers, etc...
2013-03-11 06:54:04 PM karynbrinkley What do you think the budget is?
2013-03-11 06:54:07 PM dtkimble we have a reasonable karaoke singer...she loves to dress the part
2013-03-11 06:54:34 PM angi55 he said he got 200 last month with no problem but the administrator never really tells him what it is
2013-03-11 06:54:40 PM karynbrinkley Karaoke is so much fun. We invite the family members too.
2013-03-11 06:54:46 PM dtkimble I deal with 2 budgets...the Assisted Living and the SNF
2013-03-11 06:55:26 PM dtkimble I have 48 residents in the Assisted Living. They come to the SNF activities
2013-03-11 06:55:45 PM jblackmon enter the chat room
2013-03-11 06:55:49 PM dtkimble I believe we are fortunate in that we have a budget of $600/month.
2013-03-11 06:55:50 PM karynbrinkley Hmmmmm...II prefer a set budget every month.
2013-03-11 06:56:05 PM nikibryant ours varies with census
2013-03-11 06:56:08 PM dtkimble It is easier than I thought
2013-03-11 06:56:14 PM estrawser Our budget is small.....real small. I want to show some enthustism and creative endeavors to boost it. The activity budget is a line item on the unit budget. I want to have a more defined budget. I think this may end up being a shared budget with admin.
2013-03-11 06:56:40 PM angi55 Honestly, Karyn do you think I should switch facilities at this point
2013-03-11 06:56:55 PM jblackmon hello everyone sorry i'm late
2013-03-11 06:56:57 PM smmbruin10 I have to step out now. Thanks everyone for the chat!
2013-03-11 06:57:02 PM dtkimble We will have more outings in the summer.
2013-03-11 06:57:10 PM dtkimble have a good week!
2013-03-11 06:57:49 PM karynbrinkley Angie, I would not do anything drastic but it never hurts to venture around and see what is out there. You have so much going on. I would try to get throught the course and then go from there. Ok, I know you will all be sad but it's time to go and get some sleep.
2013-03-11 06:58:00 PM smmbruin10 left the chat room
