2014-10-09 06:18:23 PM wward Hello Everyone!
2014-10-09 06:18:36 PM debbie134 Ask the staff to make something for the party.
2014-10-09 06:18:39 PM kathyhughes I would hide the food then!
2014-10-09 06:18:40 PM tubbsretricia Fake credit cards. I like that
2014-10-09 06:18:50 PM 20140401 our resident can't be fool, they know it is beer or fake one. most of them are prescirpted limited alcohole
2014-10-09 06:18:51 PM kathyhughes Dish to pass from families
2014-10-09 06:19:05 PM steelers7311 yeah with the copies that they get to keep with their signature for their purchases
2014-10-09 06:19:12 PM tubbsretricia Oh I learned to serve at the end
2014-10-09 06:19:13 PM steelers7311 nice ideas
2014-10-09 06:19:32 PM tubbsretricia I like your credit card idea
2014-10-09 06:19:46 PM steelers7311 do you guys have "bracelets" for certain diets like regular red puree pink ...??
2014-10-09 06:19:47 PM kathyhughes There will always be some people who don't get it
2014-10-09 06:19:57 PM kate9 I wish we had bracelets.
2014-10-09 06:20:01 PM kathyhughes yes we did
2014-10-09 06:20:04 PM 20140401 yes.
2014-10-09 06:20:06 PM kathyhughes and diabetics
2014-10-09 06:20:09 PM debbie134 No, we have to memorize the diets of our residents
2014-10-09 06:20:09 PM tubbsretricia no we don't
2014-10-09 06:20:14 PM steelers7311 we purchased them from party city
2014-10-09 06:20:16 PM mariasweet We have a clear braclet with color dots
2014-10-09 06:20:26 PM kathyhughes had the ice cream man trained to look at the bracelets
2014-10-09 06:20:29 PM karrym no we don't we have to watch our diet list everyday
2014-10-09 06:20:31 PM steelers7311 that way when you have a large group it is easier for diets
2014-10-09 06:20:35 PM lisaturske We don't have bracelets. We make up pins when we have a large group activity with food and need to know who has special diets, etc.
2014-10-09 06:20:35 PM kate9 We don't even have bracelets with patient names and from what I understand, most places do
2014-10-09 06:20:41 PM steelers7311 npo and stuff like that
2014-10-09 06:20:58 PM debbie134 I think it is a regulation that each resident be identified.
2014-10-09 06:21:04 PM kathyhughes Then the residents wanted name badges like the staff
2014-10-09 06:21:07 PM steelers7311 omg how do you tell your residents and their doctors? room numbers?
2014-10-09 06:21:12 PM kathyhughes there aren't regs for that
2014-10-09 06:21:21 PM steelers7311 wow
2014-10-09 06:21:22 PM kate9 We have very good memories
2014-10-09 06:21:40 PM kathyhughes So we all looked the same....and had to dot their name badges
2014-10-09 06:21:41 PM karrym yes everything is in the chart
2014-10-09 06:21:46 PM steelers7311 we have too many with wanderguards
2014-10-09 06:21:52 PM lisaturske lol!
2014-10-09 06:21:59 PM debbie134 One of the state surveyors said it was. I trust you though
2014-10-09 06:22:06 PM kathyhughes thanks
2014-10-09 06:22:14 PM tubbsretricia Now that is a funny but another idea
2014-10-09 06:22:26 PM kathyhughes Hope that I am right but I have not seen a reg that says that
2014-10-09 06:22:38 PM 20140401 when the dentist, doctor, manuicare, hair barber come, they can know who is who. they need to have name bracelet.
2014-10-09 06:22:40 PM debbie134 Maybe just in our state?
2014-10-09 06:22:43 PM steelers7311 what do you all do for Thanksgiving?
2014-10-09 06:22:45 PM kathyhughes and when they came out with something like that I would ask to see it

2014-10-09 06:25:27 PM 20140401 we will make the cards and let the resident give to their love one
2014-10-09 06:25:39 PM debbie134 Staff often bring in things to be wrapped for a small fee. My ladies do a much better job than I do.
2014-10-09 06:25:48 PM tubbsretricia Cool Idea, I am going to try it. On cardstock

2014-10-09 06:27:13 PM tubbsretricia Is the wish tree like an Angel Tree?

2014-10-09 06:29:38 PM kathyhughes I always asked for Kleenex from scout troops
2014-10-09 06:29:41 PM tubbsretricia I want to do this, but I know our residents will wish to go home
2014-10-09 06:29:45 PM steelers7311 oo cool
2014-10-09 06:30:09 PM debbie134 Many of the residents want lap shawls.
2014-10-09 06:30:26 PM kathyhughes they were easy to wrap and the residents enjoyed them better than the tree bark we got cheap
2014-10-09 06:30:30 PM steelers7311 ask them in a differnt way. dont qapproach it as what do you want for christmas ??
2014-10-09 06:30:44 PM steelers7311 Because then they will say to go home
2014-10-09 06:30:55 PM kate9 I would say that the bulk of my residents do not have visitors on Christmas. I think maybe that makes it easier for each of them to handle it.
2014-10-09 06:30:55 PM karrym https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyZQf0p73QM
2014-10-09 06:31:22 PM tubbsretricia true
2014-10-09 06:31:31 PM debbie134 25% of my residents go to a family member's home for Christmas. Some even stay overnight
2014-10-09 06:31:34 PM 20140401 yes.
2014-10-09 06:31:35 PM steelers7311 We always say... At our christmas party Santa will be handing out gifts for our rehab patiernts we get them all blankets because of hte high turnover rate on that unit
2014-10-09 06:31:40 PM karrym this is called alive inside
2014-10-09 06:31:43 PM kathyhughes I concentrated on the residents without families
2014-10-09 06:31:45 PM steelers7311 neat
2014-10-09 06:32:00 PM steelers7311 us too that is what we do...
2014-10-09 06:32:10 PM kathyhughes and then other groups donated stuff...everyone would get at least 5 gifts each
2014-10-09 06:32:12 PM tubbsretricia Me too and they are spoiled
2014-10-09 06:32:26 PM debbie134 I encourage residents with no families to be Santas elves. They loved to pass out the presents
2014-10-09 06:32:34 PM steelers7311 They are all just so cute when they are opening their gifts they dont tear the wrapping paper
2014-10-09 06:32:38 PM kathyhughes and the night shift would place the stockings filled with goodies on their night stands
2014-10-09 06:32:48 PM mariasweet That's what we do at my facility, focus on those who have no family.
2014-10-09 06:32:49 PM lisaturske karrym, I've seen promos for that movie. Would love to see it.
2014-10-09 06:32:54 PM steelers7311 they neatly fold it like they are saving it for next yr to wrap presents
2014-10-09 06:32:57 PM debbie134 That is a grat idea kathy
2014-10-09 06:33:19 PM kathyhughes of course they do Alexis.....that generation did!
2014-10-09 06:33:19 PM steelers7311 too many sticky fingers at my work place
2014-10-09 06:33:21 PM lisaturske Nice idea with the stockings!
2014-10-09 06:33:23 PM karrym yes we are working on funding to do this for our residents
2014-10-09 06:33:23 PM mariasweet It's really a great program.
2014-10-09 06:33:36 PM tubbsretricia Stocking, I did not do that last year. I like it
2014-10-09 06:33:36 PM kathyhughes and then you can make something out of the paper later
2014-10-09 06:33:52 PM kate9 Hmmm....I wonder if I could get the night staff to leave things out on Christmas night. And now I"m agreeing with the steelers point...too many sticky fingers at my workplace, both staff and residents.
2014-10-09 06:33:52 PM steelers7311 its so nice even if it is the smallest gift they are so grateful and thankful
2014-10-09 06:34:02 PM lisaturske karrym, fundraising?
2014-10-09 06:34:09 PM kathyhughes it was something they did for over 30 years
2014-10-09 06:34:45 PM debbie134 If the stockings are all filled and ready, I'm sure the night staff would love to pass them out.
2014-10-09 06:34:47 PM kate9 but it is a nice idea, maybe I could play santa early christmas morning :)
2014-10-09 06:34:49 PM steelers7311 yeah i hguess so

2014-10-09 06:35:22 PM steelers7311 cool my volunteers would do that

2014-10-09 06:50:05 PM noemi that would be fun
2014-10-09 06:50:07 PM tubbsretricia another idea
2014-10-09 06:50:18 PM kathyhughes hang paper ornaments around the facility and have residents look for them
2014-10-09 06:50:26 PM kate9 All hunts (scavenger or otherwise) are awesome
2014-10-09 06:50:35 PM kathyhughes I always made them hard....real hard
2014-10-09 06:50:37 PM noemi true
2014-10-09 06:50:55 PM steelers7311 with non breakable ornaments we love making ornaments especially with that fake snow stuff ac moore rules this time of year
2014-10-09 06:50:55 PM tubbsretricia why so hard?
2014-10-09 06:50:57 PM kathyhughes I would use matching paper to the walls
2014-10-09 06:51:00 PM karrym they don't like things to easy
2014-10-09 06:51:04 PM tubbsretricia lol
2014-10-09 06:51:16 PM kathyhughes because the residents that got into it were really alert
2014-10-09 06:51:22 PM tubbsretricia that was a trick, Kathy
2014-10-09 06:51:26 PM tubbsretricia okay see
2014-10-09 06:51:27 PM noemi my residents wouldn't find things if they were hidden too well
2014-10-09 06:51:27 PM 20140401 oh
2014-10-09 06:51:38 PM tubbsretricia mines either
2014-10-09 06:51:39 PM 20140401 true
2014-10-09 06:51:42 PM steelers7311 i have clepto residents
2014-10-09 06:51:57 PM 20140401 they just have five minute attention to find.
2014-10-09 06:52:04 PM steelers7311 that would take them into their room and hoard them until july lol
2014-10-09 06:52:09 PM kate9 I have one alert resident who participates in everything and he tends to beat everyone all the time.
2014-10-09 06:52:13 PM noemi got the cleptos too lol
2014-10-09 06:52:21 PM kathyhughes then I figured out that I could take a picture of say a picture on the wall and the wall itself and then cut out the ornament and make it look like the actual thing
2014-10-09 06:52:24 PM kate9 I hear you with the hoarders
2014-10-09 06:52:24 PM steelers7311 arent they precious
2014-10-09 06:52:32 PM kathyhughes drove the residents and staff crazy
2014-10-09 06:52:39 PM noemi clever
2014-10-09 06:52:40 PM tubbsretricia I bet
2014-10-09 06:52:40 PM kathyhughes but kept them occupied
2014-10-09 06:52:44 PM mariasweet i bet
2014-10-09 06:52:45 PM kate9 On the plus side, I only ever have to take down about half of the decorations that I put up
2014-10-09 06:52:59 PM debbie134 lol
2014-10-09 06:53:01 PM tubbsretricia I would be crazy
2014-10-09 06:53:11 PM steelers7311 a resident today tried taking flowers for her room and ended up where do you think she was found reaching for pretty flowers??
