2013-03-13 06:10:45 PM brycegray Celebrate National Card and Letter Writing Month. Visit this website and encourage your residents to write letters to soldiers (HINT - this will look good in a newsletter): http://soldiersangels.org/letter-writing-team.html

2013-03-13 06:13:02 PM brycegray http://www.ehow.com/list_7446813_nursing-home-fundraising-ideas.html
2013-03-13 06:13:04 PM angi55 oh the yard sales are good
2013-03-13 06:13:06 PM dtkimble We have a group we are calling PenPals. We have some students in our nearby school who are writing. We send letters back and forth....the residents will meet their pen pals in May for an ice cream social.
2013-03-13 06:13:10 PM cathymayle That's a good idea,,,yard sale
2013-03-13 06:13:12 PM patricia33 yard sales are fun and families get involved

2013-03-13 06:13:49 PM dtkimble Can you have staff bring in casseroles and sell them at lunch time with a slice of bread and a donated dessert?
2013-03-13 06:14:11 PM dtkimble We make some decent money doing this. Bake sales work well also.
2013-03-13 06:14:31 PM aingerson Thank you those are all great ideas.
2013-03-13 06:14:34 PM hmc123 I think it is fun to get famillies involved in our regular holiday events....we also send our calendar to families and invite them to attend with their loved ones
2013-03-13 06:14:55 PM dtkimble Poker runs and selling hot dogs....fun for the residents to see 100 motorcycles pull in!

2013-03-13 06:22:59 PM dtkimble do you know of any good trivia sites? I have seen a lot of books to purchase. I'm thinking in terms of easier common known fact type trivia...fill in the blanks
2013-03-13 06:23:07 PM brycegray Families love it when they hear their family members are in "educational courses". Let the residents pick different topics... anything about the "history of ice cream" to "all about Iceland"
2013-03-13 06:23:21 PM brycegray Quit wasting money on trivia books! Check out this site for senior trivia (answers included): http://suddenly.senior.com/triviapage.html

2013-03-13 06:27:47 PM brycegray Depends on how much the dementia has progressed... My dementia residents can still answer questions on this site:http://suddenly.senior.com/triviapage.html
2013-03-13 06:28:05 PM lynnet thank you!
2013-03-13 06:28:09 PM aingerson We like to do different physical activities to keep everyone moving, but it is hard to find activity props and ideas that are appropriate.
2013-03-13 06:28:10 PM brycegray Are you talking about super easy trivia lynnet?
2013-03-13 06:28:21 PM brycegray It’s Physical Fitness Month! Change up your current exercise opportunities and search for new& creative fitness ideas on this website: http://www.recreationtherapy.com/tx/txfit.htm

2013-03-13 06:29:42 PM littlered14 Today I saw sensory bingo where the spaces had words that were things you smell, taste, touch and hear.
2013-03-13 06:29:48 PM hmc123 We have "clothesline chats" for our dementia residents! The women love childrens clothes and it makes them feel important again
2013-03-13 06:29:59 PM dtkimble wow, that is different
2013-03-13 06:30:04 PM brycegray Sensory: http://recreationtherapy.com/tx/txsensor.htm
2013-03-13 06:30:17 PM lynnet tell me about the sensory bingo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2013-03-13 06:30:39 PM angel4aml18 what do you do for the clothesline chat? fold baby clothes and chat?

2013-03-13 06:31:19 PM hmc123 Yeah, we have a clothes basket filled with childrens clothes. We play music in the backrground and talk about our lives.
2013-03-13 06:31:29 PM patricia33 yeah what about clothesline?
2013-03-13 06:31:49 PM hmc123 They just fold them, or hold them. It brings back great memories
2013-03-13 06:31:50 PM patricia33 that sounds easy
2013-03-13 06:32:01 PM littlered14 Sensory Bingo had words on the card like Vicks Vapo, Mustard, ball of yarn kitchen timer, aftershave lotion, golf ball black pepper, baby rattle
2013-03-13 06:32:08 PM hmc123 Simple always seems better!!
2013-03-13 06:32:12 PM brycegray http://edubakery.com/Bingo-Cards/14-1--Sensory--Information-v1-Bingo-Cards
2013-03-13 06:32:28 PM aingerson The sensory bingo sounds pretty cool. Maybe I can find something similar with pictures instead of words for those that are too impaired to read.
2013-03-13 06:32:54 PM lynnet left the chat room
2013-03-13 06:33:20 PM brycegray I'm sorry, this is a better sensory bingo card example: http://edubakery.com/Bingo-Cards/Sensory-Bingo-v1-Bingo-Cards

2013-03-13 06:38:43 PM brycegray Contact your local schools and colleges to see if any of their music students would like to perform (or practice) their musical instruments

2013-03-13 06:40:16 PM dtkimble I feel that if I say something she will be so upset. I pay $50.00 which is cheap by entertainment standards

2013-03-13 06:40:29 PM lynnet you're right it's a tough call
2013-03-13 06:41:01 PM shaun006 that is some situation.
2013-03-13 06:41:12 PM brycegray We had the same situation! I told them that the residents loved hearing her sing (I lied and said how the residents would talk about how her voice sounded like an angel) and that they were requesting her to sing more songs solo so they could appreciate her voice
2013-03-13 06:41:28 PM dtkimble some of the residents get up and leave. I usually politely ask if they can turn it down a bit
2013-03-13 06:41:30 PM cathymayle lol

2013-03-13 06:42:37 PM aprilkirkland you could always let the residents tell him, no one can stay mad at them
2013-03-13 06:42:39 PM brycegray I just feed their ego and they usually end up doing what I request
2013-03-13 06:43:00 PM dtkimble you got the power!
2013-03-13 06:43:20 PM cathymayle What kind of paperwork do your entertainers have to fill out to go into your facilities?

2013-03-13 06:44:08 PM angel4aml18 we have a lot of church groups come and sing for free
2013-03-13 06:44:08 PM dtkimble We don't have them fill out paperwork. I have had pretty good success if I've asked them to come in to meet me.
