2014-10-21 06:34:05 PM janiew We have to call it "hang with friends" instead of hangman because apparently it's too violent and there was a resident who was suicidal...

2014-10-21 06:34:36 PM lorig7 very near, about a 20 min drive in moderate traffic. There is Mass Ave and it goes right out of Boston, thru Cambridge and into Arlington
2014-10-21 06:34:36 PM jennide221 essentially it's the same game just without the hanging of the man part
2014-10-21 06:34:39 PM kathyhughes So I would tell them the theme and go from there
2014-10-21 06:34:43 PM 85cindy word search books are a good tool.

2014-10-21 06:37:04 PM colleenb They love the parachute we put prizes in the center and they have to bounce them out. If they catch the prize they win it
2014-10-21 06:37:09 PM afrazier at one point we were "required" to do parachute 3x a week to help with falls

2014-10-21 06:38:07 PM amyr i found a trivial pursuit junior edition
2014-10-21 06:38:14 PM afrazier the thought was that parachute would engage our residents who were restless and had the urge to get up and move unsupervised
2014-10-21 06:38:14 PM conniedeel they will always come for food
2014-10-21 06:38:17 PM meganisabel did anyone else get a music and memory grant for ipods? or is that just a Wisconsin thing?

2014-10-21 06:40:15 PM agonz0 and we have such a small group of alzheimers residents in my facility they get to the music prgrams every day

2014-10-21 06:40:17 PM meganisabel But only some residents get them. They cant be shared.. and its a pain that the nurses or cnas wont help put them on the residents
2014-10-21 06:40:28 PM agonz0 and all the staff sits with them and holds their hands
2014-10-21 06:40:34 PM ratna72 we also do sand art as an activity
2014-10-21 06:40:37 PM mwasacz It's kind o a bummer that they don't want to go anymoe but I guess doing something new can't hurt.

2014-10-21 06:40:42 PM kathyhughes But I would use that as an individual activity

2014-10-21 06:40:49 PM carlasummar i cant get my residents to do arts or most crafts if they start they never finish

2014-10-21 06:41:50 PM meganisabel its just a pain haha. They have to be locked in the med room so i have to bug a nurse every time i need to get or put away an ipod
2014-10-21 06:41:54 PM afrazier i agree, i think if music is one way they are able to be engaged, provide it daily
2014-10-21 06:41:55 PM jennide221 we try to switch up the trips and switch up the people on the trips so that the same people aren't going each time and they don't get bored
