2014-12-02 07:20:37 PM jennifercummings81 they had shopping at various stores as an activity and once or twice a week they would load up the van and go...
2014-12-02 07:20:38 PM sandyf I like the idea of the Christmas Movie marathon. I'll talk with the staff tomorrow about scheduling that.

2014-12-02 07:20:57 PM jennifer2485 ours did to.. they did a great job on the tree
2014-12-02 07:21:02 PM sandyf Even better - the trivia sheet to go along with the movie. We can get staff involved also.
2014-12-02 07:21:05 PM kathyhughes at the end of the month we awarded a prize to the residents who got the most right answers

2014-12-02 07:21:41 PM janiew Oh! And for any of you who have brain trauma residents -- a good eye/hand activity is stringing cheerios on strings to decorate the christmas tree with. They are helping decorate their home so they enjoy it (and they enjoy eating them too) ;)
2014-12-02 07:21:43 PM katew Staff to resident gifts have always been a hit. It was completely optional.

2014-12-02 07:21:50 PM conniedeel that way everone gets involved
2014-12-02 07:21:50 PM denise6 wanting it to be one of our outing this coming year
2014-12-02 07:22:01 PM sandyf Staff adopting residents didn't work so well at our place. Everyone seemed to have the same favorite.

2014-12-02 07:22:28 PM dnightchild another question for the group besides using a message board and dry away markers trying to be more up to date what's a cost effective method or what do you guys use as event calendars as we have to post one at my family care facility
2014-12-02 07:22:34 PM kathyhughes the folks without families were the people that I looked for churches to adopt
2014-12-02 07:22:35 PM sandyf Our group loves trivia.
