2015-02-17 07:02:37 PM tstar33 I only have 7 people who really need 1:1 so instead of looking at it like 96 residents you should only look at it who is in need of a 1:1

2015-02-17 07:11:52 PM kristygal82 you can wash it
2015-02-17 07:11:55 PM caitejess ya know what melodyc? I do try to get people down to activities by introducing people who are in the same hallway with them and sometimes that does help. I will sit with them for awhile and that gets the resident to open up a bit.
2015-02-17 07:11:57 PM kristygal82 I send it to the laundry
2015-02-17 07:11:58 PM caitejess that is a good one

2015-02-17 07:12:52 PM liaw left the chat room
2015-02-17 07:12:53 PM ileanaa when they stay in their rooms , I ask what would be something that they realy would like to do! I try to make it happen
2015-02-17 07:12:55 PM cafreitas1 i love group activities. they are personally my favorite, putting them in a circle too so they can seee veryone else
2015-02-17 07:12:55 PM chloer1 yeah 1 on 1s are great
2015-02-17 07:12:57 PM llemack Has anyone had a negitive response from puppet shows?
2015-02-17 07:13:10 PM feliciap i have found that the more time you spend with the resident alone that doesnt want to participate in group activities, the more they will trust you and may want to come out and join a group or two once they know you are leading it
2015-02-17 07:13:13 PM dbalzumati I HOPE NOT PAYING 150 FOR MINE
2015-02-17 07:13:14 PM kristygal82 no I have never thought of that idea to do with the residents.

2015-02-17 07:13:16 PM kathyhughes I think the residents might like to make sock puppets to be donated to a local day care center for kids
2015-02-17 07:13:18 PM phylliskrastanov we have never done a puppet how
