2013-04-02 06:23:27 PM richardsonl I have about five residents (Who attend resident council) and no matter how you try and what you do there is no satisfaction. I just conclude that I keep tring and not take is personally.
2013-04-02 06:23:28 PM hmc123 Right Left Center is a great Dice game
2013-04-02 06:23:29 PM kathyhughes it is
2013-04-02 06:23:29 PM jeminter at resident council time, I always let people know if they want to be heard then they need to come to the meetings, what I find is that residents won't tell me things, but they go to the resident council president about it and she tells them to let me know and that she ( president) will let me know. But the problem is, they will never attend the activities if I were to set them up
2013-04-02 06:23:32 PM anniei2552 but they love bingo!!!!
2013-04-02 06:23:35 PM lynnet did anyone besides me serve 'peeps'

2013-04-02 06:24:19 PM bhanson You could pass out tickets instead of prizes and then they could cash in the tickets for prizes. What do you think about that?
2013-04-02 06:24:23 PM dtkimble and I love the idea of making and decorating hats with flowers. They can wear them and hang them on their doors
2013-04-02 06:24:28 PM mbmalone3 I can only give out .25 cents for BINGO they wont take anything else

2013-04-02 06:27:37 PM thively with our lower functioning residents we do bingo prizes of snacks and donated gifts. With our higher functioning, they pay in for each card and we split it up into games
