2015-04-21 06:19:45 PM kim1 Our residents have a s"smoking assessment." They can't smoke unless they can get themselves outside and back in. So we have residnts who are upset that they can't smoke--we recommend electric smokes.
2015-04-21 06:19:48 PM kwilliams128 we have to go out with them 3x a day and light the cigs. Its such a hassle to make sure they are all on time

2015-04-21 06:20:29 PM mboyd We even had a resdient on our rehab floor who tried to smoke while in bed. They set off the whole fire alarm system
2015-04-21 06:20:35 PM lmorasch we dont allow ecigs.

2015-04-21 06:20:38 PM mboyd out
2015-04-21 06:20:45 PM fawnw They don't even like the electronic cigarettes at our facility - they still have an ignitor and with pumped in O2 - NOT A GOOD IDEA!

2015-04-21 06:20:57 PM cbrockway i wanna do a casino night, and ask staff who have ipads to download a slots game, and make the "machines" from cardboard thats been painted, and set the ipads in a cut out of the slot machine box so its actually like sitting at a slot machine. and as another staff member to do black jack at one table, and poker and etc at other tables, roulette, it would be so fun
2015-04-21 06:21:01 PM mboyd needless to say they were banned from reutrning to our facilities
2015-04-21 06:21:03 PM kwilliams128 Their designated smoking area is outside of the activity room.. So they have to come all the way over to us. One guy has o2 so we have to take his tank and put in our office while he is out there
2015-04-21 06:21:07 PM fawnw Mother's Day tea
2015-04-21 06:21:08 PM reneebragg we dont allow elec. cigs either
2015-04-21 06:21:09 PM barbb only smoke 3x day?? ours have 7 smoke breaks every day w/ 3 different smoke rooms (1st, 2nd & 3rd floors)
2015-04-21 06:21:14 PM ccoleman26 I have six residnets that smoke and the situation is always a troublesome one. We currently have a smoke room and each resident has their own box locked up with their cigarettes and lighters. There are 7 smoking times per day in which we unlock the doors and distribute their cigarettes. My Administrator is new and wants to let the residents smoke outside instead, but the rest of the staff including the Social Worker is livid at the fact of letting them go in and out as they please without supervision. SO it;s hectic right now. My facility is smoke free for employees and residnet families, but not for the 6 smokers who are grandfathered in.
2015-04-21 06:21:17 PM phylliskrastanov we had a safety inservice and we watched a video of a resident who lit himself on fire accidentally while smoking

2015-04-21 06:22:43 PM j9sparkley Sorry but you are not going to get a person who has smoked for 30 years to quit with a threat. It just cant happen
