2015-06-30 06:43:27 PM amber5 This morning I told the residents about the supreme courts ruling that gay marriage is legal in all 50 states in the US and asked how they felt about that. I'm sure it's not every day someone asks them about important topics besides how do you take your coffee. The chat we had was good.
2015-06-30 06:43:31 PM stormyd yep dining room for us

2015-06-30 06:44:20 PM ptonyathomas We love having the residents lead activities. We do have one that we are having difficulty with ever since we had her teach a class. Now when we do anything with flowers she thinks she is in charge, It frustrates the residents that she won;t let them do their own thing and it frustrates her because they do their own thing and it isn't "right". We have talked and think we may need to do hers as 1-1 so we can try to elimintate a lot of the frustration.
2015-06-30 06:44:23 PM severman well i feel silly we were in the wrong chat room.... but great chat guys that was fun....lol
2015-06-30 06:44:42 PM stacey1 It's so sweet when they do that. Mine love giving me a hard time. Our ED is new and i missed the last resident council and she told me that she can tell they enjoy picking on me bc they really enjoy having me. It was sweet.
