2015-07-21 06:15:45 PM amber5 I have a ? Cutting of the nails is to be done by nursing staff correct because it is apart of giving care and Activities should not do it in case a resident is diabetic. I'm going to double check with the DON but I just wanted to know what you guys do for nails.
2015-07-21 06:15:46 PM cnorstedt I am telling families next week that residents will need to provide their own nail polish. We always provided before.

2015-07-21 06:29:15 PM kathyhughes How do you use the deck of cards for Bango????
2015-07-21 06:29:30 PM aliciag you pass out around 5 playing cards, depending on the # of players. then you have a deck and turn one up, whoever has the matching cards says 'got it' and turns it over, whoever turns over all of their cards first yells bango
