2015-08-13 06:11:29 PM kerrid There is never a lack of things for our volunteers to do. I had one home schooler who just liked to come in and hold the hand and chat with one of our bed bound residents.
2015-08-13 06:11:45 PM kathyhughes We sponsored a Science Fair at the facility for the home school kids and they had to have at least 1 residents buddy to help them
2015-08-13 06:11:48 PM lwadsworth my residents just love the younger generations so much! Just getting them to interact together is wonderful
2015-08-13 06:11:52 PM pam74 have alot of staff kids that come in and talk to and sing to our 1x1

2015-08-13 06:14:33 PM kathyhughes A Hospice program would be a challenge...but it also depends on the residents interests and helping the families deal with it

2015-08-13 06:28:50 PM kerrid Last September, my residents used some of their funds to purchase backpack/school supplies and then we had a "stuffing party" and packed everything in the packs

2015-08-13 06:29:07 PM sarahdecollibus sept we are planning a talk show with the managers as the guest and the residents get to ask questions

2015-08-13 06:29:47 PM katew We did apple crisp in the crock pot yesterday-sooooo good
2015-08-13 06:29:48 PM sarahdecollibus it might be fun!
2015-08-13 06:29:51 PM cgbrown1977 Yes we do! Unfortunately we have quite a few in our facility...Sadly most do not attend. It is a local group that uses our bldg and welcomes residents to attend
2015-08-13 06:29:52 PM carmenc909 We are also planning a picnic in a park. Residents are soo excited.
2015-08-13 06:30:07 PM tracy1 Yum apple crisp!

2015-08-13 06:30:21 PM vickey (y)
2015-08-13 06:30:22 PM amyr managers NEED to get out more and tslk with their residents
2015-08-13 06:30:25 PM kim1 I think something with apple-theme would be great!

2015-08-13 06:30:35 PM lwadsworth I LOVE not just bingo!!!!
2015-08-13 06:30:38 PM vickey i agree amy
2015-08-13 06:30:38 PM kathyhughes Interesting thought Amy
2015-08-13 06:30:44 PM tracy1 SO for those of you who work at an assisted living ctr how do you like it? Just curious?
2015-08-13 06:30:45 PM lwadsworth They are a great resource
2015-08-13 06:30:48 PM megmetcalf cider mill of course
2015-08-13 06:31:02 PM tinab don't forget the sparkling cider....closest to alcohol mine residents will get
2015-08-13 06:31:13 PM kathyhughes I always wanted the residents at the Dept Head meetings and more involved in the facility policy making
2015-08-13 06:31:25 PM llemack I almost never get time in my office...members first
2015-08-13 06:31:27 PM carmenc909 We plan a manager social every Sat and Sun. The managers spend time with residents.
2015-08-13 06:31:31 PM cgbrown1977 I love my A.L. Started my 13th year there last month
2015-08-13 06:31:47 PM tinab I love working assisted living as well
2015-08-13 06:31:57 PM llemack time management is a difficult task when time is a luxury resource
2015-08-13 06:32:01 PM kim1 I like the idea of a manager social.
2015-08-13 06:32:04 PM kathyhughes I think that if the residents were in charge....things would be way different
2015-08-13 06:32:07 PM sarahdecollibus I had someone quit today ..... They just walked off the job ..... It really disapointed me...
2015-08-13 06:32:09 PM carmenc909 I love my residents so much!!! Love on them every day.
2015-08-13 06:32:10 PM tracy1 Wow! 13 yrs. That's a long time.
