2015-08-20 06:13:36 PM tracy1 Did anyone every challenge about the regs
2015-08-20 06:13:37 PM phylliskrastanov and they probably don't want to reread the regs to verify your story
2015-08-20 06:13:45 PM tracy1 true!

2015-08-20 06:14:50 PM tracy1 Did you have to bribe him to dress up?
2015-08-20 06:14:52 PM kathyhughes go ahead and blame me!

2015-08-20 06:15:27 PM lisam Nope I just asked. I always say "its for the residents". We need to make it fun
2015-08-20 06:15:28 PM tracy1 The whole room paused at BRB; lol
2015-08-20 06:15:35 PM diannhartley The Salvation Army offers pastor visits . so if you need one to one spiritual guidance for a resident that is a good resource.
2015-08-20 06:15:43 PM vickey why kathy
2015-08-20 06:15:43 PM kathyhughes all I ever wanted was them to have the resident ready to go

2015-08-20 06:16:02 PM lmv1970 How do you plan the time between activities to make it all work?
2015-08-20 06:16:06 PM tracy1 =)
2015-08-20 06:16:11 PM lmv1970 so you don't need help?
2015-08-20 06:16:13 PM vickey then did you bring them by yourself kathy
2015-08-20 06:16:13 PM kathyhughes because it was my job to invite the residents and motivate them
2015-08-20 06:16:23 PM vickey ok
2015-08-20 06:16:29 PM kathyhughes right it took an hour to gather the residents
2015-08-20 06:16:34 PM sdavis i have been on my job for 6 years and 2 days a go i got call in to the office and well we now have 2 ad in the building
2015-08-20 06:16:38 PM lmv1970 How many activites do you plan a day?
2015-08-20 06:16:51 PM phylliskrastanov my time study revealed that i spend 90-110 minutes per day transporting residents

2015-08-20 06:18:02 PM kathyhughes why....asking and motivating the residents was a 1-1 activity
2015-08-20 06:18:14 PM kathyhughes and I knew which residents wanted what activity
2015-08-20 06:18:21 PM tinab i like that Kathy!
2015-08-20 06:18:32 PM phylliskrastanov it is...transporting often involves being in a room talking with residents for several minutes
2015-08-20 06:18:40 PM cgbrown1977 Very ingenious
2015-08-20 06:18:42 PM char food for thought, thanks Kathy
2015-08-20 06:18:44 PM lisam Thats the key Kathy. Knowing what their interests are.

2015-08-20 06:19:55 PM sdavis yes it is

2015-08-20 06:22:24 PM phylliskrastanov We have been struggling to have the TED talks as a regular activity but it's like pulling teeth to get them to attend...maybe time to ditch it
2015-08-20 06:22:42 PM cgbrown1977 yes based on their likes and the fact that when the aides tellme they are doing the activities up their and the residents love them....yeah not so much
