2015-11-24 07:39:27 PM wrendillon If I could throw out a question: What do you all do with residents for whom Christmas and the Holidays are not always pleasant memories? How do we help them find balance in the hubub of crazy Christmas?
2015-11-24 07:39:28 PM kathyhughes use any room except this one

2015-11-24 07:40:26 PM amandaw I just had an idea given to me when I suggested a mens group... We have a gentlemen from fish and wildlife thats volunteering to come in.
2015-11-24 07:40:39 PM sheilabryce Can I take MEPAP 11 in a classroom? This has been quite an experience!

2015-11-24 07:41:03 PM connie47 sometimes it is hard to get men to talk but i introduce everyone in each group, but my my unit only holds 12 patients. I put out a checker board and ask a man if he wants to play then i ask another man if he can play for me while I'm working with someone else. This works great because they love to help.
2015-11-24 07:41:05 PM kmdemers we also take them fishing

2015-11-24 07:43:04 PM connie47 Raking leaves outside on level ground would be something a man would enjoy

2015-11-24 07:44:34 PM nancyzmc Our previous director thought having the residents rake leaves and such was abuse - thankfully she's left - I think if it's something they enjoy, need to feel usefull, are outside - it's a good thing
2015-11-24 07:44:35 PM sheilabryce they can attend, maybe not handle but they will see it
2015-11-24 07:44:35 PM mliranzo94 enter the chat room
