I have also contacted a few other people and called the number (activitydirector #) but still no answer!! :( :( I am switching jobs and need to change my practicum advisor. What steps do I take to do so?? Do I just fill out a new practicum advisor form

2015-12-01 07:00:01 PM connie47 I picked up mini wooden birdhouses from Dollar Tree. Patients painted them, added glitter to the top, added a red cardinal from the Dollar Tree to the roof top
2015-12-01 07:00:09 PM bhartzog we are wrapping all our pictures, like hanging pictures in the hallway, tomorrow to make them look like gifts... that will add some extra decor
2015-12-01 07:00:14 PM cloraine9 We have started making snowman centerpieces out of socks
2015-12-01 07:00:23 PM cloraine9 filled them with rice and shaped them into snowmen

2015-12-01 07:00:28 PM sheilabryce I'm not super happy with our deorating surprise. One activity assistant is doing a "suprise decorating" by herself. The rest of us are left out. Me, the residents. I don't like it.

2015-12-01 07:01:37 PM kathyhughes Hello Edra
2015-12-01 07:01:46 PM cloraine9 surprise decorating does not cound very fun
2015-12-01 07:01:48 PM cloraine9 sound
2015-12-01 07:01:49 PM sheilabryce It's not making me feel involved at all. And the takes away from the residents decorating.
2015-12-01 07:01:50 PM stephaniesassa enter the chat room
2015-12-01 07:01:52 PM khawver Mason jars with a little square of christmas fabric over the lid are superinexpensive... a box is like 10.00 for 12 I think and then you can put little candles or snow or pincones inside.
2015-12-01 07:02:05 PM lovellagrace that is very interesting decorations
2015-12-01 07:02:08 PM jlhawkins nice idea khawver
2015-12-01 07:02:17 PM monigreen Part of celebrating is in the decorating. Where is the fun in that if only one person decorates everything?

2015-12-01 07:02:45 PM cloraine9 you should have your own separate decorating so everyone can do soemthing
2015-12-01 07:02:45 PM khawver We use the mason jars for summer picnics with red and white checked fabric on top
2015-12-01 07:02:48 PM bhartzog love mason jars... you can use them for so much

2015-12-01 07:05:17 PM monigreen I think is lasts about 45 minutes before you have to reset it. I use when I read Twas the night before Christmas to the residents on Xmas eve
2015-12-01 07:05:18 PM rjjacobjr our decorations got tossed by maintenance so we are all bringing stuff from home
2015-12-01 07:05:20 PM edrar that is a goog idea
2015-12-01 07:05:20 PM cloraine9 We are having a staff christmas tree decorating contest and then the residents get to pick the best one
2015-12-01 07:05:20 PM wrendillon If you have a newer television, you can hook an Ipad up to it and play You Tube, if you don't have wireless directly in the tv.

2015-12-01 07:06:10 PM wrendillon Last year, my predecessor took down 7 artificial trees and threw about 4 of them together in two bins. I have a giant puzzle to try to put together between meetings and getting actual work done. LOL

2015-12-01 07:06:46 PM stephaniesassa im sure it would work for the samsung
2015-12-01 07:06:50 PM julies left the chat room
2015-12-01 07:07:05 PM kathyhughes And that is why I tell folks to keep it simple
2015-12-01 07:07:06 PM tiffanyo It is alot of pressure

2015-12-01 07:07:24 PM wrendillon There is a cable for the ipad that they got from the electronics department of Target.
2015-12-01 07:07:26 PM ncooper6872 agree
2015-12-01 07:07:30 PM kathyhughes Not me....I delegated
2015-12-01 07:07:44 PM jlhawkins it is so hard when everyone is looking at me like i am the guru that is in charge of bringing the spirit
2015-12-01 07:07:47 PM kathyhughes All floors decorated themselves
2015-12-01 07:07:48 PM sheilabryce I'm trying to not be to pressured ....I try to stick to my own little plans'
2015-12-01 07:07:49 PM wrendillon I only have one and a half assistants to delegate TO.
2015-12-01 07:07:55 PM cloraine9 It also makes it hard when your the only one in your dept
2015-12-01 07:08:00 PM stephaniesassa I just moved to a new building with new guests and a coordinator and its christmas :$
2015-12-01 07:08:03 PM carlosm2015 NIce Kathy
2015-12-01 07:08:04 PM barbz615 I heard about hooking up an ipad to TV's I should try that
2015-12-01 07:08:06 PM brunnert We are having Christmas Karaoke this year. Yay!
2015-12-01 07:08:06 PM kathyhughes the residents had to detangle the lights and fix the trees
2015-12-01 07:08:08 PM kimberly1 learning to delegatei to the activity aides
2015-12-01 07:08:12 PM carlosm2015 :D
2015-12-01 07:08:16 PM wrendillon We said today that if we could send all of the residents on vacation for a week and just run through the building we could get a lot done.
2015-12-01 07:08:16 PM jlhawkins i have one assistant and honestly it is so hard to get her to do anything
2015-12-01 07:08:21 PM sheilabryce tried that idea, someone shot it down
2015-12-01 07:08:29 PM bhartzog my residents would be cussing if i made them detangle lights.
2015-12-01 07:08:31 PM stephaniesassa Oh detangle the lights that sounds like a great activity!
2015-12-01 07:08:31 PM jlhawkins ha! love that idea wrendillon
2015-12-01 07:08:31 PM julies enter the chat room
2015-12-01 07:08:47 PM kathyhughes The guys enjoyed
2015-12-01 07:08:48 PM tiffanyo The pressure is when you have other staff meember TELLING you what to do and not helping,
2015-12-01 07:08:49 PM lovellagrace it really is
2015-12-01 07:08:59 PM kathyhughes Well staff will do that
2015-12-01 07:09:05 PM sheilabryce when I'm a AD, I'll delegate, when I was a restaraunt manager, the owner taught me to delegate.
2015-12-01 07:09:14 PM brunnert I bet if you gave them bingo bucks for detangling, they'd be all over it!
2015-12-01 07:09:20 PM cloraine9 Yes my staff tells me all the time do this, do that, but never offer to do any of it
2015-12-01 07:09:26 PM kathyhughes and I always looked at them and said "Good idea" and then left it at that
2015-12-01 07:09:32 PM monigreen We have what we call "Leading Lights". One person in each department is in charge of organizing the decorating in each area. They organize residents and volunteers. That way we have different themes throughout the building and not just one person with the big burden

2015-12-01 07:10:12 PM julies Luckily we just do wall and table decorations the maintenance does outside and up high
2015-12-01 07:10:13 PM sheilabryce yes, a nurse told me to put up 4 live trees around our lake, I told her as long as she was in charge
2015-12-01 07:10:19 PM bhartzog Our DON is a major help. She LOVES decorating. So I let her have at it!
2015-12-01 07:10:22 PM wrendillon jlhawkins, I would say something like "Here are all of the things we need to do. I need you to take some. Here are my suggestions."
2015-12-01 07:10:32 PM kathyhughes Well Jamie time to look at writing her/him up
2015-12-01 07:10:35 PM carlosm2015 Sure residents can help with the Christmas Decorations maybe should be added as an activity twice a week
2015-12-01 07:10:39 PM wrendillon and give them a choice of some and assign some.
2015-12-01 07:10:42 PM kimberly1 it is helpful and I am scheduled for one activity per day in ADH
2015-12-01 07:10:57 PM kathyhughes If someone asked to decorate I would say ok....here is the stuff
2015-12-01 07:10:58 PM brunnert We are only allowed to use battery operated lights in our facility. :( Is that the case in your buildings?
2015-12-01 07:11:03 PM monigreen Or here is a list of things that have to be done. Which ones do you want to do?
2015-12-01 07:11:20 PM kathyhughes and then give positive reinforcement so that they would do that again
2015-12-01 07:11:21 PM bhartzog we can use regular lights
2015-12-01 07:11:22 PM khawver We use electric lights
