2016-01-05 07:23:59 PM carlosm2015 DvD's and Videos are very hard to keep organize at my facility is any way to control how Activity Aides taken and than leave them anywhere?
2016-01-05 07:24:01 PM khawver Have items needed listed on hearts
2016-01-05 07:24:25 PM kmdemers thats agood idea
2016-01-05 07:24:30 PM kathyhughes Do you have a resident who can help Carlos?
2016-01-05 07:24:32 PM amandaw very good
2016-01-05 07:24:41 PM jackie26 carlos you have to teach them not to do that
2016-01-05 07:24:51 PM jackie26 organize is the best
2016-01-05 07:24:52 PM lisas i like the resident helping idea
2016-01-05 07:24:56 PM sheilabryce why don't people just clean up after themselves???
2016-01-05 07:25:00 PM kathyhughes I had an exe librarian who organized the movies and had a sign out system
2016-01-05 07:25:03 PM jackie26 true

2016-01-05 07:25:27 PM jackie26 hahaha
2016-01-05 07:25:45 PM maryc2 haha
2016-01-05 07:25:46 PM ncooper6872 I have a sign out system for movie and library books. It works pretty good
2016-01-05 07:25:52 PM kathyhughes She kept track and if you didn;t return it you couldn't borrow
2016-01-05 07:26:10 PM khawver Did she keep all the DVD's in her room?
2016-01-05 07:26:15 PM jackie26 i only have one assistant so no problem
2016-01-05 07:26:18 PM aaronf89 i like that idea
2016-01-05 07:26:41 PM kathyhughes She organized them in our shelves with them
2016-01-05 07:26:53 PM carlosm2015 Kathy i think we can ask a couple of residents they do bring the paper work or some videos back for us to the main office , what is difficult is to keep it organize.
2016-01-05 07:27:31 PM jwhite she have them in alphabetical order as well? lol
2016-01-05 07:27:36 PM carlosm2015 It is just to many DVDs and Videos
2016-01-05 07:27:45 PM kathyhughes The first thing is to organize them alpha and work from there
2016-01-05 07:27:52 PM kathyhughes and sell some of them
2016-01-05 07:27:57 PM jackie26 donate some of them
2016-01-05 07:28:00 PM kathyhughes 5.00 each
2016-01-05 07:28:00 PM maryc2 a good idea have residents work on the dvds
2016-01-05 07:28:06 PM simslashon sounds like a plan
2016-01-05 07:28:08 PM kathyhughes donates some to another facility
2016-01-05 07:28:21 PM sheilabryce thats a good one
2016-01-05 07:28:36 PM wrendillon OR, make friends with another facility and trade books, DVDs, and games so that they dont' get tiresome
2016-01-05 07:28:46 PM lisas good idea wrendillon
2016-01-05 07:28:53 PM kathyhughes Anyone want some videos or DVD's
2016-01-05 07:28:55 PM jackie26 trade is a goodidea
2016-01-05 07:29:13 PM lisas I'm always iso sing-a-longs...
2016-01-05 07:29:14 PM maryc2 good idea
2016-01-05 07:29:30 PM kathyhughes I just sent some to a student
2016-01-05 07:29:33 PM sheilabryce I get so excited when we get donations, but I only get a handful of spectators/critics..
2016-01-05 07:29:49 PM carlosm2015 I think the problem is to many, great idea we start selling them. Firts look for what still useful and then sale or donate the rest.
2016-01-05 07:30:17 PM kathyhughes Staff always bought our old videos
2016-01-05 07:30:23 PM lisas If any of you have any sing-a-long dvd's you want to unload, I can pay for the shipping :)
2016-01-05 07:30:29 PM kathyhughes Save the Christmas ones
2016-01-05 07:30:38 PM kathyhughes and the ones that are popular
2016-01-05 07:30:49 PM jackie26 yeah
2016-01-05 07:31:19 PM maryc2 yes
2016-01-05 07:31:28 PM jackie26 i have a question,can volunteers do 1-1
2016-01-05 07:31:33 PM kathyhughes no
2016-01-05 07:31:41 PM kathyhughes that is your job
2016-01-05 07:31:47 PM sheilabryce in AL, it's sooooo hard.... I'm whining:'(
2016-01-05 07:31:52 PM jackie26 ok
2016-01-05 07:31:53 PM kathyhughes they can do group activities
2016-01-05 07:31:56 PM kmdemers i just signed up for net flex and let the residents pick the movies
2016-01-05 07:32:20 PM jwhite i like that idea
2016-01-05 07:32:26 PM carlosm2015 Sound great Kathy I will sugest my AD and try to organize a sale once a month or until we get the overstock down.
2016-01-05 07:32:27 PM khawver Kmdemers that's a great way to streamline and save space!
2016-01-05 07:32:29 PM carlosm2015 :-)
2016-01-05 07:32:38 PM khawver Also public libraries have tons of DVDS
2016-01-05 07:32:43 PM sheilabryce I take viewers choice then the actual viewer doesn't even come!!
2016-01-05 07:32:44 PM kathyhughes Its important that you know the residents that need 1-1 activities
2016-01-05 07:32:46 PM khawver And you can request them
2016-01-05 07:33:23 PM jackie26 the one who never go out from the room
