2013-05-07 09:09:03 PM catejuvenal I enjoyed watching the youtube on the jar and the golf balls. I especially experienced a reminder in the visual of filling my life up with things that are not as important as those that truelly do. Thank you for that.

2013-05-08 05:02:43 PM dtkimble Hi angel!
2013-05-08 05:03:13 PM dtkimble Are you finding that some of the practicum assignments are repeats of homework assignments?
2013-05-08 05:03:14 PM angel4aml18 This is the last thing I have to check off for my final practicum packet!
2013-05-08 05:03:23 PM angel4aml18 yes i have found that
2013-05-08 05:03:31 PM jamiecraig im strating to worrie a little too what kind of display did u do for nursing home week/
2013-05-08 05:03:47 PM jamiecraig yeah
2013-05-08 05:03:51 PM jamiecraig good for u
2013-05-08 05:03:56 PM dtkimble Awesome! I just don't seem to have the time to get to some of the things I need.
2013-05-08 05:04:00 PM angel4aml18 I uploaded mine- noting too complicated. I did a babseball theme since the theme is teamwork everyone pitches in
2013-05-08 05:04:11 PM dtkimble That is really cool.
2013-05-08 05:04:42 PM jamiecraig good idea i thought it had to be pictures that will make it less expensive
2013-05-08 05:04:43 PM dtkimble I am finding that I need to simplify a little. I put way too much into some projects with my limited computer skills
2013-05-08 05:04:50 PM angel4aml18 I am having all of the staff in the facility "autograph" a printout of a baseball and hanging them up in a display so the residents can see how many people work togather as a team to help them each day
2013-05-08 05:05:03 PM dtkimble I LOVE IT!
2013-05-08 05:05:11 PM jamiecraig nice
2013-05-08 05:05:25 PM jamiecraig i may have to do something similair
2013-05-08 05:05:58 PM jamiecraig ok we have to talk about a special event we are planning right?
2013-05-08 05:06:02 PM angel4aml18 go for it!
2013-05-08 05:06:02 PM dtkimble We are having special music in twice for the week of Nat'l. Nursing home week.
2013-05-08 05:06:19 PM angel4aml18 entertainment can be expensive so that will be a nice treat for the residents
2013-05-08 05:06:38 PM angel4aml18 I am planning an interfacility ice cream social in 2 weeks
2013-05-08 05:06:46 PM dtkimble Ok. My thoughts are that I've planned a group planning meeting with residents. I posted it on my calendar and have no idea how many will show up.
2013-05-08 05:07:07 PM jamiecraig we are going to have a food pantry on the go come to our facility and the residents will take turns passing out boxs of food we
2013-05-08 05:07:30 PM dtkimble I know they have voice at resident council. They don't really contribute much during that time except for dietary complaints.
2013-05-08 05:07:59 PM angel4aml18 yeah so maybe this will be an opportunity to contribute positive ideas instead of focusing on complaints
2013-05-08 05:08:12 PM angel4aml18 that is a neat idea with the food pantry on the go
2013-05-08 05:08:13 PM dtkimble so, I've made an invitation list of residents I'd like to come. I am going to make them chocolate mousse and we are going to chat about what they would like to see more of.
2013-05-08 05:09:05 PM barbalbert enter the chat room
2013-05-08 05:09:29 PM dtkimble My AL thinks I am opening a can of worms. "What if the budget can't handle it?" I believe in trialing activities. If nothing comes of it, I will have turned it into a social hour
2013-05-08 05:09:33 PM jamiecraig you may have to have some ideas of your own and see what they think i tryed to change one bingo a month to prizes enstead of money and they didnt like that they want the fifty cents lol
2013-05-08 05:09:42 PM barbalbert Hi, my name is barb albert
2013-05-08 05:10:00 PM angel4aml18 hi barb
2013-05-08 05:10:05 PM dtkimble this is true. I know they have mentioned larger candy bars for bingo prizes
2013-05-08 05:10:20 PM barbalbert Hey did i miss the chat for class
2013-05-08 05:10:23 PM jamiecraig hi barb
2013-05-08 05:10:34 PM angel4aml18 maybe you can suggest a fundraising activity where you can raise money to be able to urchase bigger candy bars?
2013-05-08 05:10:43 PM barbalbert what about instant lottery tickets
2013-05-08 05:10:50 PM dtkimble I am looking for specifics....what KIND of music...bluegrass?
2013-05-08 05:10:52 PM jamiecraig this is 020513
2013-05-08 05:11:13 PM dtkimble I did try the lottery tickets...they want the quarters....cheaper yet!
2013-05-08 05:11:19 PM barbalbert oh i'm in may just started
2013-05-08 05:11:40 PM barbalbert mepap2
2013-05-08 05:11:46 PM dtkimble I guess my concern to you both is...would you take the chance in having an open forum for resident ideas?
2013-05-08 05:11:52 PM dtkimble no MEPAP1
2013-05-08 05:12:06 PM barbalbert thank you, nice talking
2013-05-08 05:12:10 PM jamiecraig this is for the final for us u may be an hour early
2013-05-08 05:12:30 PM barbalbert i'll try back at 8:00
2013-05-08 05:12:43 PM dtkimble since we are talking about quality of life...I'd like to see if the residents feel we are meeting theirs.
2013-05-08 05:12:54 PM dtkimble I do know what the budget can handle.
2013-05-08 05:13:19 PM jamiecraig yeah i would i want to have them plan the better part of the calendar so its on them isted of me if they dont like something kinda impower them at the same time
2013-05-08 05:13:36 PM angel4aml18 I think it is great to ask the residents what they would like to see. its not guaranteeing that every idea will get on the calendar but it will let you know of what you can change to meet their needs
2013-05-08 05:14:03 PM jamiecraig right
2013-05-08 05:14:14 PM dtkimble ok...I will confidently go with it. I have learned that being open and positive is sometimes the hardest step.
2013-05-08 05:14:45 PM dtkimble If I have 30 people who show up in our Act. Center when I can seat 12 we will accomodate
