2016-02-11 07:18:03 PM reneebragg when it gets warmer take them outside to do an activity.
2016-02-11 07:18:08 PM nancyzmc I'm fortunate, in a way, I work on a secure unit and some of my residents are up at alll hours - anytime is a good time to do either a small group or 1:1s
2016-02-11 07:18:10 PM jamiet1 we are fortunate to have different places for activities and always have 2-3 things happening at one time
2016-02-11 07:18:10 PM skershaw they want the residents in the "dayroom' to be ready for lunch. which they start serving at 1130
2016-02-11 07:18:21 PM 85cindy Our activties for each floor are suppose to begin at ten and end at 11:30 to try and start grouping for lunch

2016-02-11 07:18:38 PM edrar I read to them at 10, then exercise at 10:45. One of our administrators does a weekly thing in the paper about the past growing up so I read them to them. They really like that.
2016-02-11 07:18:39 PM kathyhughes and a staff person would do 1-1 activities in the AM
2016-02-11 07:18:43 PM skershaw that puts us out 30 minutes in the moring. not to mention they dont get breakfast cleaned up til 915. ugh.. sharing a room is for the birds...lol

2016-02-11 07:19:48 PM 85cindy I am forunate as welll. Most days we have at least 3 groups going at a time in different spots close by. Not every resident is able to do the same activity as the other
2016-02-11 07:19:48 PM khawver kathy - activity staff did the 1:1 or direct care staff?

2016-02-11 07:20:37 PM kathyhughes we would gather the residents, one staff would do the program and the other would do the 1-1 with the residents on that floor
2016-02-11 07:20:44 PM kathyhughes Depended on the residents
2016-02-11 07:20:46 PM connie47 I do a lot of 1:1 on a laptop.
2016-02-11 07:21:03 PM skershaw thats kinda how we do it too.... have a group and another is 1-1
2016-02-11 07:21:05 PM degestrom for residents that cannot attend activities, we spend time with them doing a one on one activity
2016-02-11 07:21:12 PM edrar Sensory kit, read, sing. Ours can not do computers at all
2016-02-11 07:21:18 PM nancyzmc Try to . . . when there's a wholehouse activity going on, I'm back on my unit with the other residents doing a group - otherwise, it's one staff person per unit.
