2016-03-22 06:10:06 PM chelcia Kathy for the praticum pack to be faxed it says each page must be notarized. My facility doesnt notarize, my bank wont because the forms dont have an offical stamp on it. So I went to a licensing title office and it is 10 dollars a page. I paid for one page to get notarized not all 5 pages. Is this ok?
2016-03-22 06:10:09 PM timduvelsdorf94 it is a machine where water bubbles in a tube with plastic balls and beads
2016-03-22 06:10:10 PM kgates I love aromathereapy. Our team actually got doctors orders for residents with sleeping disorders and eating diesorders. The nurses mix it up and put it on a disk they wear around their neck made of clay. We are documenting how well it is working so far so good.
2016-03-22 06:10:12 PM summermurphy I like hidden object in a box where they can feel, hear, and smell to guess what it is. Then see if they guessed right

2016-03-22 06:10:15 PM thilst we also have live music for memories groups

2016-03-22 06:10:18 PM lynnd I like to have my group make lemonade. First they roll and press on the lemons to release more sugar and juice!
2016-03-22 06:10:19 PM robina1 aromatherapy will be great for our hospice residents. but cooking making a baking cookies is what the residents will be dong thursday

2016-03-22 06:10:49 PM theresar We did a Q-tip in the oils and hold them under the noses of the residents. It's amazing to get a smile out of someone who no longer speaks. I was using "pine" and the resident smiled. It must have reminded her of Christmas or being in the woods. Who knows.
2016-03-22 06:10:56 PM timduvelsdorf94 its really expensive like 5 grand apperently

2016-03-22 06:16:39 PM awalden I know, I am working with our dietician to make sure only appropriate residents get jelly beans. That was one of my biggest concerns.

2016-03-22 06:17:22 PM theresar Residents loves popcorn so we buy those popped puffs that are basically cheesey air. No kernals.
2016-03-22 06:17:24 PM aornelas i like activity connection as well
2016-03-22 06:17:24 PM cindythomas Due to resricitions, rules and regulations, what would you recommend as a resource tool for my population. All of the ideas are great, but I am still trying to give an explanation of services and the impact. Do you have any suggestions.
2016-03-22 06:17:24 PM skershaw i use creative forecasting too
2016-03-22 06:17:26 PM johne Called Bean Boozled my sister has them

2016-03-22 06:17:32 PM jackie26 is a book
2016-03-22 06:17:32 PM awatts DOES ANYONE HERE DO STIMULATION THERAPY
2016-03-22 06:17:36 PM belindaf I like th idea of different flavored potato chips
2016-03-22 06:17:40 PM mattk That is too funny amber!! Those must taste so grosse!!!!
2016-03-22 06:17:46 PM robina1 i have been working on getting supplies to make salt dough, use cookies cutter to make the holiday shapes, and then paints for the residents to do.
2016-03-22 06:17:47 PM aornelas what is stimulation therapy?
2016-03-22 06:17:47 PM kathym Our aviary is a great place to sit and talk. Residents gather there almost everyday, maybe not to watch the birds but to talk. It is a quiet place. And yes, we do have losses and that's hard, but the ones that remain are just as much fun to watch. The reisdent's will always tell us if something is awry.
2016-03-22 06:17:49 PM amber88 theres also grass flavor which isnt too bad and toothpaste which is good, tastes like mint
2016-03-22 06:17:53 PM vstephens stimulation how?
2016-03-22 06:17:54 PM kgates I used to get the creative forcasting before we did culture change, now the residents decide what we do. It's nice sometimes but then they hold you to whatever they say they want. Ha Ha
2016-03-22 06:17:54 PM priscillasalinas I wish activity connection wasn't so expensive to have.
2016-03-22 06:17:57 PM kathyhughes http://creativeforecasting.com/
2016-03-22 06:17:59 PM ninajacobs I still have some in my fridge from my kid!

2016-03-22 06:18:04 PM mattk Grass and toothepaste sound good.
2016-03-22 06:18:06 PM vstephens we do a hand massage and lotion
