2016-05-26 06:12:16 PM ptonyathomas I wish we had a covered area or canopy by our fountain. There is a screened-in porch, but then the residents can't sit by the fountain. We like to use the fountain for activities. We made boats and then had boat races earlier this week.

2016-05-26 06:13:23 PM hesterj What is that?
2016-05-26 06:13:25 PM jlgrassi never heard of it
2016-05-26 06:13:35 PM ptonyathomas They can, but it gets so hot they complain because there is nothing to provide shade by the fountain.

2016-05-26 06:19:40 PM jlgrassi enter the chat room
2016-05-26 06:19:44 PM vstephens well i guess Wisconsin is hell bent on getting residents out into the community
2016-05-26 06:20:13 PM kathyhughes Actually it is one of the points on the MDS
2016-05-26 06:20:20 PM hesterj I think outings to mall, movies, concerts, museums is good.
2016-05-26 06:20:29 PM kathyhughes and yes....everyone wants home care
2016-05-26 06:20:39 PM sherryw enter the chat room
2016-05-26 06:20:41 PM kathyhughes So that folks can be at home
2016-05-26 06:20:58 PM vstephens I love concerts in the park I am working on getting the funding for transport so I can take them to one
2016-05-26 06:21:06 PM hesterj I'm confused, visit home or go home.
2016-05-26 06:21:12 PM vstephens go home
2016-05-26 06:21:13 PM kathyhughes Go home

2016-05-26 06:21:50 PM sherryw I apologize for being late I didn't have the latest version of Flash.
2016-05-26 06:21:59 PM hesterj I see. Yes, I would want people to go home if it is safe and in the best interests of the resident.

2016-05-26 06:22:49 PM hesterj Well, people are allowed to make bad decisions.
2016-05-26 06:22:50 PM sherryw As far as joining the community it is something required to be asked in I believe Section Q? of MDS 3.0.
2016-05-26 06:23:01 PM kathyhughes and I would bet that soon we will have more 1-1 activities than groups
2016-05-26 06:23:22 PM kathyhughes Yep Sherry
2016-05-26 06:23:29 PM vstephens I have already started doing more 1:1
2016-05-26 06:23:46 PM vstephens so we can give individual attention
2016-05-26 06:23:48 PM hesterj Yes, I have a lot more already.
2016-05-26 06:23:55 PM kathyhughes So the group events may be smaller and 1-1 activities may be more
2016-05-26 06:24:01 PM barbz615 we do a lot of 1:1 mostly our rehab residents
