2016-06-14 06:28:12 PM kathyw I really like all the ideas Im getting
2016-06-14 06:28:14 PM claire91 I'm going to have to read this again later I can barely keep up!!!
2016-06-14 06:28:15 PM jflores me too
2016-06-14 06:28:27 PM sashavowell how do you read it again
2016-06-14 06:28:28 PM kathyhughes and that they are adults and should be able to have a cocktail
2016-06-14 06:28:31 PM tonih I think they're trying to get away from sleeping pills, lots of orders for melatonin too.
2016-06-14 06:28:37 PM lladio I agree Kathy
2016-06-14 06:28:37 PM cynthia3 True
2016-06-14 06:28:42 PM xninfax yep!
2016-06-14 06:28:43 PM kathyhughes It's cheaper than meds
2016-06-14 06:28:44 PM salinass you are very right kathy,
2016-06-14 06:28:45 PM djc6540 A lot of our residents are allowed to have personal alcohol that the nurses keep locked up and measure out for them when they ask based on how often they're allowed to have it based on doctors orders
2016-06-14 06:28:46 PM brpowers that is good to know. we only let people have alchohol when their families provide it and say it is ok
2016-06-14 06:28:47 PM lily kathy... will you clairfy that? you asked a dr to NOT write an order>
2016-06-14 06:28:47 PM lladio lol
2016-06-14 06:28:48 PM sashavowell who need help with activity because the ad only likes bingo>>

2016-06-14 06:28:51 PM betsyw I agree kathy
2016-06-14 06:28:52 PM holly5 lol
2016-06-14 06:29:06 PM valerieg I agree, Kathy. It's part of quality of life for an adult to have a drink from time to time.
2016-06-14 06:29:08 PM jflores me too
2016-06-14 06:29:09 PM teaves i told my don i was going to slip the residents some alcohol the next time i do happy hour and she gave me this crazy look....lol
2016-06-14 06:29:17 PM wildmc00 We actually had a new resident that had a Doctors order for 1 beer breakfast lunch and dinner.. We would not give it at 7 am so the patient no longer wanted to stay so they left..
2016-06-14 06:29:20 PM dianajohnson I THINK THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE WINE AND A DRINK ALSO COME ON NOW IF YOUR 90 AND WANT A DRINK WHO ARE WE TO SAY NO
2016-06-14 06:29:20 PM teaves i was just kidding i wouldn't dare do that
2016-06-14 06:29:21 PM jflores lol
2016-06-14 06:29:26 PM lily yiu never know how alchahol will affect meds.
2016-06-14 06:29:28 PM hopec78 lol
2016-06-14 06:29:32 PM kathyhughes I would make sure that you share the FTag with your activity director so that they see that its up to the residents
2016-06-14 06:29:34 PM reneegu I wanted to spike our punch for the 4th....lol
2016-06-14 06:29:36 PM beccalr Thats why the dr clears it
2016-06-14 06:29:46 PM lladio it's not like we are trying to get our resdients drunk
2016-06-14 06:29:49 PM teaves lol
2016-06-14 06:29:53 PM jflores lol
2016-06-14 06:29:56 PM xninfax lol

2016-06-14 06:29:57 PM teaves right
2016-06-14 06:29:58 PM claire91 The activities are not about the AD they are about the residents. What do they want???
2016-06-14 06:30:01 PM kathyhughes I know Lily but many residents are not on meds that are effected
2016-06-14 06:30:01 PM michelle23 agreed

2016-06-14 06:30:15 PM cmarion we have had a few that had a glass of burbon every night
2016-06-14 06:30:17 PM kathyhughes Right activities are for the residents
2016-06-14 06:30:30 PM michelle23 yes they are
2016-06-14 06:30:33 PM valerieg One New Year's Eve party, we served sparkling cider, and you'd think it was champagne... all the ladies got giggly!
2016-06-14 06:30:33 PM marya I don't think alcohol would go over in my hospital, I'm not against it if the patient and doctors agree to it
2016-06-14 06:30:34 PM sashavowell I know someone asked about activities for residents because the AD only did bingo
2016-06-14 06:30:43 PM sashavowell I was going to offer them my calendar
2016-06-14 06:30:51 PM kathyhughes I had a surveyor ask me once....what if the residents wanted Bingo everyday.....???????
2016-06-14 06:30:54 PM korellana family bring wine to one of my residents
2016-06-14 06:30:58 PM claire91 I would be bored out of my mind if the only thing that was offered was bingo
2016-06-14 06:30:59 PM dianed72 We have state in house now and it totally blew my activities for the day.
2016-06-14 06:30:59 PM reneegu no go on the spiked punch but i get to serve non acholic beer on the 4th at our cook out
2016-06-14 06:31:03 PM jflores we do the same thing valerieg lol they do act like they are buzzed
2016-06-14 06:31:06 PM scomeau sasha i wrote a forum about calendar sharing if you want to join
2016-06-14 06:31:08 PM kathyhughes So I said...then we would have Bingo every day
2016-06-14 06:31:18 PM angiepenn7 It's all about the paperwork! It needs to match what the residents will say too
2016-06-14 06:31:19 PM salinass when we have sparkling apple cider or white grape juice, some of our residents think its real lol
2016-06-14 06:31:19 PM haleynholcomb left the chat room

2016-06-14 06:31:24 PM lily i had a resident get mad at me beacuse i was "making all thoses old people DRUNK" (it was virgin margaritias... and she had a UTI)
2016-06-14 06:31:25 PM claire91 But still, not JUST bingo
2016-06-14 06:31:27 PM sirio but it is all about the residents
2016-06-14 06:31:27 PM betsyw I'm interested to know if states with medical marijuana legalization are allowing individuals in long term care facilities to smoke, with a prescription of course
2016-06-14 06:31:32 PM wildmc00 That is true mixing pain meds or any meds with booze is never a good idea especially with narcotic medication at their age..
2016-06-14 06:31:33 PM korellana every night
2016-06-14 06:31:35 PM xninfax lol
2016-06-14 06:31:38 PM sashavowell i would go insane if they wanted to have bingo everyday

2016-06-14 06:32:39 PM claire91 I would never mess with the residents bingo. But they need more than that
2016-06-14 06:32:40 PM valerieg I've never had a resident who has a recommendation for cannabis. It's legal here, but there's still a lot of misperceptions and fears about it. I think it would be good for residents who have chronic pain!
