2016-06-30 06:26:30 PM jackie26 we use the dinning room when is available

2016-06-30 06:35:14 PM michelle145 Care palns are based off of the activity assessment to find out what someones goal and likes are for activities
2016-06-30 06:35:27 PM kathyhughes and it is suppose to be that the resident writes what they want and how they want their day to go

2016-06-30 06:36:50 PM michelle145 The residents don't fill it out you do you just sa I and Jack will play bingo
2016-06-30 06:36:51 PM wrendillon The resident doesn't do it. You would write it for them, but like "I enjoy bingo, so please get me early so I can pick outmycard"
2016-06-30 06:36:52 PM belindaf so its a "design a day"plan

2016-06-30 06:37:24 PM belindaf it s in 3rd person!!!
2016-06-30 06:37:37 PM amber88 its better than the traditional care plans. thats how I write them. instead of using their name or Mr. Smith or such just use I
2016-06-30 06:37:39 PM michelle145 Kind of
2016-06-30 06:38:12 PM jackie26 i only fill the form with all the questions on it that is all

2016-06-30 06:46:28 PM wrendillon My gang like a game called "Count Down". You make a game card with your inert table function and have 12 numbered squares. They roll two dice and put a chip on what they've rolled. First one to cover all 12 wins. Strategy: If I roll a 4 and a 3, I can either cover the 4 and 3 or the 7. Higher numbers are so much harder to roll.
2016-06-30 06:46:29 PM jackie26 i order from S&S a lot of games
