2016-09-13 06:20:36 PM dorisb I had been doing resident council with the residents as the activity aid before I started this class. My biggest problem is also getting them to talk. I did take a suggestion from this class and talked to the dietary manager about a food committee. She was excited to hear about it, and she spoke at the last resident council about it. We have a new food vendor starting this week that sounds like they have some great ideas and will come out an do actvities for the residents. In a couple of weeks they are doing soda jerk day.
2016-09-13 06:20:40 PM bestkat4u have a masquerade ball and serve lunch they will dress up
2016-09-13 06:20:43 PM wms19784 We are making wreaths out of clothespins painted orange and decorated with Holloween stuff

2016-09-13 06:21:18 PM boycejudith0405 Who makes up the food committee?
2016-09-13 06:21:20 PM arepic Ahhh the spelling bees are so much fun. On the dementia unit I can get most of the residents to spell really hard words and they light up. It's fantastic. I have a couple teachers on the unit who win every spelling bee we have. Brilliant people.
2016-09-13 06:21:26 PM mark26 its easier to work if we always involved the staffs
2016-09-13 06:21:27 PM mcurtis512 yea its does
2016-09-13 06:21:28 PM shuntat1984 enter the chat room
2016-09-13 06:21:32 PM corrie we are not allowed to have the residents taste the chilli unless it is the one made by the kitchen staff at the facility due to food saftey
2016-09-13 06:21:34 PM sarah1111 spelling bee is a great idea!
2016-09-13 06:21:39 PM auazuibke0114 Yes it's always good for staffs to be working together
2016-09-13 06:21:42 PM jackiebl it's hard to find time for anything extra-
2016-09-13 06:21:48 PM bestkat4u yes and it gets the staff involed because they have to bring a resident
2016-09-13 06:21:52 PM rbordelon we are doing a party for halloween and we are inviting other facilities residents for our costume party and they will judge our costumes and also well be also voting on the best gumbo
2016-09-13 06:21:52 PM bhenderson8207 I am finding that the staff in my facility dont like to be involved. I am trying to get a staff/resident talent show together but having a hard time with lack of staff help/participation
2016-09-13 06:21:53 PM mgancarz we are also going to be holding a food drive for thanksgiving in our facility to help get staff and familys involved in our mission to help the less fortunate

2016-09-13 06:21:58 PM jessicab would many actual partipate in a spelling bee? i feel like my residents wouldnt want to do that infornt of others?
2016-09-13 06:21:59 PM jenniferezy our staff likes to do fun stuff with the residents instead of just always doing care they get to know them as people not just residents
2016-09-13 06:22:03 PM deb4321 Let the residents be the judges
2016-09-13 06:22:07 PM amandalamireider corrie, are the residents allowed to make food in a cooking activity?
2016-09-13 06:22:11 PM dorisb Where do you get the flame retardent spray? That has been our issue with decorating the door also.
2016-09-13 06:22:13 PM nursesusie Our food committee is made up of resident Don,dietary supervior
2016-09-13 06:22:16 PM reiverkimberly devancaycecole this is a big problem at my facility as well :(
2016-09-13 06:22:17 PM jessicab our residents are the judges for the costume contests
2016-09-13 06:22:19 PM jessicab really fun

2016-09-13 06:22:39 PM djc6540 Yes residents judging staff costume contests is so fun!
2016-09-13 06:22:42 PM auazuibke0114 it sure will be so much fun
2016-09-13 06:22:43 PM corrie it is a toss up about them making the food. they have to put on gloves and eat the stuff they made only
2016-09-13 06:22:44 PM haliea we like to get "celeb" judges the residents go crazy for those
2016-09-13 06:22:44 PM jessicab our food committee is made of residents from resident council and then the sub committee
2016-09-13 06:22:45 PM jenniferezy we having cooking club as well each residedent makes their own food that they are going to eat
2016-09-13 06:22:47 PM bhenderson8207 Our director of maintenance has the flame retardent spray, I am sure she gets it from the company we get chemical from
2016-09-13 06:22:49 PM mtg1071 enter the chat room
2016-09-13 06:22:50 PM kathyhughes Jennifer I would try it I bet that they would become involved
2016-09-13 06:22:57 PM mcurtis512 they love when we dress up
2016-09-13 06:22:59 PM saraurb residents love to get involved with judging contests at our facility
2016-09-13 06:23:25 PM devancaycecole I agreee Kim I am worried about the turn out. I work with independent seniors and my participation in activities is usually pretty low
2016-09-13 06:23:38 PM rebeccaa we have a school beside us and the school children walk over dressed up and the residents judge their costumes and hand out candy. Fun
2016-09-13 06:23:44 PM boycejudith0405 I think the main problem with getting staff involved is that they are extremely busy with passing meds, changing depends, getting residents dressed, hair groomed, feed, they need more help
2016-09-13 06:23:46 PM jenniferezy oh my staff loves to get with the residents we just had a dunking booth ,, the residentds were able to dunk their staff
2016-09-13 06:23:48 PM amandalamireider so I guess making cookies for everyone is out as an activity... We always wear gloves and wash our hands when we do a cooking activity, but I can see why some places would be extra careful.
2016-09-13 06:23:51 PM deb4321 I feel it's their home they should have a say in everything we do
2016-09-13 06:23:55 PM rbordelon oh they love how creative some of our cosetumes are
2016-09-13 06:23:55 PM bestkat4u they love the kids

2016-09-13 06:24:31 PM mcurtis512 I ask my residents they give we nothing
2016-09-13 06:24:40 PM bhenderson8207 how do you go about getting help from family members?
2016-09-13 06:24:43 PM jessicab everyone brings their kids in and we parade them around!

2016-09-13 06:25:03 PM reiverkimberly djc6540 I have a local pre-school/daycare that comes in and parads in their costumes for the residents
2016-09-13 06:25:05 PM angelasulli we have a local day care come in and trick and treat
2016-09-13 06:25:06 PM corrie we have a cookie oven that makes one sheet of cookies. it is activities and we just take it to the dining room for them to use but, they can not share the ones they make.
2016-09-13 06:25:06 PM auazuibke0114 Family members involvement is a really good experience
2016-09-13 06:25:07 PM angelamscott I have a few faithful families who participate. I would like more.
2016-09-13 06:25:10 PM jessicab maybe you can get girlscouts to come in dressed up?
2016-09-13 06:25:19 PM djc6540 Oh thanks for the ideas!!! That will be great

2016-09-13 06:25:45 PM rebeccaa You can always send out newsletters to family member expressing your need for volunteers whether it be decorating for christmas, outings, crafts,etc
2016-09-13 06:25:45 PM sarah1111 I hope we can have kids come dressed up
2016-09-13 06:25:47 PM auazuibke0114 I like all your ideas
2016-09-13 06:25:50 PM jackiebl i just got some info on the girl scout's silver lining project that our ombudsman left
2016-09-13 06:25:56 PM corrie that would be nice jennifer but there is no room for such things in my facility
2016-09-13 06:26:02 PM mcurtis512 we can use our dieatry kitchen being that me and co workers are former dietary aides
2016-09-13 06:26:23 PM dorisb There are things you can buy to treat the real pumpkins with so they don't rot so fast.
2016-09-13 06:26:26 PM angelamscott October is not my favorite month for ideas. I like what I am reading.

2016-09-13 06:28:11 PM nleary22 I was thinking a good way to get family involved would be to send them emails monthly of pictures taken of their family member and the activities that they have done. I dont think that family members who are not there on the regular know what we do and their family member does. I thought that might help in getting them to be more eager to come to family nights and so on. And feeling like they know more of what they are doing when they are not there.
