2016-10-13 06:52:27 PM tlgst16 Have any of you heard of Rent the chicken? I highly recommend it. It's a program where you rent an incubater and eggs and the residents keep track and you hatch the chickens. Then they come back in two weeks and collect the chicks (they start really getting big). It was a very successful program at Easter time.
2016-10-13 06:52:38 PM janet35 thank you Aziniti

2016-10-17 07:09:55 PM katierdale yes
2016-10-17 07:10:10 PM boycejudith0405 no - I won a scholarship at work - it was a very large facility
2016-10-17 07:10:24 PM katierdale Sweet deal! Are you gonna pursue the MEPAP2 and get certified?
2016-10-17 07:10:56 PM boycejudith0405 I am not sure - I am 61 years old - not sure at this point. I attending the Professional Association here in town and liked it a lot
2016-10-17 07:11:24 PM boycejudith0405 I was thinking of doing the home care certificate - it might not be as overwhelming for me
2016-10-17 07:12:03 PM katierdale well whatever you decide you should have time. 61 is a good time to start I think.
2016-10-17 07:12:22 PM boycejudith0405 really - cause I feel really old at times
2016-10-17 07:12:23 PM katierdale unless your energy/health aren't up to it.
2016-10-17 07:12:51 PM boycejudith0405 I worked night shift 11 - 7: am for a year - and I am recovering from it - not much stamina - not sure
2016-10-17 07:13:49 PM boycejudith0405 I was a secretary for over 30 years - and then when I was caring for my mother here at home I got trained for elderly care STNA - got on the state regislry
2016-10-17 07:13:50 PM katierdale so what preparations or responsibilities did you have in the trip to the zoo?
2016-10-17 07:14:20 PM boycejudith0405 I was a volunteer - so our Activity Director actually planned it - our residnets loved it and the weather was perfect
2016-10-17 07:14:28 PM katierdale oh you already went!
2016-10-17 07:14:33 PM boycejudith0405 yes -
2016-10-17 07:14:37 PM katierdale ok here I am thinking you haven't gone yet lol
2016-10-17 07:14:54 PM katierdale I was gonna say, that might be too cold in OH to try it now
2016-10-17 07:14:54 PM boycejudith0405 How long have you been a director? How big is your dept?
2016-10-17 07:15:07 PM boycejudith0405 it was 82 degrees today -
2016-10-17 07:15:21 PM katierdale I'm the only one in my dept. I have been a director almost 2 years.
2016-10-17 07:15:25 PM katierdale wow nice
2016-10-17 07:15:36 PM boycejudith0405 How big your facility?
2016-10-17 07:16:28 PM katierdale The AL level is funny, if you have a mem care like we do you need someone in the building to have a AD Certification. We have one now, but while we didn't for a while my ED said I needed to get certified. We have about 114 "beds" - we're half full now.
2016-10-17 07:16:33 PM boycejudith0405 Tell me about your Phantom project - I am going to go see the Phantom broadway production in November in Cincinnati
2016-10-17 07:16:57 PM katierdale oh sweet. you'll love it - my husband and I saw it last year in NYC. It was phenominal.
2016-10-17 07:17:08 PM boycejudith0405 I think we have 150 beds, - with a waiting list
2016-10-17 07:17:13 PM katierdale WOW
2016-10-17 07:18:25 PM boycejudith0405 the nursing home I was at was even bigger - they had 90 beds, with a huge big wait list - and 150 Independent Living Villas - they broke ground to expand
2016-10-17 07:19:00 PM boycejudith0405 30 in Skilled, and 30 in Dementia - 30 Assisted Living - and the wait list is very big - so they are expanding
2016-10-17 07:19:08 PM katierdale So this month Brookdale celebrates the musical and we have to have a theme event where we incorporate the music and decor, set the tone with ambiance. I had the residents make masks (that is, those who wanted to do it which was like 10 altogether), then we'll do centerpieces for the tables next week. We are making it our halloween party too. Candles for centerpieces (battery operated of courses)
2016-10-17 07:20:08 PM katierdale I'm trying to get the HS down the street to perform Phantom of the Opera music for the residents, even if it's just a song or two - really praying that works out for entertainment sake.
2016-10-17 07:20:09 PM boycejudith0405 very nice - that is the best music ever written in my opinion - I went with my husband to Toronto to see it
2016-10-17 07:20:18 PM katierdale Yeah it's dramatic and so full
2016-10-17 07:20:25 PM katierdale very beautiful indeed
2016-10-17 07:20:48 PM katierdale If the HS can't perform I'll play the soundtrack on my wireless speaker and use my Amazon playlists
2016-10-17 07:21:01 PM katierdale I also have the piano music and I can play it on there
2016-10-17 07:21:11 PM katierdale (I'm a little rusty though)
2016-10-17 07:21:34 PM katierdale I wanted to get someone from my church to come in and perform as the Phantom cuz he's into opera but he never got back to me
2016-10-17 07:21:57 PM boycejudith0405 OH - keep trying that wounds very dramatic
2016-10-17 07:22:38 PM boycejudith0405 I have another question - when you said about one person in building has to be AD certified - is that state of Texas or national?
2016-10-17 07:23:11 PM katierdale not sure.
2016-10-17 07:23:21 PM boycejudith0405 You might want to try a local University to come play music - they are free
2016-10-17 07:23:31 PM katierdale At least if you have a mem care or if it's skilled - not mandatory if you're in an AL or IL
2016-10-17 07:23:44 PM katierdale hm yeah I didn't think of that!
2016-10-17 07:24:04 PM katierdale shoot, I wish these things would just work out. sometimes I reach out to people and I don't hear back or anything
2016-10-17 07:24:19 PM boycejudith0405 Yes I believe that is the same in Ohio - must have someone in building certified. Laws are different in Assited Living
2016-10-17 07:25:21 PM katierdale I'm wondering what game to play -- maybe!! I think I can hide a white mask under a random person's chair and everyone has to look under their chair for a mask? person who has it wins a prize?
2016-10-17 07:25:32 PM boycejudith0405 We had a musical university come play and the residents loved it - they were all dressed up in black and played Orchestra - beautiful
2016-10-17 07:25:42 PM katierdale that is great
2016-10-17 07:25:50 PM lisa2 enter the chat room
2016-10-17 07:26:06 PM katierdale I also wanted to incorporate a coloring page contest and only a few have shown any real interest to color it
2016-10-17 07:26:08 PM boycejudith0405 I like that hidden mask idea - one thing about Phantom - a lot of drama
2016-10-17 07:26:36 PM boycejudith0405 maybe you could play muisc from Phanton a head of time - get them in the mood
2016-10-17 07:26:38 PM katierdale would be neat to have a performance and by now it's too late to ask anyone else, don't you think?
2016-10-17 07:26:48 PM katierdale ahead of time like during the month?
2016-10-17 07:26:49 PM boycejudith0405 Never too late - go for it
2016-10-17 07:27:39 PM boycejudith0405 sometimes even marching bands - or private piano performers will come out and play for residents - people really like making people smile
2016-10-17 07:27:40 PM katierdale I showed the movie the first week and played some of the music during exercise class
2016-10-17 07:28:07 PM boycejudith0405 great way to get residents thinking "Phantom " - way to GO
2016-10-17 07:28:16 PM boycejudith0405 when is the big day?
2016-10-17 07:28:29 PM katierdale but they don't always show to the movie and sometimes the music is too much for them, they say
2016-10-17 07:28:34 PM katierdale next Thursday, the 27th
2016-10-17 07:28:41 PM boycejudith0405 who is "They" nursing staf?
2016-10-17 07:28:45 PM katierdale residents
2016-10-17 07:28:57 PM katierdale the ones who saw the movie loved it though
2016-10-17 07:29:04 PM lisa2 left the chat room
2016-10-17 07:29:20 PM boycejudith0405 I think the residents will all have a good time - it sounds like you did a great job planning it - You need to get some voluneers in there to hel pyou
2016-10-17 07:29:37 PM katierdale yes I have at least 2 volunteers coming out that night
2016-10-17 07:29:53 PM boycejudith0405 OK - good
2016-10-17 07:30:26 PM katierdale it's dinner 5:00pm and then after they eat I wanted to do awards for the contests - coloring page, best mask, need another contest for a prize
