2016-10-25 05:52:56 PM cynthiasickler we're a 5 star facility too, sometimes i wonder. terrible to say but i cant lie. we always get great surveys but sometimes i feel like they are spending too much time on charts and deceased residents rather than looking at the residents themselves.

2016-10-25 06:08:57 PM marissavega1274 we hang posters in the elevators
2016-10-25 06:08:58 PM chaplaindeb We have this weird tradition called the Turkey trot. We have two teams. Each team gets a frozen turkey. We have a relay: first person has to put a DEPENDS on the turkey and sit in a wheelchair. Then they have wheel it to the end of the hall. Then hand it off to someone who puts it on a walker and runs it to the end of the other hall. Then the last person picks it up and runs it over the finish line. Winning team gets a Thanksgiving basket.
2016-10-25 06:09:01 PM chaplaindeb I hate it.
2016-10-25 06:09:05 PM mbowie0280 We are also sending invitations to families that way they all will be informed about whats happning
