2019-01-23 07:19:05 PM angelagalloway Sometimes we will have a lunch outing.
2019-01-23 07:19:16 PM malloryjbean I've never had a lunchoen, but we have done lunch outings.
2019-01-23 07:19:19 PM klinetiffany Yes, we do "lunch-ins and lunch-outs"

2019-01-23 07:19:41 PM klinetiffany yes
2019-01-23 07:19:58 PM ruthiesister there is a eason behind it ,,
2019-01-23 07:20:02 PM ruthiesister reason
2019-01-23 07:20:06 PM salinass i mainly work with memory care, but we do have luncheons with them. we had a thanksgiving/chritmas luncheon.
2019-01-23 07:20:15 PM malloryjbean I've never thought to eat lunch with my residents. I don;t know what the health regs are with that type of stuff. If i'm in a dining area, it is usually to help feel my memory care residents
2019-01-23 07:20:26 PM malloryjbean *feed...not feel.
2019-01-23 07:20:32 PM sgross we had 15 volunteers however we moved to a new location and now we have only one
2019-01-23 07:20:35 PM malloryjbean it's been a long day!
2019-01-23 07:20:41 PM salinass we are encouraged to eat lunch with our residents. but lately i have not been able to
2019-01-23 07:20:46 PM ruthiesister how about any of your rehab people ,
2019-01-23 07:21:04 PM angelagalloway We don't have any rehab people at our facility.
2019-01-23 07:21:10 PM ruthiesister can i tell you why it is inportant
2019-01-23 07:21:17 PM angelagalloway Yes, please.
2019-01-23 07:21:17 PM ruthiesister ok
2019-01-23 07:21:25 PM sgross i enjoy eating with my participant however my manager doesnt want us too
2019-01-23 07:21:43 PM salinass a lot of my residents are ltc, but we do have some that come in for rehab and they leave after 2 to 3 months
2019-01-23 07:21:46 PM ruthiesister when sit and eat with them , you talk to them as people not as a worker
2019-01-23 07:21:56 PM salinass that is right ruthie
2019-01-23 07:22:07 PM sgross i agree
2019-01-23 07:22:09 PM ruthiesister and most time they will open up to you and you will earn a lot more about them
2019-01-23 07:22:26 PM salinass it makes them feel better too and a lot more comfortable
2019-01-23 07:22:28 PM sgross thats right
2019-01-23 07:22:29 PM angelagalloway I think that is true for any resident - rehabe or not.
2019-01-23 07:22:41 PM angelagalloway rehab*
2019-01-23 07:23:00 PM klinetiffany Yes we go out to eat with them and go out to eat with them
2019-01-23 07:23:09 PM ruthiesister right ,, so in a rehab when you only have a week or so to help them ,, it make life eassier to eat with them and know them
2019-01-23 07:23:27 PM salinass very true
2019-01-23 07:23:28 PM klinetiffany makes sense
2019-01-23 07:23:34 PM ruthiesister find there likes and dislike
2019-01-23 07:23:47 PM malloryjbean That's a great point!
2019-01-23 07:23:50 PM ruthiesister they are more willing to give things a go ,, with you ,
2019-01-23 07:23:58 PM salinass make small talk with and you can learn a lot about them in one conversation
2019-01-23 07:24:01 PM ruthiesister even if it
2019-01-23 07:24:16 PM ruthiesister not there thing ,, they trust you
2019-01-23 07:24:17 PM angelagalloway Would that also count as 1:1?
2019-01-23 07:24:22 PM sgross i love to small ta;lk with my participants
2019-01-23 07:24:28 PM klinetiffany Even the grumpiest of residents enjoy to be taken the time to get to know lol
2019-01-23 07:24:39 PM salinass i do count it as a one to one
2019-01-23 07:24:41 PM angelagalloway I am finding getting people to participate in activities is so difficult lately.
2019-01-23 07:24:42 PM klinetiffany Yes
2019-01-23 07:24:44 PM ruthiesister sure , i try to get as many swb people as i can making it very social
