2020-04-15 06:10:08 PM elaine We've been doing "mind travel" to locations chosen by residents: wear costumes, play music, talk about trivia, eat snacks/drinks from different destinations

2020-04-15 06:12:58 PM ruthiesister oo good how are you patients doing with this ,
2020-04-15 06:13:48 PM elaine Some need frequent reminders to cover their nose and mouth with the mask. They tend to wear it around their neck
2020-04-15 06:13:51 PM amyc84 they are over it, we also had to stop smoking in our building and no outside food brought in
2020-04-15 06:14:41 PM ruthiesister yea it is getting very hard for the patients this is a very long time to be in their rooms
2020-04-15 06:15:14 PM elaine Most residents stay in their rooms, but we have the travelers that don't have the cognition to stay 6 feet away
2020-04-15 06:15:27 PM ruthiesister so i started taking crazy selfie printing them and wearing them on my shirt because they can see my face so i started to try and make it fun

2020-04-22 06:11:42 PM elaine The residents are getting used to being spoiled with snacks in the afternoon, because we've been "mind traveling to different places.

2020-04-22 06:20:05 PM angelaawaters I heard of a drive by in other facilites, sounds like a great idea. but my residents are different

2020-04-22 06:20:35 PM ashleymorris17 i made up posters with the residents holding signs up with messages on them and decorated them real nice and mailed them to the families for easter

2020-04-22 06:27:20 PM angelaawaters Cream pies sound good, but 130 residents? Cupcakes a little easier.
