2018-08-17 10:17:19 AM tealbesing what is your big prize?
2018-08-17 10:18:22 AM tealbesing are you having a hard time getting all of the assignments done?
2018-08-17 10:18:46 AM victoriag They will winn money but they do not have to pay to play we have the chips for them to play with also.

2018-08-17 10:19:37 AM tealbesing me too
2018-08-17 10:20:25 AM tealbesing I feel like I am way behind
2018-08-17 10:20:28 AM victoriag How many people will be going on your trip and is your facility paying for there admision or do your residents have to?
2018-08-17 10:20:45 AM victoriag What do you have left to do?
2018-08-17 10:21:18 AM tealbesing it is non profit and they do tours, we will give a donation. There will be about 8-10
2018-08-17 10:22:27 AM tealbesing 4 more scavenger hunts, table tent, activities display, compare and contrast
2018-08-17 10:22:45 AM victoriag Thats awesome I wish we had more things in our community. What helped me is i made a to do list in order of what needs to be done first and just worked down the list.
2018-08-17 10:23:03 AM tealbesing that's what I'm doing too
2018-08-17 10:23:25 AM tealbesing the compare and contrast is not going to be easy for me
2018-08-17 10:23:55 AM tealbesing and i'm also working on the extra credit powerpoint
2018-08-17 10:24:49 AM tealbesing is there a state test after this course, or do we have to take the MEPAP 2 and then the test
2018-08-17 10:25:32 AM tealbesing Have you taken the final test here yet
2018-08-17 10:30:16 AM victoriag Yes I have took the test. I dont believe there is a state test im not sure though I was wondering the same thing. I think if you want to continue to work for the national you will have to take MEPAP2 course plus the other requirments.
2018-08-17 10:30:55 AM victoriag national certification
2018-08-17 10:31:19 AM tealbesing how did you do on the test?

2018-08-17 10:34:07 AM tealbesing is there a lot on regs?
2018-08-17 10:35:26 AM victoriag It wasnt bad, some of the questions confuesed me a little and I over thought them so just dont overthink them.
2018-08-17 10:36:35 AM tealbesing I'm going to be taking mine I think Sunday
2018-08-17 10:38:50 AM victoriag I took mine yesterday because i was off so I had my house to myself so none could destract me, but you will do good.

2018-09-18 07:05:37 PM rwwright18 We had a king and queen coronation following a meal then we danced for 2 hours
2018-09-18 07:06:09 PM tashapetit enter the chat room
2018-09-18 07:06:11 PM jessicaw87 this is our first year doing it so I don't konw if it will go as planned but we are going to have snack foods, punch, a dance area, a DJ was provided by hospice, and alot of the families are coming. A local thrift store donated the clothes but we are still looking for more, we are short on plus sized dresses
2018-09-18 07:06:36 PM rwwright18 I have 168 residents with 1 assistant. Im drowning. Ive beed director for 2 months. THis is compounded by all the homework for the class.
2018-09-18 07:06:43 PM conniefellers That sounds like fun. Do you have residents that ambulate on their own, rwwright18?
2018-09-18 07:06:51 PM jessicaw87 we also are gonna crown a king and queen. we tallied the votes today and the residents who won actually are a couple lol
2018-09-18 07:07:28 PM conniefellers That sounds great, Jessicaw87. I bet they will love it
2018-09-18 07:07:37 PM conniefellers I would love to see pictures

2018-09-18 07:08:41 PM jessicaw87 My advice is take it 1 day at a time rwwrite. I was the only activities person for 4 weeks after hurricane harvey so i understand that feeling very well. I thought I was gonna have a melt down by week 2 lol

2018-09-18 07:09:19 PM heatherr sorry everyone stepped away to grab a bite to eat quick. Haven't had a chance to eat yet today.
2018-09-18 07:09:23 PM rwwright18 Oh wow, Jess. I can not imagine

2018-09-18 07:09:53 PM jessicaw87 i was also poorly trained. My first day working as a full time activities assisstant was my first day back from harvey
2018-09-18 07:10:24 PM jessicaw87 i was 16 hours a week part timer before that
2018-09-18 07:10:35 PM rwwright18 coronation at 7:30 then dance til 9-10pm Just depends on your residents. THen all the staff went out for a time of R&R afterwards!
2018-09-18 07:11:08 PM heatherr what type of facility rwright?
2018-09-18 07:11:14 PM conniefellers Wow! I could never get my residents to stay awake that late.

2018-09-18 07:12:09 PM jessicaw87 we have alot of night owls at my facility. I learned that my first halloween lol. they dont want to go to bed as long as kids might show up
2018-09-18 07:12:35 PM rwwright18 always a kid at hart right???
2018-09-18 07:12:48 PM rwwright18 heart-cant type tonight
2018-09-18 07:12:59 PM heatherr so do you do your trick or treating on halloween or do you do it on a different day?
2018-09-18 07:13:04 PM conniefellers I have only been working here for about six months now so I am having lots of new expereiences.
2018-09-18 07:13:09 PM jessicaw87 yup lol especially in my part of texas. it seems like no one sleeps around here
2018-09-18 07:13:21 PM rwwright18 yu are in Houston?
2018-09-18 07:13:35 PM rwwright18 We do halloween
2018-09-18 07:13:36 PM jessicaw87 near it. I live 20 minutes outside of beaumont
2018-09-18 07:14:00 PM conniefellers Yes we are having Trick Or Treat. The staff and residents can invite their kids, grandkids etc and activities provides the candy for the residents to pass out
2018-09-18 07:14:06 PM rwwright18 oh ok. I am just above Austin
2018-09-18 07:14:34 PM conniefellers Im in Columbus Ohio
2018-09-18 07:14:39 PM rwwright18 We have a fall festival on the 27 plus trunk or treat-CRAZY!!
2018-09-18 07:14:47 PM jessicaw87 we are doing trick or treat too. we start asking for candy donations in September
2018-09-18 07:14:47 PM heatherr We do the great pumpkin walk, however it's always held the sat. before halloween.
2018-09-18 07:15:03 PM conniefellers what is a great pumpkin walk?
2018-09-18 07:15:10 PM heatherr I just finished my candy donation box today! lol
2018-09-18 07:15:12 PM rwwright18 Pumpkin walk?
2018-09-18 07:18:11 PM heatherr It's basically trick or treating. We welcome the community to come from 10:00am till 12. Pumpkins are stuck to the floor so that the kids stay on path. I don't typically let kids go room to room. Not all residents participate and I just feel as if it's an invation of privacy, so we create a pumpkin path throughout our facility and place all resident's who wish to participate along the path. Our trick or treaters love it and so do our residents.
2018-09-18 07:19:39 PM heatherr first year we had only about 75 kids. I had so much candy that we just had them go through a few times. last year we had over 200. I figured I'd better start my donation requests sooner than later.
2018-09-18 07:20:06 PM rwwright18 Wow! That is a great idea!
2018-09-18 07:20:21 PM jessicaw87 that is similar to what we do for our front walk. we have a long front walk way do we line it with some sort of light up decorations for the kids to follow to our front door where the residetns are waiting outside. we made ghost lanterns out of whit christmas lights and milk jugs 1 year
2018-09-18 07:20:23 PM heatherr It really works well
2018-09-18 07:20:23 PM conniefellers that is a really good way to do it, heatherr. Im going to adopt that for my facility. Thank you
2018-09-18 07:21:42 PM conniefellers Okay everyone. Have a great rest of your evening. Thank you for all of the great ideas. You are all wonderful. :-)
2018-09-18 07:22:07 PM rwwright18 Im signing off too. homework waiting...:D

2018-09-18 07:22:48 PM heatherr I thought about opening it up to family participation this year. Having it start in our parking lot with families. Kids could trunk or treat first then proceed into the facility for the resident trick or treating. Not sure yet if I will or not, but it was an idea I had.
2018-09-18 07:22:55 PM jessicaw87 I have to go as well. Goodnight yall and have a great rest of the week. I will see if my boss will let me post some of those prom pictures to the class forum
