2020-03-10 06:27:59 PM jessiev1 I would love a Glee Club, but my residents won't even do karaoke.
2020-03-10 06:28:08 PM akolb if its the assignment about the calenders from other facilities, there is nursing home, assisted living, day care, senior center, hospice
2020-03-10 06:28:25 PM taylorracine my residents will do karaoke once we get them into it
2020-03-10 06:28:26 PM vallen but i am really going to have to research them i am not aware that there are all five of them close
2020-03-10 06:28:29 PM tiffym73 Maybe having the residents make their big hats and make the derby drinks, and even fake betting
2020-03-10 06:28:30 PM kavitajc We have karaoke competition
2020-03-10 06:28:36 PM jessicabaucom Jessie that is sad our residents like doing that
2020-03-10 06:28:42 PM akolb those are what i used i am close with other facilities around me and called getting the activity directors they emailed me their calendars
2020-03-10 06:28:52 PM sluyterbbeka left the chat room

2020-03-10 06:29:37 PM pjbell im a horrible singer but they love it
2020-03-10 06:29:38 PM akolb you will learn that many facilities around you have similar calendars if you tell the directors what your asking them for majority will help if you cant make it in person
2020-03-10 06:29:41 PM tiffanyhill180 exactly what i wasdoing the whole hat idea
2020-03-10 06:29:42 PM taylorracine we also like to do charades- it's the best when we can get the residents up front to act something out!
2020-03-10 06:29:45 PM kavitajc It is they sing for prizes and other residents vote who wins
2020-03-10 06:29:57 PM akolb and they may know other facilities too to contact
2020-03-10 06:30:21 PM pjbell prizes always work
2020-03-10 06:30:28 PM jessiev1 My assisted living residents are picky, they request things and when I implement them, they refuse participation. For example,the last two months of palnning meetings for them they insisted they wanted the Drum Circle woman to return, I had her come in this month and only 3 participated, the rest refused.
2020-03-10 06:30:29 PM vallen we do crosswords all the time
2020-03-10 06:30:32 PM jessicabaucom how about price is right?

2020-03-10 06:31:03 PM jessiev1 Yes
2020-03-10 06:31:10 PM jessicabaucom Jessie hate when that happens and the residents ask for them to come back
2020-03-10 06:31:11 PM pjbell some
2020-03-10 06:31:14 PM taylorracine it is so frustrating when the residents request something and then refuse it once we do it for them
2020-03-10 06:31:28 PM pjbell yes it is
2020-03-10 06:31:37 PM kavitajc We have a local theater come and act out plays for our residents they just did the lion king
2020-03-10 06:31:38 PM jessiev1 Yep
2020-03-10 06:31:47 PM pjbell like the resident that sks for it then refues
2020-03-10 06:31:48 PM jessicabaucom oh that's cool
2020-03-10 06:31:51 PM kavitajc Yes that not fun
2020-03-10 06:31:51 PM srolle I know they can't make up their minds
2020-03-10 06:31:55 PM emilyac I wish we had a theater group like that!
