    Burn Out

    How Do you all come up with different ideas without getting burnned out?
  6. Look at your sunday newspaper there is a section on the Summer Olympics if any residents want to follow any game that they may like. St. Petersburg paper but I'm sure other states have done the same thing.
  7. parks or visit another facility with others resident with the same interest that they can build a friendship or group activities
  8. Try using different types of sports that are played during the games. use or make different colored rings to make the symbole. look at the 4th of july stuff to see if there is a trourch. use the different colored medals.
  9. It sounds like you have a head start on your activity.

    Budget

    You really can't go by an average because all companies are different. For example one facility i had worked at $.13 a day per average # of resident # days in a month it was a 120 bed facility and the facility i work in know is $.22. For example if your census is 100. 100# (residents) x 31 days x $.22 that would be buget for the month. I hope this will help
  11. welcome how are the rules for activities are there any differences?
  12. How many of you all are hourly or salary? first of all I'm salary I work long hours for our resident tring to keep the very busy and one of the big wigs is trying to say I won't get paid for the time I'll be gone because I have not finsh my 90 days I think that is a bunch of bull. What do you all think. However I do keep track of my hours by writting it done in my notebook daily
  13. WELL THAT IS A FIRST activities to loud never. Tell your assistant keep up the good work we need to be heard
  14. I check to see if they have a dr odere for alcohol if they do than it is ok but i have tricked them i will purchage na beer they think it real as well as wine then everyone can have some and not feel left out
  15. your speech therapy dept can train people to feed the residents that will make a great team if they see you helping there are more will to bring residents to activities
  16. get in touch with one of your local sate montors they might be able to help or even ask you adm person or your corp office.
  17. try to have the president of you resident councile write an artical for your facility you can even get your families in written . You would a bit suprise of the hidden talnet you have in your facility
  18. hello and welcome to our network of other activity professional. I'm in Fl
  19. I believe having the resident fill out a concer form that goes to social servies which helps getting complaints solved quicker. also i have the residents sign in. That way the resident can remember that they attended it also show the state they have control over the meeting proof that resident where there

    Review your resident councile min to see if ther are any trend that are happen, concerns, compants
  21. It is best not to relie on your facility to help with your education, so you do not feel obligated to stay with them. it does take a lot of work to become cert I know it took me a few years to complete every thing on my own. I'm proud of my self. See if you state association might be able to help in any way if you can't afford to go to class
  22. try with asking some of you families to help you;ll never know the talent that hides in the families it never hurts to ask
