You are very fortunate that you can choose what you feel is most "user friendly" for your department. We must use only what corporate has on the computer fro us so that pretty much narrows it down!Amy

My name is Amy DeWall and I work as an Activity Director for ManorCare in Shawano, WI which is about 30 miles west of Green Bay,WI. (GO PACK GO). I have been with the Corporation for about 16 months and enjoy my job and the residents. I face barriers as everyone does; such as the budget being sooo small and staffing etc.. but for the most part it has been an overall wonderful experience for me. Our facility is half rehab and half long-term care which keeps things interesting. My position is very fast-paced and I am involved with many other committees and help with admissions, never a dull moment. I feel that my job teaches me many valuable "life lessons" that I may have never encountered had I not landed into this position and for that I am very thankful.

We did get one at our facility and it was to be used for therapy and activities BUT when it came therapy would not let us use d/t the head of therapy saying that it is d/t some "safety issues"?? This has not been to long ago and we have a few interim administrators and I have not wanted to bother them with this petty issue but hope to resolve this issue soon! Amy
