hello everyone,
well to start off with i need some advice on how to handle my asst. i am new to my facitlity i have only been there two weeks. i am the activity director and well my asst has been there for 10 years she first worked in the kitchen and then went to the activity department. already i am having trouble with her .. when i first got there i told her that if she needed anything to ask me we are there to help each other and far more importantly for the residents. i have a ton of meeting i have to go to in the mornings and she handles the activities while i am in the meeting. but they do the same things over and over again they don't do triva and or crosswords so i introduce them to her. Then i want to get the residents excited about exercising so i told my asst that i was going to buy an dance exersice tape.. She told me the residents don't like to exercise and said that if i bought the tape then i could try it on them first and if they liked it she would contuine it.. like she was the boss.. She disappears without telling me and takes long lunch breaks etc...its starting to get worse and i need some advice.
