Hi, my name is Chrystal..I have been an Activity Director for now 2 years and going..I was an assistant Activity Director..When the other Activity Director retired..I was feeling the same as you..All I can say that I am still taking courses for Activity Director...It has alot of things for ppl to know for this position..I was worried that I wasn't cut out for this type of thing...And I still have my doubts at times...But, I try to take one day at a time and Pray that GOD would guide me and help me in ways that can make me wiser and to know what steps to take to help the ppl that I have at my facility..I have only 23 residents..I am taking my time right now that the census are low to regroup and try to do things differently..I know alot of time I don't have alot of participation..I get really discouraged and really frustrated that I cannot get anyone to do an activity..And my 1:1's are frustrating too..So, please if there is anything that I can help you with or if you need to speak to someone I will try to help you ok...E-mail is Hchrystal618@aol.com or heavenbound1971@yahoo.com Please hang in there and trust GOD that he can guide you...I DO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH..
Thanks,
Chrystal Hoyle
