DixieB 0 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hi, My name is Dixie, I work in a LTC. Have recently taken over Activity Dept. Have 1 an 1/2 helpers. We are currently at 50, but really working hard to add new family members. Was previously Head Housekeeper/Laundry Supervisor for 2 1/2 years. Have been with the facility for 5 years. Haven't had much of training yet, but do go this month for the 36 hour course. Luckly the old AD helps me out a lot, she was promoted to SS. So things are looking real good right now. Know I have a lot to learn, but with God's help all things will turn out. Love being the elderly and know that is where it should all start. All the paper work is a little scary at times, but hope to deal with all of it too. Have been reading this board and find it is a really great place.

We will be glad to help you in any way we can...just let us know your questions. There are many websites on the net that can help you out with ideas. Some sites are pay sites, but many are free. Check out the Web Links page listed on the left hand side of this page. You will find a lot of help here. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't invite you to visit my site, The Activity Director's Office, and download our free e-magazine, Activity Director Monthly. Many activity professionals from across the country contribute monthly articles to its pages. Again, welcome aboard. You have chosen a challenging, yet, rewarding profession. We all wish you the very best in your endeavors. Sincerely ;-) Edited August 8, 2006 by lllucas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
