Pennie 26 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hi, You asked about Activity Ass't. You are certified as an Activity director, correct? What state do you live in and do you work in Long Term Care or Ass't living? No matter which, for 300 people you should have some help! This has to keep you running constantly. Also you being one person there is no way you could meet all of the needs of the residents. I would ask for help. Maybe you are working to hard to get everything done, to many hours etc.. by doing so the the upper management may see no concern for extra help. Push for help ASAP and keep at it till they hear you. Best of luck, Pennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cindymaybe Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 You can find a really good folding poker table through LTD. I just bought my husband one for Christmas. It folds into a triangle, it seats 8, has a place for chips and drinks, has the real felt and it is awesome! By you asking this question you've given me a really good activitiy idea, Thanks!

Flgirl 0 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I put a sign up in my center asking for Bingo prize donations.You'd be surprised with the good stuff people don't want anymore. I got a lot of costume jewelery, purses,pocketbooks, perfumes,key chains and other cool stuff. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fremontca 0 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 well, the topic of physical is back... i havent had one yet, but will take the push for it even though is bothering the heck out of me. but hey... its better to be uncomfortable for a few minutes, and perhaps an hour than be less than perfect and incurable for the rest of your life i guess. still unsure what to expect and not sure if i'll like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_Heavenstar Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Bed Bath and Beyond has poker tables, but much more expensive than the $25 listed above. If you are just looking for a one time use, then contact the nearest VFW to see if they could donate the tables for the day. That is what I am doing, and they are coming to set up, take down and help run the tables -- all for free! Can't ask for anything more. Plus, they are donating cards, poker chips, and play money. They also have about 12 different games and about 20 tables. I have approx 380 residents (all independent living) and I am the only AD--- I am not certified in anything---and I don't have to be. My starting salary 4 years ago was $22,000 with a nice raise every year. I am sure in CA it is much more seeing as the Cost of Living is a lot higher than in Tx.
