Grateful for Golden Carers! This site offers so much content. I oversee 20 communities and sharing new information is a blessing! Sometimes we find ourselves in a rut....thanks for ideas I've never thought about!
Sandra, this is not an uncommon situation to be short handed, everyone is. My facility does the same thing but they have hired 2 part time people that are not CENAS and can not really be pulled to the floor for direct care. maybe you could talk to the powers that be and remind them that recreation department is suffering and pass along the idea of hiring at least one part time person that could fill in.
I always appreciate your new ideas and suggestions. It certainly helps in the creativity and idea areas immensely. Keep up the great emotional support that you provide!
Thank you for your kind words
Sounds like you have a big job and glad this site helps you with it
Keep up the good work
Thanks again
I’d like your idea. I hope it works.
