I work in a large facility spread over 4 floors and our main challenge is spending time getting residents to activities. I'm interested to hear what others do to gather people in a timely way.

Hi Andrea, I wish I had a simple answer for you. I had the same problem when I worked by myself on weekends. My dilemma was that while I was bringing clients to the activities area I was leaving a bunch of clients sitting alone in the recreation area. We all know we shouldn’t leave a group of elders unsupervised. I took my concern to the management and the nurses started bringing them or watching the clients while I did it. It is very difficult without help from the nurses or volunteers especially in a facility with four floors. My suggestion is for you to take your concern to the nurses meeting and appeal for help. Best wishes.

I am absolutely thrilled to see Israel is in Armchair travel. My residents are going to be thrilled to bits. Thank you for all the information in the past. Really opened my eyes and brought joy to others.
