Wow, what a nice idea.  ----- Original Message ----- From: Dorothy To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2004 10:46 AM Subject: Re: Assigned Seating At 08:35 PM 4/30/2004 -0400, you wrote: Never heard of this regulation, many homes do this, and when a resident, who chooses her seat and becomes known as "her" place at the table, a new resident, or even visitor, mistakenly sitting there, causes a big uproar.  They really have so little to do with making independent decisions on their daily life, we encourage this, for all residents. I never heard of it either, but whenever someone comes up with something like this, I always like to double check. It was a discussion about a situation similar to what you mention that prompted my suggestion to assign seating. I've worked in several places that used assigned seating to avoid these uproars. The last place I worked did a really nice job of this with fancy place cards and place mats. Now I'm wishing there were a citation that showed this is allowed. Thanks for your response.
