2013-07-10 06:06:48 PM stevemelton My plan is to be an AD soon. Can't afford not to work too much longer. I did a career change and thought this is what I wanted to do: work with seniors. I am halfway thru MEPAP 1

2013-07-10 06:08:24 PM stevemelton To Kurth: have you tried contacting the help deslk, filling the ticket out. That should be an easy fix for them I would think
2013-07-10 06:08:26 PM dleonard I too am in 050713
2013-07-10 06:08:34 PM brycegray I do 14, 30, 60, 90 day notes.
2013-07-10 06:08:37 PM krkurth i like the way the website is set up, very easy to find things in order to submit them
2013-07-10 06:08:39 PM letroces4 the only daily that we do is for the daily attendance and the room visits, for a few residents who has it
2013-07-10 06:08:40 PM rvmann My attendance notes include a page for incidentals on the back side.
2013-07-10 06:08:45 PM angel4aml18 jamie i used to do notes fo 14, 30, 60 but my MDS coordinator said since I didn't have to enter MDS info I didn't have to write a note
2013-07-10 06:08:55 PM juniorbull im in 070213 mepap 1
2013-07-10 06:08:58 PM jamieblue I do that to panderson62.
2013-07-10 06:09:01 PM letroces4 ours is just a front page... nothing on the back
2013-07-10 06:09:02 PM rvmann I do daily visits for every resident in my facility.
2013-07-10 06:09:08 PM krkurth dleonard, (sidenote) we must plan another skype...
2013-07-10 06:09:09 PM brycegray If I have a resident that has a change (but not an MDS significant change), I always chart the change and update their careplan.
2013-07-10 06:09:15 PM lynnet how many residents rvmann
2013-07-10 06:09:30 PM rvmann So put a place to take notes on the back. Only 25 right now but even with twice that I do
2013-07-10 06:09:32 PM jamieblue I don't do care plans yet not on PCC
2013-07-10 06:09:33 PM panderson62 rvmann how do you do that?
2013-07-10 06:09:35 PM letroces4 that is what i need to do too bryce gay...
2013-07-10 06:09:44 PM stevemelton To revmann: how do you make time for every resident. But good for you and them.
2013-07-10 06:09:45 PM 091190 I have a question about the practicum assignments, how are we suposed to post those and is there an order in which they should be done that is more beneficial
2013-07-10 06:09:46 PM letroces4 so look at me now trying to check all the resident's charts...
2013-07-10 06:09:46 PM juniorbull bryce r u in a snf facility
2013-07-10 06:10:00 PM brycegray Your careplan must always reflect your clinical notes. If there is a change relflected in your notes, your careplan must change too.
2013-07-10 06:10:04 PM jess8299 enter the chat room
2013-07-10 06:10:05 PM letroces4 im trying to get my practicum assignments in also...
2013-07-10 06:10:38 PM rvmann Just stopping in and talking to residents works, I talk to them about what is going on for the day and if they need anything new and what changes they want to tell me about. It works really well becasuse I know by my daily visits who needs more attention.
2013-07-10 06:10:43 PM krkurth where will we find our grade for our faxed in midterm practicum?
2013-07-10 06:10:50 PM jess8299 hello ALL

2013-07-10 06:11:12 PM panderson62 hi jess
2013-07-10 06:11:16 PM letroces4 how many residents do you have rvmann?
2013-07-10 06:11:19 PM rvmann my care plans change every quarter and every significant change but can be updated daily if thats what residents need.
2013-07-10 06:11:35 PM 091190 krkurth I dont think they have been graded yet. kathy said she does them around thursday.
2013-07-10 06:11:40 PM rvmann Lerroces4 I have 25 at the moment
2013-07-10 06:11:46 PM stevemelton rvmann: do you do this on your own or is it mandated?
2013-07-10 06:12:00 PM brycegray Post under the "Practicum Assignment Forum". Kathy should have the forum assignment as a discussion thread. Click on it and post your assignment. What class are you in 091190?
2013-07-10 06:12:02 PM lynnet that's still a lot of residents and you say you visit each of them every day - wow
2013-07-10 06:12:18 PM krkurth do you know where the grade will be posted? in the beginning of our assignment list?
2013-07-10 06:12:24 PM 091190 070213

2013-07-10 06:12:49 PM sueharrington enter the chat room
2013-07-10 06:12:51 PM lynnet left side of website - go to 'grades'
2013-07-10 06:12:56 PM rvmann On my own only care plans at quarterly and significant changes are mandated. I don't see how I could meet my residents needs if I didn't talk to them daily.
2013-07-10 06:13:09 PM krkurth oh i never noticed that before, thanks!
2013-07-10 06:13:13 PM brycegray I am in a non profit CCRC. I work with the LTC residents, AL, short-term, and hospice. 150 residents.
2013-07-10 06:13:15 PM juniorbull it shows on aCTIVITY REPORT ON WEBSITE
2013-07-10 06:13:22 PM sueharrington hello
2013-07-10 06:13:27 PM rvmann Our facility maxes out at 56 and we are skilled.
2013-07-10 06:13:38 PM jamieblue Helllo sueharrington
2013-07-10 06:13:42 PM lynnet hello sue
2013-07-10 06:13:47 PM panderson62 hi sue
2013-07-10 06:13:50 PM stevemelton rvmann: from what I have seen I don't think it happens, seeing residents daily. makes sense though.
2013-07-10 06:13:53 PM jess8299 hi sue
2013-07-10 06:14:03 PM letroces4 i do the care plans update if there is something significant and needs to be added, and i also do progress notes if readmits, new admission and other significant changes otherwise i can't do all of em
2013-07-10 06:14:04 PM brycegray In Ohio, I had a fellow ADC cited because her careplan did not reflect the change marked in her notes. A note made outside of her quarterly & annual notes.
2013-07-10 06:14:05 PM lynnet you're right steve
2013-07-10 06:14:06 PM dleonard I so wish I could visit each resident daily. I have 113 residents so I am licky if I can see each one weekly.
2013-07-10 06:14:19 PM sandy55 left the chat room
2013-07-10 06:14:29 PM lynnet same here
2013-07-10 06:14:30 PM rvmann at 150 I'd have enough staff to delegate sections so my activities staff knows who they were responsible for talking to daily.
2013-07-10 06:14:31 PM jamieblue rvmann are your daily visits enough for 1:1
2013-07-10 06:14:48 PM sandy55 enter the chat room
2013-07-10 06:14:54 PM dleonard It is only me. I have no other staff.
2013-07-10 06:14:58 PM eklemetsen does anyone know the lowest passing score of midterm and final?
2013-07-10 06:14:58 PM lynnet do you run other activities as well rvmann
2013-07-10 06:14:59 PM rvmann yes because i add more if I need to meet the requests of the residents.
2013-07-10 06:15:01 PM panderson62 i do check on my residents daily at least half if not more
2013-07-10 06:15:05 PM kamiwife47 How do you do daily visits if you have 250 residents?
2013-07-10 06:15:21 PM stevemelton dleonard, 113, that's a lot obviously. seems like the number of residents varies from place to place quite a bit.
2013-07-10 06:15:22 PM krkurth i do not have any other staff either, do you think you will ever be able to have a staff or assistant aide dleonard?
2013-07-10 06:15:29 PM lynnet i think he said 25
2013-07-10 06:15:46 PM brycegray I have very little staff for 150. I depend on volunteers and the other departments to help me. I document interactions and visits with housekeepers.
2013-07-10 06:15:51 PM dleonard I dont see it in the near future.
2013-07-10 06:15:53 PM rvmann Oh yes, I have well scheduled activities but my assistant runs them part of the time so I can keep up my 1:1 and paperwork

2013-07-10 06:16:24 PM sueharrington At my place we have 4 on staff and 160+ residents and its hard for us to visit all of them
2013-07-10 06:16:31 PM jamieblue I am the part time person and some days i only work for 4 hours it is hard to get to everybody with the charting I feel as if i am failing some of the residents.
2013-07-10 06:16:40 PM rvmann One way or another. I had 16 outside today for lunch on the front lawn and I had to talk several into going.
2013-07-10 06:16:52 PM brycegray Ideas for you or your volunteers for room visits or 1:1s:http://voices.yahoo.com/room-visit-activity-ideas-nursing-home-volunteers-5155501.html?cat=12
2013-07-10 06:17:01 PM panderson62 i know what you mean jamieblue
2013-07-10 06:17:23 PM rvmann I think to get them all out I would have to close the diningroom completely and I'd still lose a few to room trays.

2013-07-10 06:19:12 PM lynnet enter the chat room
2013-07-10 06:19:20 PM rvmann Nope I get a max of 35 hours a week. we don't eat dinner till 6 so its hard to get them to do anything after dinner
2013-07-10 06:19:44 PM sueharrington I agree. Night time activities are difficult. We cant talk them into anything.
2013-07-10 06:19:44 PM rvmann I usually work 8-4

2013-07-10 06:20:24 PM letroces4 im having trouble with my evening program as only a couple of residents show up
2013-07-10 06:20:25 PM rvmann Actually I had what I thought was a good nighttime activitiy in my drum circle one time a month but the staff now tells me they don't like it
2013-07-10 06:20:39 PM panderson62 usually they go to bed so early they dont want to do anything
2013-07-10 06:20:50 PM brycegray In Ohio, yes. I always provide a comedy corner (comedy movie and snacks) and do a cart visit at night when we don't have something big planned.
2013-07-10 06:20:55 PM rvmann I always offer News TV at 5 our quality control nurse tells me that counts
2013-07-10 06:21:03 PM jamieblue We have church services mainly. I can anywhere from 1 to 4 people.
2013-07-10 06:21:04 PM angel4aml18 our residents eat from 5-5:30/5:45 and we have a 6:00 activity 4 nights a week which seems to work. 1 night is a volunteer and the other 3 are part time staff who cover one evening a week
2013-07-10 06:21:08 PM jess8299 We havent been tagged yet for three years and when they interview the residents there hasn't been complaints .. so that may be why its ok
2013-07-10 06:21:11 PM stevemelton Can someone tell me what is ala carte evening programs is?

2013-07-10 06:22:06 PM rvmann I am always reminding our residents that any staff can put on a movie for residents after dinner, I leave movies out but they don't watch them.
2013-07-10 06:22:09 PM juniorbull CHURCH PROGRAMS. PIANO AND SINGING . 6.30-8
2013-07-10 06:22:14 PM letroces4 jess8299 i guess im concerned if they look at the calendar and see that there is no evening activity... im trying to fix our calendar but i want to run it by my advisor first as im not sure with the evening activities

2013-07-10 06:22:53 PM 091190 trying out a new dance class in the evenings, runs pretty late so dont know how it is going to go.
2013-07-10 06:22:54 PM rvmann Our QAN nurse told me anything after 4 counted as evening.
2013-07-10 06:23:15 PM lynnet that's interesting - didn't know that rvmann

2013-07-10 06:23:37 PM letroces4 yeah, that's interesting.. if that's the case then our calendar is okay
2013-07-10 06:23:38 PM krkurth does anyone know if assisted living facilities require nighttime activities?
2013-07-10 06:23:47 PM jess8299 My advisor is ok with it ... But because she know we have triend evening programming and no one will come
2013-07-10 06:23:47 PM lynnet yes in new york
2013-07-10 06:23:53 PM rvmann I have to save hours for group activities.
2013-07-10 06:24:05 PM sandy55 My residents look forward to our evenings movies.
2013-07-10 06:24:05 PM brycegray krkurth - depends on your state.
2013-07-10 06:24:11 PM tkallen I am only required to do three a month in my assited living
2013-07-10 06:24:12 PM krkurth I am in ohio
2013-07-10 06:24:37 PM rvmann Washington is my home state maybe my rules aren't the same
2013-07-10 06:24:48 PM lynnet NY is yes
2013-07-10 06:24:50 PM letroces4 i don't have enough staff as well to stay till late if we put on a movie....
2013-07-10 06:24:59 PM jess8299 We do have on e evening program a week .... then the rest al a carte.. It works for my facility... im in Pa
2013-07-10 06:25:04 PM panderson62 same here
2013-07-10 06:25:10 PM letroces4 i can't have the CNA's take the responsibility as i know they are also doing some work...
2013-07-10 06:25:16 PM rvmann I was told that there is no reason the CNA staff can't turn off the tv when the movie is done...
2013-07-10 06:25:24 PM brycegray I don't think so - it's not in the laws. But play it safe and ask staff to put a movie on 1x a week or turn the TV on to a Cleveland Indians game and put that on your calendar.
2013-07-10 06:25:32 PM lynnet our concierge does it
