2017-01-17 07:15:52 PM cherluv We too have a few that always voice the issues, the only one that can be present is the activities person so they can complain freely.
2017-01-17 07:15:54 PM kirstensch7 once a month

2017-01-17 07:16:00 PM lesliepope We also hace a resident council meeting, they especially love that in the meeting they get to choose a "resident choice" meal for every month! They plan every item that the cook will make for lunch including sides and desserts. this is their favorite part!
2017-01-17 07:16:00 PM mzonneville The pledge of allegiance, I like

2017-01-17 07:16:09 PM donna61 2nd Tue of the month about 10 to 15 go
2017-01-17 07:16:14 PM 123504147 Resident council is a big deal because I have to follow up with all the departments and make sure that all the resident concerns are being addressed.
2017-01-17 07:16:21 PM kathybrosrt Food gets the most attention
2017-01-17 07:16:24 PM kathyhughes Remember that Resident Council is optional
2017-01-17 07:16:29 PM janicelawrence6 True! the outspoken ones usually say it all!
2017-01-17 07:16:32 PM cynthiasickler yep so do we 123504147
2017-01-17 07:16:33 PM lisa2 if one resident speaks up they usually will all chime in but it takes 1 to start the conversations
2017-01-17 07:16:37 PM samanthaculver thye complain about activities so when we do calendar planning you can hear a pen drop
2017-01-17 07:16:37 PM rissarie2013 i thought it was state manditory
2017-01-17 07:16:39 PM debra we used to have our resident council after birthday parties because then everyone was happy. but now theyve decided its too long an afternoon and its now a separate activity.
2017-01-17 07:16:39 PM kathybrosrt our cooks bite so dinner club is big. They like my cookin :P
2017-01-17 07:16:46 PM cherluv Food gets the most attention here to
2017-01-17 07:16:46 PM rissarie2013 well atlesst in michigan it is
2017-01-17 07:16:48 PM buffyb1 I usually have around 20 residents that attend. Could be because i provide snacks. lol
2017-01-17 07:16:52 PM kaylaz10 same with ours. After one starts, they all start!
2017-01-17 07:17:00 PM kirstensch7 we do have a box where residents can put in ideas and suggestions and problems outside the meetings
2017-01-17 07:17:02 PM chantelleb88 food is always a concern
2017-01-17 07:17:05 PM sandi optional Kathy?
2017-01-17 07:17:06 PM cynthiasickler we have so many nursing issues, basically about staffing and lack of
2017-01-17 07:17:07 PM jessicarae buffyb thats a good idea!
2017-01-17 07:17:07 PM denisewiit do u have akitchen kathyb

2017-01-17 07:17:13 PM lesliepope We also provide snack and do a prize drawing as well!
2017-01-17 07:17:20 PM 123504147 I think it is mandatory that we offer a resident council but it is not mandatory for the residents to attend.
2017-01-17 07:17:25 PM samanthaculver like the prize drawing
2017-01-17 07:17:26 PM jdw090882 left the chat room
2017-01-17 07:17:27 PM kathybrosrt Sam they usually like the calendar, I always ask them if there is anything special they want us to add to the calendar
2017-01-17 07:17:27 PM cherluv Some residents do talk about the good things that went on as well which is very nice
2017-01-17 07:17:29 PM cynthiasickler i agree with that
2017-01-17 07:17:30 PM lisa2 samantha we use to have a resident like that
2017-01-17 07:17:33 PM shannamschofield I thought resident council was mandatory
2017-01-17 07:17:38 PM denisewiit i do too
2017-01-17 07:17:43 PM jamiebernard we found our residents werent saying much and our big meetings, so we started having monthly meetings with only 5 residents, i give them a formal invitation and they can invite their family too, and each month we switch residents until we go through everyone. i find its the best way for people to open up rather than at the big client council
2017-01-17 07:17:43 PM heatherallen my keyboard is giving me trouble
2017-01-17 07:17:43 PM amberrwetherill I don't have many come, but I always go around and make sure they know that any changes that may be made is brought up to the council and they are the ones to determine it. So if they would like a say then this is where the need to be coming.
2017-01-17 07:17:45 PM kaylaz10 I had to have a council meeting in the morning instead of the afternoon and it was a very quick and quiet meeting lol.
2017-01-17 07:17:46 PM cynthiasickler i think rc is manditory
2017-01-17 07:17:46 PM samanthaculver kathyb i do as well and nothing
2017-01-17 07:17:46 PM kathyhughes Yes if the residents want a Resident Council they can have one, but if they don't you don't have to have it
2017-01-17 07:17:48 PM denisewiit it is their calendar
2017-01-17 07:17:53 PM rissarie2013 they always ask for the last 6 months of resident council and 3 months of calendars
2017-01-17 07:17:58 PM samanthaculver so they complain and still they offer no ideas
2017-01-17 07:17:58 PM kathyhughes No read the regulation
2017-01-17 07:17:59 PM kathybrosrt It is Shannon for us...doesnt mean the residents have to go if they dont want to
2017-01-17 07:18:04 PM janicelawrence6 our campus has a resident council. with only one represntaive from our building.
2017-01-17 07:18:05 PM denisewiit i didnt know that?
2017-01-17 07:18:07 PM samanthaculver its boring there is nothing to do
2017-01-17 07:18:08 PM 123504147 I like to prize drawing idea...I may have to steal that idea(L)
2017-01-17 07:18:09 PM kristina88 i didnt know it was optional thats good to know
2017-01-17 07:18:20 PM rissarie2013 i didnt either
2017-01-17 07:18:21 PM shannamschofield I hear that alot to Sam
2017-01-17 07:18:21 PM samanthaculver i HAVE 40 hours of activities a week
2017-01-17 07:18:24 PM denisewiit like a door prize
2017-01-17 07:18:26 PM lesliepope I did not realize that it was optional either. state always ask me for 6 months of resident council minutes?
2017-01-17 07:18:35 PM kathybrosrt Kathy when state was here, thats the first thing they asked for was my council minutes..must be state by state
2017-01-17 07:18:40 PM cynthiasickler we give 6 months too
2017-01-17 07:18:41 PM rissarie2013 me too leslkepope
2017-01-17 07:18:42 PM lesliepope I also have to send them to my corportate office every month!
2017-01-17 07:18:57 PM rissarie2013 i dnt have to do htht
2017-01-17 07:18:57 PM kathyhughes If they want one then a staff member is responsible for acting as a leision between them and the administration
2017-01-17 07:18:58 PM juliannag i think its always good to address issues though. I go around and invite everyone before we start, if they say no they dont want to go I ask if they have anything they want me to bring to the table and a lot of them have something.
2017-01-17 07:18:59 PM samanthaculver I GIVE WHAT THEY ASK FOR AND NOTHING LESS AND NOTHING MORE
2017-01-17 07:19:03 PM cynthiasickler my administrator asks first thing when state comes in
2017-01-17 07:19:04 PM donna61 Maybe there is nothing they are intrested in doing find out what they want
2017-01-17 07:19:05 PM kirstensch7 I believe the main reason why my memory care do not have a council is that they honestly don;t know anymore what that means. If it's Bingo it's cool, but everything else ....
2017-01-17 07:19:07 PM marissavega1274 state asked for ours too
2017-01-17 07:19:11 PM sandi A copy goes into our survey book every month
2017-01-17 07:19:16 PM kathyhughes I know but it is a Federal Regulation
2017-01-17 07:19:18 PM kirstensch7 they do attend our meetings which we usually hold in the MC wing
2017-01-17 07:19:18 PM debra im glad our social worker has to take care of everything
2017-01-17 07:19:21 PM mzonneville we always go over the last months meeting and ask if they have any concerns-- looks like mostlly food problems
2017-01-17 07:19:24 PM cherluv Sometimes at resident council if we get through quickly I talk to them about upcoming events and if they have any suggestions so they can be part of the planning
2017-01-17 07:19:26 PM jamiebernard yesss door prize!
2017-01-17 07:19:31 PM cynthiasickler i think a lot of us have the same format for resident council
2017-01-17 07:19:33 PM kathybrosrt I'm going to advocate for family council. When I read that I thought that was a great idea
2017-01-17 07:19:38 PM 123504147 Even though our resident council meeting is optional, I think the ombudsman would have my head if we didn't have one every month.
2017-01-17 07:19:39 PM kathyhughes They can ask, but if the residents don;t have one then there is nothing that they can do
2017-01-17 07:19:47 PM lesliepope The facility i work in also has a memory care unit and we do not do resident council in that unit.
2017-01-17 07:19:52 PM denisewiit ours are so informal its hard to keep notes. last month it lasted a whole 15 minutes
2017-01-17 07:20:01 PM rissarie2013 e cnt get in trouble though?
2017-01-17 07:20:03 PM jodie583 I always advocate for picking a department that has done a great job, then we all sign a "thank you" or "great job" card for that department :)
2017-01-17 07:20:06 PM jessicarae Ours is actually caled residnet and family council now
2017-01-17 07:20:06 PM rissarie2013 we**
2017-01-17 07:20:08 PM kathyhughes It is up to the residents
2017-01-17 07:20:09 PM janicelawrence6 we recently replaced one of our front desk personnel. She is a clean freak!!! She was working alone on a weekend and tossed all of our meeting minutes from the past few years. along with other reports! we are scrambleing to figure out what to do?

2017-01-17 07:20:31 PM pamgoodwin That's some intresting news there Kathy, I was under the same assumptions as the rest of the crew here. I always thought it was manadatory
2017-01-17 07:20:34 PM wendy5 are quarterlys and annual MDS a different form or still the F MDS

2017-01-17 07:20:52 PM rissarie2013 where exactly in the regulations? kathyhughs
2017-01-17 07:20:59 PM cherluv It is very important for them to have a safe place to discuss their issues, its one way to find out if there are any bad eggs on the staff
2017-01-17 07:21:03 PM lesliepope That is nice to know Kathy! We do have members that are active now but we have went through slumps where i was in a panic becuase i did not have anyone in the facility that was both interested and cognitive enough to participate fully
2017-01-17 07:21:05 PM chantelleb88 we do treatment teams on each patient it has to be done within 48 hours of addmission
2017-01-17 07:21:10 PM kathyhughes If there isn't one then I would take a survey of the residents monthly to make sure
2017-01-17 07:21:19 PM kathyhughes The regulations are in your course
