2017-02-28 06:42:34 PM shawna She wanted to be wheeled back to her room to go back to bed but the nurses said she gets out of bed when they take her. She told me that she would scream if i didnt take her back to her room.
2017-02-28 06:42:35 PM tajk333 rainbows!
2017-02-28 06:42:44 PM kathyhughes March is always windy!
2017-02-28 06:42:53 PM desiep3805 we will be working on modified kite construction later on the month

2017-02-28 06:43:09 PM denisewiit Its her right to go back to her room
2017-02-28 06:43:18 PM shubbard720 I agree, it is her right.
2017-02-28 06:43:21 PM prymyc enter the chat room
2017-02-28 06:43:37 PM kathyhughes Hello Mycca
2017-02-28 06:43:39 PM desiep3805 What did u do?
2017-02-28 06:43:48 PM teyonahills what happen did you take her back to her room ?
2017-02-28 06:43:55 PM prymyc hello. hope everyone is having a good evening
2017-02-28 06:43:57 PM shubbard720 You should always attempt to accommodate the resident's needs or wants during the behavior
2017-02-28 06:44:00 PM sandra3343 I feel like that happens often, someting they can be manipulitive
2017-02-28 06:44:04 PM denisewiit hi
2017-02-28 06:44:05 PM tajk333 I tell them to try out the activity, and if they decide they still want to leave that is fine!
2017-02-28 06:44:08 PM shubbard720 As long as they and the residents around them are safe
2017-02-28 06:44:27 PM desiep3805 That's hard tryin 2 cxhoose between safety and her rights
2017-02-28 06:44:46 PM amberrwetherill One of our residents who has been documented with major behaviors because she refuses a roommate was transferred to one of our sister facilities today.
2017-02-28 06:45:00 PM sandra3343 safety is usually the better choice
2017-02-28 06:45:12 PM desiep3805 Agreed
2017-02-28 06:45:18 PM prymyc We had a marti gras themed birthday party today! it was kinda great!
2017-02-28 06:45:23 PM kathyhughes She had the right to go back to her room and there should be a care plan about how to accommadate her needs
2017-02-28 06:45:45 PM kathyhughes Thats great Mycca
2017-02-28 06:45:54 PM sandra3343 who is responsible for creating that care plan
2017-02-28 06:45:56 PM desiep3805 Especially if she is a fall risk when in bed
2017-02-28 06:45:58 PM kathyhughes I am sure that the residents enjoyed it
2017-02-28 06:46:07 PM shawna Are you talking to me Kathy?
2017-02-28 06:46:07 PM shubbard720 Behaviors are hard---we have a resident who has many mental disorders, and is young/active. He threw his walker through a window over the weekend, we are learning about what sets him off and ensuring that his needs are addressed. It also helps to set boundaries with him as well
2017-02-28 06:46:19 PM kathyhughes The whole team should do the care plan
2017-02-28 06:46:33 PM kathyhughes Yes Shawna
2017-02-28 06:46:35 PM prymyc The residents loved it...they were saddened...as was I, that only 3 staff members bothered to show up to acknowledge their birthdays
2017-02-28 06:47:02 PM denisewiit Today we had a 97 year old man come in and play his violin. He was amazing, he had them singing and dancing in their chairs. It was great!
2017-02-28 06:47:03 PM desiep3805 The care plan has 2 be interdisciplinary, becaquse there may be underlying mental disorders, etc...
2017-02-28 06:47:03 PM kathyhughes Well sometimes the staff gets busy
2017-02-28 06:47:07 PM sandra3343 interesting~ most of the behavior care plans are done by nursing
2017-02-28 06:47:11 PM shubbard720 Denise that is awesome!!!!
2017-02-28 06:47:24 PM denisewiit :)
2017-02-28 06:47:28 PM prymyc that part was horrible. We do one party at the end of the month for all the residents who had a birthday that month and the residents enjoy getting to spend their birthday celebration with their friends in the facility
2017-02-28 06:47:30 PM kathyhughes All members of the team should contribute
2017-02-28 06:47:30 PM desiep3805 Thats great
2017-02-28 06:47:40 PM sandra3343 good to know
2017-02-28 06:47:43 PM shawna I took her to the nurses station and made sure she new the CNA's name who gives me a hard time.
2017-02-28 06:48:01 PM shawna But seriously,
2017-02-28 06:48:31 PM kathyhughes Well....sometimes we have to educate staff that the residents needs come first
2017-02-28 06:48:44 PM sandra3343 very true
2017-02-28 06:48:46 PM shubbard720 I agree, Kathy
2017-02-28 06:48:47 PM desiep3805 Yes we do, Kathy
2017-02-28 06:48:48 PM tajk333 too often!
2017-02-28 06:48:50 PM kathyhughes and that we can all contribute to the residents care
2017-02-28 06:48:54 PM denisewiit Sometimes we have to remind them daily
2017-02-28 06:48:54 PM prymyc The docorations and the masks the residents made last week were a big big hit though...all in all it was good. It is the third party Ive thrown since being promoted to director and it was another good one
2017-02-28 06:49:09 PM shubbard720 That's great!
2017-02-28 06:49:12 PM kathyhughes We should be doing an educational session once a month with staff
2017-02-28 06:49:21 PM shawna if there is noone to watch her and she gets out of the bed and hurts herself isnt taking her back to the room the wrong thing to do?
2017-02-28 06:49:21 PM desiep3805 Congrats, prymyc
2017-02-28 06:49:37 PM denisewiit our facility is working on doing that right now Kathy
2017-02-28 06:49:49 PM shubbard720 It is a resident's right to fall though
2017-02-28 06:49:52 PM desiep3805 If only I had the time for insevrvices
2017-02-28 06:50:03 PM kathyhughes Taking her back to her floor and notifying some one that she is there is the best thing that you can do
2017-02-28 06:50:05 PM shubbard720 As long as interventions are put in place to ensure that we are trying to prevent it
2017-02-28 06:50:13 PM prymyc thank you. Once I am more comfortable with the job then I will be adding my 2 cents at our monthly all staff meetings for the activities department

2017-02-28 06:50:46 PM janicelawrence6 Sometimes staff forgets why we are there
2017-02-28 06:50:48 PM wendy5 enter the chat room
2017-02-28 06:50:49 PM sandra3343 I think its a risk we have to take, if we force her to stay at the activity she will disrupt everyone and its not fair to make her force her....its so difficult
2017-02-28 06:50:53 PM kathyhughes If we educate the staff about activities our jobs would be better
2017-02-28 06:51:13 PM desiep3805 No they seem to think that we are not a clinical entity
2017-02-28 06:51:16 PM jodie583 enter the chat room
2017-02-28 06:51:29 PM shawna we only have one floor and I took her to the nurses station.
2017-02-28 06:51:34 PM sandra3343 i feel the same way
2017-02-28 06:51:34 PM amberrwetherill I keep trying to educate staff but all they ever say is "add more activities"
2017-02-28 06:51:37 PM denisewiit I agree
2017-02-28 06:51:37 PM jodie583 Good evening :)
2017-02-28 06:51:38 PM prymyc I saw something today I wanted to share
2017-02-28 06:51:39 PM shubbard720 That is true, we are lucky and good relationships with our staff from every department just about!

2017-02-28 06:52:56 PM prymyc if you look up silk dyed easter eggs on youtube there is a video that is 1 minute and the eggs are GORGEOUS
2017-02-28 06:53:02 PM tajk333 shaving cream with the glue?
2017-02-28 06:53:07 PM kathyhughes and ask the residents if they have some egg dying ideas

2017-02-28 06:53:16 PM prymyc I am going to do it with my son and possibly my kids I teach at church first
2017-02-28 06:53:35 PM jodie583 our facility had the same AD for 20 years - it's been hard to change ideas for holidays but it's slowly coming around
2017-02-28 06:53:37 PM denisewiit with onion skins and purple cabbage
2017-02-28 06:53:38 PM ebreeves cool
2017-02-28 06:53:42 PM janicelawrence6 I just saw where the egg was in a whisk, so you dont get the dye on your hands
2017-02-28 06:53:45 PM teyonahills im going to look that up never heard of silk dyed eggs
2017-02-28 06:53:50 PM ebreeves good ideas!
2017-02-28 06:53:51 PM kathyhughes Its just shaving cream and food dye
2017-02-28 06:53:53 PM prymyc doesnt look hard at all and I think the residents would enjoy the outcome. I see us dying alot of eggs...i have chickens so I have lots of eggs!
2017-02-28 06:54:00 PM shawna We have the sweetest 96 year old that yells help all the time. When you go to him he say that he just wants to know what were doing
2017-02-28 06:54:09 PM desiep3805 These are great aester ideas. Thx
2017-02-28 06:54:09 PM jodie583 what is you all's protocol on eating those dyed eggs?

2017-02-28 06:54:17 PM denisewiit how cute
2017-02-28 06:54:33 PM shubbard720 Shawna he probably just wants some attention and interaction or he has a need and doesn't know how to convey it
2017-02-28 06:54:33 PM shawna forever

2017-02-28 06:54:44 PM tajk333 If you combine the shaving cream with glue, it create an interesting puffy paint!
2017-02-28 06:54:48 PM wendy5 we have 4 people right now who shout drving the other residents crazy
2017-02-28 06:55:02 PM prymyc jodie, alot of our residents eat a boiled egg with breakfast so if nothng else the dietary manager will have them
2017-02-28 06:55:07 PM kittyf Thankyou
2017-02-28 06:55:10 PM janicelawrence6 This year we are going to set different tables for types of egg deocrating. Why not try different things right!
2017-02-28 06:55:13 PM mgarnica it was fun and I made one for a resident who never comes to any activities and surprised her with it and she smiled the biggest I have ever seen her smile! it made my day

2017-02-28 06:56:48 PM jodie583 I just wondered about the whole infection control thing with the eggs being handled then refrigerated then served again
2017-02-28 06:56:50 PM teyonahills what was that
2017-02-28 06:56:52 PM amberrwetherill I'm not sure if we are dying eggs this year. I know in the past they haven't. I think all they had was Easter Bunny come by and that was it. But we are having easter egg hunt for the community and involving the residents
2017-02-28 06:56:55 PM beckysalaz left the chat room

2017-02-28 06:57:31 PM shubbard720 Shawna--are there 1:1 activities that someone can provide for him, or maybe walks or visits?
