2017-03-14 06:37:00 PM shazelbaker0831 kaneika try to make a conversation. It is also appropriate at that time to ask their family what they history was like,
2017-03-14 06:37:05 PM lakeishamaxwell i often find myself reminding other staff that ANYONE can answer a call light

2017-03-14 06:37:08 PM kathyhughes We also placed TV info for the welcome basket
2017-03-14 06:37:08 PM martins84 I understand that it is always an issue but it should not be one any staff can answer a call bell and it can be simple things even down to lazy staff
2017-03-14 06:37:16 PM mellisa0626 i notice in a meeting if one complains about food they all do if one complains about laundry they all do.
2017-03-14 06:37:16 PM erikalmascia Ours love dice games We have a lot of that going o n. Piglet, Skunk, Floor dice....etc
2017-03-14 06:37:19 PM alennon I have residents that want to come to an activity so we pu their light on and five minutes later its off an the resident is back alseep cause the aides dont want to get the residents up!
2017-03-14 06:37:20 PM kathyhughes so that residents know which channel is which
2017-03-14 06:37:21 PM andreapeleg Food Service is always the main complaint
2017-03-14 06:37:25 PM asjodin Roll the dice-look at the question that the dice adds up to and have resident answer that question....its fun

2017-03-14 06:40:08 PM lanaf ANother thing I do at resident council; when I open the meeting I remind the residents that this is "not" a gripe session; that the cocerns at resident council are the concerns of all who live in the facility.I tell them that if they have personal concerns, that don't concern the rest of the residents., that I will take their individual concerns after the meeting. Then I listen and fill out their concerns. That way you don;t have someone say ing they are missing piece of clothing just because someone else said they were.
2017-03-14 06:40:11 PM erikalmascia Don't be nervous.

2017-03-14 06:44:29 PM mfskal we have a free poetry club. a hospice in our area that asked if they could come in 1 time a month for a poetry club.. residents love it. he brings back a printed poem on fancy paper in a frame and reads it and we post it on the wall. they really get into it. he allows the residents to make the poem completely,, he just encourages ideas and writes them down

2017-03-14 06:44:56 PM lanaf moniques Yes, we do, moniques. Roght now we just have our president, our Vice president passed away. So, in a month, they'll vote another in. Try to get a resident that is alert and able to talk with the residents and not too shy to represent them.The lady we have now, goes to visit with them and talks up for those that can not. That's also good for when the state comes in to visit, We give them a list of residents to talk with privately ; and it's better if it's someone who nows the residents.
