2017-03-21 06:34:43 PM alishabranham Food Committee is when a group of Residents get together and let you know their likes and dislikes r/t the food served
2017-03-21 06:34:51 PM 8800971 OR CULINARY COMMITTEE
2017-03-21 06:34:53 PM erikalmascia For the most part they are very happy, but very vocal when they aren't.
2017-03-21 06:34:57 PM asjodin yees
2017-03-21 06:35:02 PM cherluv There is only one problem, a couple of our residents may get power crazy
2017-03-21 06:35:05 PM marciatrimiew OOps..Care Planning Meeting...
2017-03-21 06:35:10 PM erikalmascia I wouldn't rather it any other way
2017-03-21 06:35:12 PM jeant Our last activity director was fired in December and I've been doing the MDS assessments and progress notes ever since.
2017-03-21 06:35:13 PM darleensunter Thanks I thought it was like food critics

2017-03-21 06:35:41 PM cherluv They start getting bossy with everyone, I have to find a way to not let that happern
2017-03-21 06:35:42 PM kathy52 left the chat room
2017-03-21 06:35:52 PM mgarnica we have our resident council meeting wed afternoons after Bible Study
2017-03-21 06:36:01 PM susankent we have small attendance in resident council but they do invite an employee to attend. they also pick the holiday or special day meals and submit it to our dietary department.
2017-03-21 06:36:11 PM asjodin good idea
2017-03-21 06:36:20 PM erikalmascia Our AD went to a different job and we hired someone new.
2017-03-21 06:36:25 PM siadufour left the chat room
2017-03-21 06:36:26 PM tacarra0 we have our resident council meetings the last Tuesday of eaach month
2017-03-21 06:36:29 PM aleda Everyday we start our community meetings with questions to ensure everyone has a place to express issues and then monthly council
2017-03-21 06:36:30 PM siadufour enter the chat room
2017-03-21 06:36:31 PM jeant We have food committee and then resident council
2017-03-21 06:36:37 PM hopetoben the residents are almost fake durring the meetings. its very strange. they are open and honest with me all the time. but durring resident council meetings. "oh no honey everything is perfect"
2017-03-21 06:36:45 PM nikki06 ours are the last wed of each month, was so happy to have ann AL res take over one of them!
2017-03-21 06:36:46 PM gailh I wish ours was more open like that but with 150 + it isn't
2017-03-21 06:36:49 PM erikalmascia I guess she is going to be there for 6 months and then hopefully, it will be my turn.
2017-03-21 06:36:56 PM 8800971 YES THEY LIKE TO PLAN A SPECIAL MEAL IF DIETARY IS WILLING TO DO IT
2017-03-21 06:36:57 PM asjodin Do they feel intimidated?
2017-03-21 06:37:09 PM dingram30 our resident council is always the same ppl and problems as well n we talk bout the problems there have mostly clothes not being put back and meals
2017-03-21 06:37:15 PM cherluv susankent, thats what Im aiming for, them to have a voice in the food and decoarations for events
2017-03-21 06:37:15 PM shannamschofield our dietary sucks
2017-03-21 06:37:22 PM nikki06 our administrator just started a lunch with her program. she will have lunch with 6 res twice a month annd they can chat casually about issues and suggestions
2017-03-21 06:37:23 PM catiah really hopetoben? mine residents speak up:@
2017-03-21 06:37:24 PM mgarnica we have that problem with clothes too
2017-03-21 06:37:32 PM kaneika22 kathy and classmates i have a volunteer that the staff and some residents are complaining about. how do i tell him he is no longer needed?
2017-03-21 06:37:36 PM aleda i have found that adding little worksheets helps in council.......I am unhappy when this happens etc
2017-03-21 06:37:38 PM bbradshaw so what new activities has anyone came up with?
2017-03-21 06:37:38 PM erikalmascia Our dietary actually just had to change everything.
2017-03-21 06:37:44 PM 8800971 THEY ARE DIFFICULT
2017-03-21 06:37:44 PM hopetoben i dont think so. because i have about 12 residents who come. and they are all friends with each other. and i usually only have a guest every other month
2017-03-21 06:37:45 PM marilumolina nikki that is a great idea
2017-03-21 06:37:49 PM jeant The lunch with the administrator is a wonderful idea!
2017-03-21 06:37:52 PM abigail tomorrow we have a family member teach crochet to the residents to make mats with the plastic bags for the homeless
2017-03-21 06:37:56 PM tacarra0 we let our resident during resident council pick out their meal of the month
2017-03-21 06:37:58 PM erikalmascia The food looks better.
2017-03-21 06:38:02 PM siadufour I feel really bad for the culinary staff becaus during resident council they get attacked the most
2017-03-21 06:38:06 PM asjodin What type of complaints with volunteer?
2017-03-21 06:38:12 PM shannamschofield i love resident lunch with the admin
2017-03-21 06:38:15 PM beckysalaz our residents never have a problem with our food for some odd reason lol
2017-03-21 06:38:16 PM progers111781 my last job didnt have xmas bonus so the residents set up a xmas fund with everyone putting money we all come out with 1000-2000 dollar bonuses thanks to the resident council
2017-03-21 06:38:18 PM nikki06 i was suprised she was openn to it, but we just had our first lunch last thrus and it went great. this cominng weeks is already full with rsvps
2017-03-21 06:38:29 PM melissajdikken hopetoben, they probably feel more confident and secure speaking 1-1 and cautious about what other people may think if spoken publicly
2017-03-21 06:38:32 PM kaneika22 That his music is not great/ entertaining
2017-03-21 06:38:37 PM gailh With the voluntee you don't havee to tell them why, just that you don't need them.
2017-03-21 06:38:55 PM mgarnica it will all work out
2017-03-21 06:38:56 PM gailh my nails are too long dang it
2017-03-21 06:38:57 PM aleda Is there something specific that volunteer is doing i had one that i realized needed to only do set things and so i made sure to assess the volunteers to find where they should be and shouldnt buy if res are unhappy then volunteer isnt helping
2017-03-21 06:38:59 PM cherluv Nikki06 I like that about having lunch with some of them
2017-03-21 06:39:00 PM asjodin hmm...thats a tough one...
2017-03-21 06:39:00 PM kathyhughes Well I would thank him for his service and then tell him that he is no longer needed......I might ask him what his experience was and perhaps offer to write a letter for him to use at another facility
2017-03-21 06:39:03 PM alishabranham We have the same problem. Kitchen crew gets complained about the most with our Residents. But they work really hard to please our Residents
2017-03-21 06:39:05 PM amberparker Wow! That was super sweet of the residents!!!
2017-03-21 06:39:09 PM 8800971 I HAVE A FEW VOLUNTEERS I WOULD LIKE TO GET RID OF

2017-03-21 06:39:15 PM johnl enter the chat room
2017-03-21 06:39:21 PM kaneika22 Ok thanks
2017-03-21 06:39:22 PM susankent our dietary department is working great with them, they always make sure after council meeting to get copy of minutes not just for complaints but also for any suggestions to make them happy. we are a small facility so maybe it's easier for us to do that.
2017-03-21 06:39:23 PM progers111781 yes it was
2017-03-21 06:39:29 PM erikalmascia yea. We had one that was very inappropriate and was asked to leave.
