2017-05-23 06:41:42 PM mbear we use calendarsusa.com and I like it, but have never used anything else so I don't have a comparison lol
2017-05-23 06:41:43 PM loree18 we also have a mailing list of family members that get a copy each month
2017-05-23 06:41:44 PM alexandrac We do large 11x 17 also and also have a system called Senior TV with slides streaming about activities and events
2017-05-23 06:41:47 PM jacquelinememenza enter the chat room

2017-05-23 06:42:25 PM nbeall We post 4 different ways and still... they need reminded, invited, encouraged and a poster up by the elevators if I really want them to come.
2017-05-23 06:42:31 PM elvira06 When yall say large what size are they ? bc i already do the 11 X 17
2017-05-23 06:42:34 PM nikiawyche we also use a system called nixplay to show special events for the day
2017-05-23 06:42:34 PM aprilgfoster residents are always asking others what the activity is for the day
2017-05-23 06:42:46 PM jacquelinememenza aprilgfoster same here
2017-05-23 06:42:51 PM marciatrimiew Kathy will be be covering calendar software subjects in MEPAP2?

2017-05-23 06:43:03 PM kathyhughes NO I don't cover that
2017-05-23 06:43:10 PM nbeall I do not think my residents use the TV screens as reminders they like the pictures better... waiting for the schedule to pop back up is unpredictable.
2017-05-23 06:43:17 PM ericasouter we are trying to make our calendar large print
2017-05-23 06:43:18 PM aprilgfoster we do intercom pageing for all activities but its still not the same as seeing on TV
2017-05-23 06:43:19 PM marciatrimiew How can I get more information?
2017-05-23 06:43:21 PM theresehoward i was thinking of putting a daily activities calendar at the center of each residents dining table

2017-05-23 06:43:38 PM patfuller I often announce activities in the morning and again about 30 mins. before an activity is to start
2017-05-23 06:43:45 PM maryjane1 therese, thats a good idea
2017-05-23 06:43:46 PM loriann (lol) crazy
2017-05-23 06:43:47 PM nikiawyche one of ours is in a frame the other is not
2017-05-23 06:43:50 PM nbeall the table is a good idea theresehoward

2017-05-23 06:43:57 PM kathyhughes I used the 11x17 paper for placemats for the residents once a week

2017-05-23 06:44:21 PM theresehoward how does it work melody
2017-05-23 06:44:21 PM kathyhughes and we would highlight upcoming events and have a game or two on them
2017-05-23 06:44:21 PM knapier as we are passing out newspapers in the morning we go into the two different dinnning rooms and announce what we have going on for the day
2017-05-23 06:44:25 PM maryjane1 wow kathy, that is an awesome idea
2017-05-23 06:44:28 PM jill06 i like that pat
2017-05-23 06:44:33 PM christinadepolo good idea kathy
2017-05-23 06:44:34 PM 8800971 we used to post daily activities in addition to large calendars might do again
2017-05-23 06:44:40 PM gmhalpin I also page - that seems to be working as I'm getting more residents to attend activities. They never paged before I started
2017-05-23 06:44:41 PM marciatrimiew thanks for the resources for calendars...
2017-05-23 06:44:48 PM nbeall I heard overhead speaker is a violation because it is to be like their home. My new DON said that.

2017-05-23 06:44:58 PM courtneyr2009 we pass out daily chronicles with the list of activities on the back
2017-05-23 06:44:59 PM nikiawyche I used to post the act daily also the framses are so much easier

2017-05-23 06:45:07 PM alexandrac Daily schedule posted at front desk and both elevators. I do overhead announcements, and hand the dailies out to everyone in person, and do CNA announcements on thier radios too.
2017-05-23 06:45:09 PM loriann true in some cases
2017-05-23 06:45:09 PM aprilgfoster our calendar is huge!!
2017-05-23 06:45:13 PM yogini I like that kathy.

2017-05-23 06:45:16 PM jill06 i like that too courtney
2017-05-23 06:45:16 PM catiah I use activity connection for my calendars
2017-05-23 06:45:21 PM knapier me to catiah
2017-05-23 06:45:23 PM alexandrac and still hard to get people to come to things.....
2017-05-23 06:45:26 PM asjodin I love activity connection
2017-05-23 06:45:27 PM elvira06 Texas looks down to over head speaker
2017-05-23 06:45:27 PM catiah It works very well
2017-05-23 06:45:28 PM loree18 daily schedule is posted in Kitchen next to menu for day
2017-05-23 06:45:35 PM gmhalpin the page does cannot be heard in the residents rooms.
2017-05-23 06:45:36 PM courtneyr2009 once again activity connection is a life saver
2017-05-23 06:45:36 PM loree18 I love activity connection too
2017-05-23 06:45:38 PM melodyh second that asj
2017-05-23 06:45:38 PM marciatrimiew thanks catiah...will check it out...you rock!!
2017-05-23 06:45:38 PM courtneyr2009 lol
2017-05-23 06:45:39 PM irene I also use connection for our calendars.
2017-05-23 06:45:41 PM bcramer We print our own calendars on 11x17 and put them in every one's room, we also print individual daily calendars for those that request it. It is also posted several places in our facility and nurses have one as well, in case they are asked. I think when residents ask other residents, it could just be a conversation starter
2017-05-23 06:45:42 PM catiah I love too asjodin!
2017-05-23 06:45:45 PM ericasouter We have a hard time getting residents out sometime as well
2017-05-23 06:45:46 PM maryjane1 I love activity connection as well
2017-05-23 06:45:47 PM nikiawyche we use an extra phone line that the residents can dial into and hear what is going on for the day
2017-05-23 06:45:49 PM patfuller My facilty dont mind. and I will designate a dept. head to make announcements for me time to time. They really like it
2017-05-23 06:45:56 PM elvira06 but we use them , but we are trying to stop
2017-05-23 06:45:58 PM courtneyr2009 niki thats a cool idea
2017-05-23 06:46:07 PM alexandrac I am sparing with overhead announcements, but once in a while for things I know they like but may have forgotten about . They actually asked me to do it.
2017-05-23 06:46:09 PM loriann mary jane... i fine it usefull but pricey
2017-05-23 06:46:10 PM catiah You can find everything and it is easy to find
2017-05-23 06:46:12 PM nbeall nikiawyche do your residents call in?
2017-05-23 06:46:14 PM alexandrac The residents that is, they asked
2017-05-23 06:46:14 PM nikiawyche we use that to also let them know if something has changed
2017-05-23 06:46:16 PM crystalclt23 activity connection is a good resource
2017-05-23 06:46:25 PM jill06 im telling u guys activity connec is amazing
2017-05-23 06:46:26 PM theresehoward a great solution is going to residents during the end of their meal and inviting them to activities and bringing them directly there
2017-05-23 06:46:29 PM asjodin Good idea nikia
2017-05-23 06:46:30 PM loriann 142 a year

2017-05-23 06:48:40 PM courtneyr2009 how do you all deal with rude staff that act like your activity is a waste of time?
2017-05-23 06:48:42 PM loree18 niki is that like penny ante??
2017-05-23 06:48:43 PM aprilgfoster we do lots of music. we just started Music and Memory Program. it works wonders on residents with behavior issues and anxity
2017-05-23 06:48:55 PM theresehoward we did too april

2017-05-23 06:49:07 PM courtneyr2009 its only a few
2017-05-23 06:49:09 PM loriann agreed ignore them
2017-05-23 06:49:11 PM 8800971 I think staff should see these you tube and other video's as part of orientation for all staff
2017-05-23 06:49:12 PM jacquelinememenza rude staff is a pain
2017-05-23 06:49:15 PM nikiawyche they also have a great game called can you list this you roll a dice that has numbers on it so for example you might roll 6 and one of the question would be name six things you find in the hair salon
2017-05-23 06:49:17 PM priscillad ignore
2017-05-23 06:49:18 PM asjodin That is tough
2017-05-23 06:49:19 PM courtneyr2009 but is sad...
2017-05-23 06:49:20 PM marciatrimiew I love the way you guys share your ideas..and I luv implementing them..thank you so much!!! I am always greatful to share and pass on my knowledge!!!
2017-05-23 06:49:20 PM maryjane1 courtney, slap them! lol
2017-05-23 06:49:22 PM melodyh I ignore them
2017-05-23 06:49:22 PM crystalclt23 you kill the staff with kindness
2017-05-23 06:49:27 PM jacquelinememenza especially the ones that interupt your assessment
2017-05-23 06:49:29 PM irene I use activity connections for all the fun things. Newsletter, monthly chronicles and calendars
2017-05-23 06:49:30 PM ericasouter Just ignore them!
2017-05-23 06:49:33 PM melodyh maryjane no...lol
2017-05-23 06:49:36 PM nikiawyche yes it's like Penny ante but if you make a comment you have to pay two cent
2017-05-23 06:49:43 PM loriann Its hard when people dont see the value of what you do
2017-05-23 06:49:51 PM nbeall A mentor just shared with me about when there is something you do over and over you should see if you could automate it, delegate it or eliminate it. I keep forgetting different things on the calendar and I always proof read and have several people read it. I need to automate some of it.
2017-05-23 06:49:52 PM theresehoward pray for them
2017-05-23 06:49:53 PM prymyc I explain to that kinda staff how much easier it makes their jobs, because the more people are in activities, the less they are ringing call lights and whatnot
2017-05-23 06:49:53 PM loree18 Oh I think we will have to look into that
2017-05-23 06:49:54 PM catiah I agree Loriann
2017-05-23 06:50:01 PM asjodin Tell them how you feel their attitude is...if they don't want to change then maybe they need to find a different job
2017-05-23 06:50:01 PM 8800971 yes loriann but we know what we do
2017-05-23 06:50:05 PM elvira06 ({) lol i get the rude ones too. I like how i get grivencise for not doing bingo 3 times a week.
2017-05-23 06:50:08 PM loriann (L)
2017-05-23 06:50:11 PM maryjane1 I help the staff with stuff, and they help me
2017-05-23 06:50:17 PM aprilgfoster you would think staff would be more helpful in getting residents to activities.. If they are in activities they are not on there call light or falling out of a chair or bed or siting along and self isolating
2017-05-23 06:50:19 PM ericasouter haha I get that too elvira
2017-05-23 06:50:20 PM catiah We work so har and they think we only play bingo and balloon volleyball....
2017-05-23 06:50:24 PM melodyh again I say "quality of life is just important as quality of care!"
2017-05-23 06:50:25 PM nikiawyche so for example who like liver and onions must of the resident share a story about the first time they ate it and if its not their turn the pay two cent to the pot
2017-05-23 06:50:26 PM courtneyr2009 most of the staff is helpful
2017-05-23 06:50:26 PM patfuller dont slap them invite them to join in with you. Really thats what they want to do any way
2017-05-23 06:50:29 PM lidiaal06 its important to have good relationship with staff
2017-05-23 06:50:29 PM courtneyr2009 its just a few
2017-05-23 06:50:42 PM loriann Yes and if you are confident enough,,, share with them w\WHY it is important
2017-05-23 06:50:46 PM ericasouter Also, communication is very important
2017-05-23 06:50:48 PM catiah right Lidia, sometimes is hard...
2017-05-23 06:50:49 PM melodyh agree patfuller

2017-05-23 06:50:56 PM maryjane1 we have the most problems with our AD helping out
2017-05-23 06:50:57 PM knapier there is always going to be those co workers that make you feel that way. dont let it get to you or in the way of why you are there everyday
2017-05-23 06:51:00 PM bcramer Remember you are not there for staff, but for the residents. Stop worrying about staff. It is their problem
2017-05-23 06:51:05 PM maryjane1 sad but true
2017-05-23 06:51:10 PM marciatrimiew Pray for them always...keep doing what you are destined to do..ignore the bad and ugly...people are hurting...share the luv!!!
2017-05-23 06:51:19 PM asjodin AD helping out with what?
2017-05-23 06:51:20 PM jill06 yes its all about the residents guys1
2017-05-23 06:51:21 PM matthewc ugh I get so frustrated with staff at times. I breathe and remember why I'm really there
2017-05-23 06:51:23 PM nbeall I am working on three residents who want to come to activities but it is difficult for the care givers .... I have a challenge
2017-05-23 06:51:23 PM crystalclt23 look past them, through them or around them just don't let them dectate your mood or the way you help the residents

2017-05-23 06:52:19 PM nbeall Does anyone have residents who have ventilators?
2017-05-23 06:52:22 PM patfuller I have the aides pass out my mail to the residents on their halls. I helps me out a great deal and the residnts gets to see them doing something other than patient care.

2017-05-23 06:53:38 PM elvira06 my staff need to learn what team work means. I toally understand that they play an important part , But I would love to have the residents that are always at the table alone to be with me (L) and listening or just watching ,changing dinning rooms

2017-05-23 06:55:17 PM bcramer Most of the time, I have learned if staff are unwilling to help, it is because they do not understand the importance of activities, or they do not respect what you do. You have to earn respect it is not given.
2017-05-23 06:55:18 PM alexandrac wow the hour flew by!
