2017-06-29 06:04:15 PM marciatrimiew Kathy, I have a general question. Since this is summer, my advisor will go on vacation 2 separate weeks. What should I do? Can she give me an assignment?
2017-06-29 06:04:17 PM mcgeemarie congrats Lisa
2017-06-29 06:04:18 PM kathyhughes delegating is key

2017-06-29 06:04:32 PM lisasittniewski but also, don't lose out on time with the residents...do some activities yourself with them, too
2017-06-29 06:04:38 PM lisasittniewski thanks, Marie!
2017-06-29 06:04:47 PM amarkie i had the idea of getting sparklers for the residents to hold and get them outside if its nice out
2017-06-29 06:04:50 PM kathyhughes You can have her sign off when she gets back from vacation
2017-06-29 06:04:53 PM lisasittniewski memory care folks are my favorite folks!!!

2017-06-29 06:06:19 PM lisasittniewski i am lucky enough to have accepted an AD position in a facility that is only memory care. so excited
2017-06-29 06:06:23 PM kathyhughes How do you keep your staff motivated during the summer?

2017-06-29 06:07:40 PM kathyhughes Sandy I would teach all staff about what activies are and what to specifically do with the residents
2017-06-29 06:07:48 PM marciatrimiew We are taking a break next week. But when I return we are going to have Morning Chat Sessions...
2017-06-29 06:07:53 PM mcgeemarie We keep the residents motivated with food...little snacks with activities.
2017-06-29 06:08:03 PM kathyhughes It is important that they know what activities are and how to do them
2017-06-29 06:08:05 PM lisasittniewski take it from me...keep a firm hand on them doing activities as well as the adl care. you will find some will leave off on the activities and you will be left to do them all your own.

2017-06-29 06:08:14 PM denisewiit my residents love reminiscing

2017-06-29 06:10:51 PM tonih i am having an issue with 3 of my ladies being unkind and arguing, they have even called each other names. maybe the friendship circle is what we need.
2017-06-29 06:10:59 PM bford thats great idea
2017-06-29 06:11:07 PM ryanklemmer Yeah that's tough
2017-06-29 06:11:16 PM taras I played a mini (1 hour) concert for my residents yesterday---they loved it!!
2017-06-29 06:11:24 PM denisewiit we sit and have coffee in the morning
2017-06-29 06:11:28 PM mzonneville Winning is contagious--- Pass it on

2017-06-29 06:11:50 PM sandyping We had two ladies fighting and they moved them away from each other and all they did was want to be back together
2017-06-29 06:12:02 PM denisewiit lol
2017-06-29 06:12:03 PM lisasittniewski sounds like best friends!
2017-06-29 06:12:03 PM sandyping We moved them
2017-06-29 06:12:06 PM marciatrimiew I suggested we have a quarterly activity workshop, nothing became of it.
2017-06-29 06:12:10 PM ryanklemmer Lol
2017-06-29 06:12:17 PM rosesyellow713 we have snacks and cold juice in the afternoon
2017-06-29 06:12:18 PM denisewiit that stinks
2017-06-29 06:12:27 PM mzonneville Jeannnie Skiffington book that i got at the conference in buffalo
2017-06-29 06:12:37 PM lisasittniewski how is that book?
2017-06-29 06:12:37 PM sandyping \I think if I feed the staff they will come !!
2017-06-29 06:12:39 PM denisewiit what is that
2017-06-29 06:12:41 PM kathyhughes There will always be bully's in life....they need to get along
2017-06-29 06:12:47 PM marciatrimiew We need an activity workshop really bad. I'm going to host a few managers for the inservice practicum...
2017-06-29 06:12:47 PM kacies food always makes people come lol
2017-06-29 06:13:13 PM taras Yes! It wasn't even my idea...but I played songs from the 40s and up on the piano! They were surprised I knew (and liked!) those songs! They were singing along!
2017-06-29 06:13:13 PM rosesyellow713 yes it does
2017-06-29 06:13:15 PM tonih we meet with them separately then together and they say they are friends and everything is fine, but it seems to always come back up.
2017-06-29 06:13:15 PM marciatrimiew Kathy, does the inservice have to be at the job site?
2017-06-29 06:13:17 PM sandyping I did my inservice with the CNA
2017-06-29 06:13:32 PM denisewiit our cna's havent called out on a friday since i started breakfasts lol
2017-06-29 06:13:36 PM amarkie i host a staff appreciation lunch once a month for all staff its a chance to be appreciated and to get some feed back from all three shifts
2017-06-29 06:13:38 PM lisasittniewski i wish i could play 8-|
2017-06-29 06:13:42 PM kathyhughes We would have a couple of hours a month were we tried new games, crafts or activities and the staff would be able to have them in their activities
2017-06-29 06:13:52 PM denisewiit i like that too
2017-06-29 06:13:55 PM kathyhughes It can be Marcia
2017-06-29 06:14:05 PM taras Good idea Kathy!!
2017-06-29 06:14:30 PM lisasittniewski you mean you tried the games and activities on the staff first? that could be fun
2017-06-29 06:14:30 PM taras I have some residents so reluctant to change that it is often difficult to adapt....!
2017-06-29 06:14:31 PM sandyping I like the breakfast idea
2017-06-29 06:14:32 PM kathyhughes We also would have a workshop with the residents to try new activities
2017-06-29 06:14:37 PM lisasittniewski and get them more involved!
2017-06-29 06:14:46 PM kathyhughes Yes we did the activities first
2017-06-29 06:14:53 PM lisasittniewski great idea!
2017-06-29 06:15:01 PM lisasittniewski i may borrow that one!
2017-06-29 06:15:02 PM denisewiit i love that idea
2017-06-29 06:15:37 PM taras workshop for residents? That is really a good idea...another great one to pass along to the new AD
2017-06-29 06:15:45 PM tonih our managers take turns hosting a new game each month, we just did Family Feud with our soc. servces director as host. residents love playing games and they like that the staff, espe. managers take time to be with them.
2017-06-29 06:15:49 PM kathyhughes Way before the internet....we would video tape craft programs and the residents would watch it to pick out the crafts that they would like to do
2017-06-29 06:15:58 PM kacies haha
2017-06-29 06:16:02 PM sandyping I also like to get input from the residents we found a recipe together for watermelon sherbert we are making tomorrow
2017-06-29 06:16:06 PM kacies thats neat though, you were ahead of your time!
2017-06-29 06:16:11 PM ryanklemmer How did she do the Family Feud?
2017-06-29 06:16:52 PM denisewiit we are going to try the price is right next month as a new activity
2017-06-29 06:17:00 PM lisasittniewski i want to do that
2017-06-29 06:17:36 PM tonih there's a card game family feud real simple and he dressed in a suit and tie. lol
2017-06-29 06:17:38 PM mcgeemarie Our managers and CNAs aren't interactive with our programs. We can't even get them to pop in a DVD when we aren't staffed
2017-06-29 06:17:40 PM amarkie thats a cool idea my residents love price is right and lets make a deal
2017-06-29 06:17:57 PM marciatrimiew We played Price is Right for Game Day on Tues. One resident won two cars. He was super happy since he is working to get his driver's license back!!
2017-06-29 06:18:00 PM sandyping I tried family fued but did not work, due to memory issures
2017-06-29 06:18:03 PM kathyhughes You can ask residents the questions for Family Feud and use it as part of the program...for example 20 residents were surveyed and the top 5 responses where?????
2017-06-29 06:18:06 PM jadams69 we did the price is right on a wii game and my residents love it. I just bought a bingo game for the TV and they thought that was the coolest thing ever !!
2017-06-29 06:18:27 PM denisewiit i love that too
2017-06-29 06:18:36 PM ryanklemmer Those are good ideas
2017-06-29 06:18:46 PM lisasittniewski you may be able to do family feud with memory care...just adapt the questions to relevant things in thier early past
2017-06-29 06:18:48 PM denisewiit great ideas j
2017-06-29 06:18:59 PM lisasittniewski my memory care does jeopardy with simple trivia
2017-06-29 06:19:05 PM kathyhughes We did Jeopardy once a month with 25 questions and we competed against the Adult Day Care
2017-06-29 06:19:09 PM sandyping I lik that , I may give it another try because I do like that game
2017-06-29 06:19:20 PM lisasittniewski i beleieve that almost any activity can be adapted to memory care...you just gotta be creative
2017-06-29 06:19:21 PM kathyhughes Each month the team would win a trophy
2017-06-29 06:19:26 PM marciatrimiew My members were highly competitive today during our baseball activity game..Whew!!
2017-06-29 06:19:31 PM lisasittniewski thats fun
2017-06-29 06:19:32 PM sandyping yes we do the same simple trivia
2017-06-29 06:19:45 PM tonih it's amazing what they remember once they get to thinking especially as a group.
2017-06-29 06:19:49 PM denisewiit we too too
2017-06-29 06:20:01 PM lisasittniewski yes...that's right. the earlier the memory, the better, too
2017-06-29 06:20:02 PM taras I have a difficult time on weekends when it's only CNAs and Nurses....they don't want to seem to get residents to and from activities. Admin says we might have to come in on weekends some and my other two co workers are seriously not wantinng to.
2017-06-29 06:20:10 PM denisewiit we played pictionary with trivia
2017-06-29 06:20:15 PM rosesyellow713 my residents dont like a lot of games
2017-06-29 06:20:16 PM kathyhughes Yes at one point the SNF residents stole the trophy from the Adult Day Care and the entire facility had to use clues to find it
2017-06-29 06:20:16 PM kacies it seems we have some days where everyone is all about our activities and other days we struggle to get them involved
2017-06-29 06:20:19 PM tonih snacks and trivia every monday, they love it!!
2017-06-29 06:20:28 PM denisewiit they played for almsot 2 hours
2017-06-29 06:20:40 PM ryanklemmer I love to see residents learn and enjoy new things. Many times that start something thinking it's boring because they can't get it, but then it's sweet to see them come around and enjoy it.
2017-06-29 06:21:03 PM tonih haha about the trophy
2017-06-29 06:21:06 PM denisewiit I hate those days kacies
2017-06-29 06:21:07 PM mzonneville only when food is involved are athe cna's most helpful
2017-06-29 06:21:10 PM lisasittniewski sometimes i think it is lack of self esteem that keeps residents from particiapting
2017-06-29 06:21:32 PM ryanklemmer Yes Lisa. It seems that many of mine get embarrassed.
2017-06-29 06:21:33 PM kathyhughes Well Tara....I had one person work Sunday through Thursday and another worked Tuesday through Saturday so they had the same 2 days off
2017-06-29 06:21:38 PM denisewiit i agree
2017-06-29 06:21:41 PM kathyhughes they loved the schedule
2017-06-29 06:21:57 PM sandyping Yes, I have the problem of everyone trying to sit in the back and they can't hear me, I have to almost force them closer
2017-06-29 06:22:06 PM kathyhughes and because they were Union they got paid extra for the weekend days
2017-06-29 06:22:21 PM lisasittniewski plan your seating in a circle around you...that way there is no far away seats!
2017-06-29 06:22:23 PM kathyhughes I used a microphone
2017-06-29 06:22:29 PM tonih yes the activities should have them leaving feeling good about themselves, so we need to do whatever it takes until it happens, easier questions or even have them read the questions....
2017-06-29 06:22:36 PM lisasittniewski :D I could see that, Kathy!
2017-06-29 06:22:45 PM kathyhughes Well I had to
2017-06-29 06:22:49 PM lisasittniewski adaption is the key, tonih
2017-06-29 06:23:01 PM denisewiit lwt hem call bingo too my residents love that
2017-06-29 06:23:06 PM kathyhughes I did have a couple of Adult Day Care residents make the questions
2017-06-29 06:23:07 PM taras See, I would be willing to since I live like five minutes away. And I could give up a few hours on a Saturday once a month....My peeps are so important to me, and I just want to see them happy! :)
2017-06-29 06:23:20 PM sandyping I tried that but they still moved back, I have been bringing them in and joking that I showerd today. I may have to try a microphone
2017-06-29 06:23:54 PM kathyhughes The microphone worked well
2017-06-29 06:23:58 PM lisasittniewski sandy :D aren't they stinkers sometimes?!
2017-06-29 06:24:14 PM sandyping IT s funney becuase they are very engaged and want to be there ?
2017-06-29 06:24:21 PM sandyping yes stubborn
2017-06-29 06:24:23 PM lisasittniewski too funny
2017-06-29 06:24:49 PM kathyhughes Everyone wants to sit in the back!
2017-06-29 06:24:57 PM sandyping So true
2017-06-29 06:25:01 PM mzonneville yes
2017-06-29 06:25:05 PM denisewiit i have a resident who gets so mad if someone is sitting in "her" chair in the dining room
2017-06-29 06:25:05 PM kacies true
2017-06-29 06:25:09 PM tonih when ii started the thought the had assigned seating at separate tsables, now we have 3-4 tables put together with all around it. it's cozy and many have come out of their shells.
2017-06-29 06:25:20 PM kacies we have a few spot savers too denise
2017-06-29 06:25:33 PM taras i am grabbing a pen and taking notes on these games!!
2017-06-29 06:25:34 PM denisewiit they are funny and territorial
2017-06-29 06:25:52 PM sandyping Oh yes,
2017-06-29 06:25:52 PM lisasittniewski if you click on the wrench above, you can print out the whole chat, taras
2017-06-29 06:25:54 PM mzonneville yes that's my table
2017-06-29 06:25:59 PM ryanklemmer It's sad too, because we have a male resident who's very outgoing, funny, and energetic, and other residents act snobby and always try to supress his happiness when he wants to show it.
2017-06-29 06:26:21 PM lisasittniewski thats ssad. how do you deal with that?
2017-06-29 06:26:28 PM kathyhughes There are always Debbie Downers!
2017-06-29 06:26:35 PM taras Well I am on my laptop and it's not hooked up to our printer.....:(
2017-06-29 06:26:35 PM amarkie i hate when that happens ryan
2017-06-29 06:26:36 PM denisewiit yes
2017-06-29 06:26:40 PM tonih we are the same way... think about the parking lot and your morning manager meetings, same spots each day I bet. :)
2017-06-29 06:26:46 PM lisasittniewski copy and save into a word document
2017-06-29 06:26:56 PM ryanklemmer I try to encourage him one on one and let him know I love his personality
2017-06-29 06:26:58 PM tammyd enter the chat room
2017-06-29 06:27:01 PM taras Thx Lisa!!
2017-06-29 06:27:05 PM kathyhughes Everyone likes their "spots"
2017-06-29 06:27:16 PM amarkie so true kathy
2017-06-29 06:27:20 PM lisasittniewski i would do the same thing....really build him up

2017-06-29 06:27:42 PM kathyhughes I would document on some residents on how they liked their spots
2017-06-29 06:27:48 PM mzonneville left the chat room
2017-06-29 06:27:50 PM tammyd good evening.
2017-06-29 06:27:53 PM mzonneville enter the chat room
2017-06-29 06:28:07 PM sandyping Knowing where they like to sit can be helpful
2017-06-29 06:28:08 PM lisasittniewski thats a good idea. i do that with bingo on the assisted living side when I get roped into calling for them
2017-06-29 06:28:12 PM tonih I have a couple that get jealous if I 'pay too much attention' to anyone else.
2017-06-29 06:28:14 PM denisewiit i try to document on different things too
2017-06-29 06:28:15 PM taras Kathy that is a great idea! I have one resident that literally sits in the same spot for EVERY activity!!!
2017-06-29 06:28:17 PM amarkie in care plans kathy??
2017-06-29 06:28:23 PM denisewiit me too toni

2017-06-29 06:28:57 PM marciatrimiew Jealousy...I was waiting for that word...so I'm not the only one...LOL
2017-06-29 06:29:01 PM mcgeemarie Yes, I care plan that they prefer to choose their own seats
2017-06-29 06:29:20 PM sandyping We have a resident now who yells out helpp all day even where you are helping her she is very needy. I have tried many interventions anyone have this nd any suggestions
2017-06-29 06:29:20 PM kathyhughes Esp the folks who liked to sit in the hallways to find out what was going on
