2013-08-22 06:23:21 PM horton several of those
2013-08-22 06:23:28 PM bhanson Some residents enjoy their personal space and don't require or enjoy as much socialization.
2013-08-22 06:23:39 PM kathyhughes I dropped off an enlarged TV schedule every AM
2013-08-22 06:23:49 PM 29645 i read the mail to several and dont have a clue if they hear me never make eye contact

2013-08-22 06:25:38 PM kathyhughes and depends on the resident
2013-08-22 06:25:47 PM kathyhughes good
2013-08-22 06:25:59 PM kathyhughes Nope that was his 1-1 activity
2013-08-22 06:26:12 PM bhanson I wish all of the residents would willing participate in activities but I suppose that is not a realistic goal - every resident is different and may not be interested in activiites, especially the short-term rehab residents. They just want to get in and get out so they can go back home.
2013-08-22 06:26:15 PM 29645 oh ok
2013-08-22 06:27:06 PM kathyhughes right Brooke and do you really think that after 30 years of doing activities I want to go to activities when I get to your facility?

2013-08-22 06:33:08 PM frankin you right.
2013-08-22 06:33:22 PM kathyhughes It would depend on the residents I would guess

2013-08-27 05:47:25 PM scalabrese i know one thing, being mentally exhausted and drained sucks! lol
2013-08-27 05:47:32 PM kathyhughes right
2013-08-27 05:47:41 PM angiemcentire we give snacks to the residents for bingo some of the bingo prizes if that is what they choose from the bingo box for the ones that can have it but i have a girl that covers for me on the weekend when i returned to work this morning she has ate all my prize snacks lol
2013-08-27 05:48:05 PM scalabrese omg
2013-08-27 05:48:15 PM kathyhughes I guess that she will be buying more snacks!

2013-08-27 05:48:17 PM heatherg well we are in mock servey right now at my work
2013-08-27 05:48:23 PM adaigrepont76 Kathy -- you asked if we had questions about the assignments. I do have one. On the course forum for week 4, it says: Discuss with your fellow students the process of auditing your assessments and how this calendar differs from the calendar that you have in place now. --- Does auditing my assessments mean going over my assessments of my residents? and I don't understand what two calendars are being referenced? Can you explain? Thank you.
2013-08-27 05:48:26 PM scalabrese my thoughts exactly kathy
2013-08-27 05:48:29 PM angiemcentire yeah i had to go get more for bingo today
2013-08-27 05:48:34 PM heatherg I think I am going to pull out my hair lol

2013-08-27 05:49:06 PM angiemcentire i will be writing her up now we are doing inventory on the bingo box. lmbo
2013-08-27 05:49:17 PM kathyhughes don't scare people Steve!

2013-08-27 05:50:04 PM heatherg geez angie
2013-08-27 05:50:15 PM heatherg thats to bad
2013-08-27 05:50:31 PM heatherg I have had that happen to me not good
2013-08-27 05:50:32 PM kathyhughes Angie the assignment is to audit your assessments from your residents to make sure that you are meeting their needs and interests so you can make sure that you are doing activities that the residents want
2013-08-27 05:50:58 PM kathyhughes I would audit mine quarterly to make sure that I was meeting their interests
2013-08-27 05:51:16 PM heatherg yes i do that here
2013-08-27 05:51:17 PM kathyhughes and you look at your calendar to see if their interests are in there
2013-08-27 05:51:22 PM juniorbull ok.. do you think i can use the same kind of outline for the research paper as the alzeimers sample given
2013-08-27 05:51:25 PM heatherg every three months
2013-08-27 05:51:41 PM angiemcentire i do assessments quarterly
2013-08-27 05:51:42 PM adaigrepont76 That's what I thought, but then it said how does this calendar differ from the calendar that you have in place now. Does that just mean does my assessments meet what is on the current calendar as compared to a calendar that I might make after assessing them? Thanks!
2013-08-27 05:51:42 PM kathyhughes yes you can Steve
2013-08-27 05:51:49 PM kathyhughes Hello Emily
2013-08-27 05:51:54 PM 091190 hello
2013-08-27 05:52:12 PM kathyhughes there just might be some changes in your calendar
2013-08-27 05:52:25 PM adaigrepont76 Okay, thanks. Guess I understood it better than I thought!
2013-08-27 05:52:31 PM scalabrese ok so here is my question................what if their interests are on there and you are doing things they requested to be on there and they still give you a tough time about wanting to do things, sometimes they have NO motivation and we cant force them obviously
2013-08-27 05:52:44 PM kathyhughes for example one month I found 5 residents who liked the Young and the REstless
2013-08-27 05:52:55 PM kathyhughes so we had a Yand R luncheon
2013-08-27 05:53:09 PM heatherg lol
2013-08-27 05:53:10 PM adaigrepont76 Well that sounds fun!
2013-08-27 05:53:25 PM juniorbull great one of my residents has cerebral palsey and is close with me and to know the person is a great asset to this assignment
2013-08-27 05:53:27 PM kathyhughes right Stefani there are folks who don
2013-08-27 05:53:33 PM heatherg we did the price is right
2013-08-27 05:53:37 PM kathyhughes don't like to be in groups
2013-08-27 05:53:58 PM angiemcentire we do wheel of fortune
2013-08-27 05:54:19 PM kathyhughes So you can come up with an activity for them in a small group or 1-1
2013-08-27 05:54:38 PM heatherg but things can change so we have to change with the residents likes and dislikes
2013-08-27 05:55:08 PM kathyhughes that is true, which is why I had an activities committee of residents
2013-08-27 05:55:22 PM dianajacoby enter the chat room
2013-08-27 05:55:23 PM kathyhughes and would ask Resident Council
2013-08-27 05:55:24 PM heatherg I have that here Kathy
2013-08-27 05:55:25 PM juniorbull yes but we must do both 1-1 and group right?
2013-08-27 05:55:35 PM kathyhughes Hello Diana
2013-08-27 05:55:39 PM dianajacoby Hi, Kathy!
2013-08-27 05:55:47 PM kathyhughes You should be doing both Steve

2013-08-27 05:56:24 PM kathyhughes Hello Amanda
2013-08-27 05:56:24 PM hellomia2 hi Kathy
2013-08-27 05:56:27 PM ajlamb Hello Kathy
2013-08-27 05:56:56 PM kathyhughes The trick is to make the 1-1 activities an activity
2013-08-27 05:57:25 PM kathyhughes and to keep the group programs easy and to educate people to do the grooups
2013-08-27 05:57:48 PM dianajacoby Kathy, for our communication discussion for the final, does this need to be in an ADN live chat room, or can we connect through email?
2013-08-27 05:58:05 PM scalabrese ok.....yeah im totally flexible and go with the flow but an ombudsman stopped in yesterday and FREAKED out because we didnt start an activity on time. yesterday i was the only one there in the department trying to gather residents for it and got held up with one of them. again i cant force people to attend and there was a couple there but they changed their mind on what they wanted to do
2013-08-27 05:58:05 PM ajlamb left the chat room
2013-08-27 05:58:13 PM kathyhughes You can do either,,,but the chat room is always open
2013-08-27 05:58:28 PM dianajacoby Thanks!
2013-08-27 05:58:52 PM juniorbull ok thats good knowledge to apply
2013-08-27 05:59:17 PM kathyhughes It happens and I would have asked the Ombudsman what he/she would suggest when the activities dept is short staffed?!
