2018-07-10 05:42:17 PM kathyhughes Yes they can be empowering!
2018-07-10 05:42:35 PM kathyhughes And its good to be able to be with folks who know what you do
2018-07-10 05:43:07 PM karenfabian It was a great experience - yes, so great to all be talking the same language. What you think is unique to our building ----is so not!
2018-07-10 05:43:35 PM kathyhughes I agree
2018-07-10 05:43:52 PM karenfabian There was a large conversation that I told them I would ask you tonight -

2018-07-10 05:47:19 PM kathyhughes I would have to review the new regulations....from last November...but that is a good question to post in the NCCAP Facebook page and see what they all think

2018-07-10 05:49:10 PM kathyhughes No you can take pictures of the back of their heads, decor or ask staff to be the residents
2018-07-10 05:49:25 PM kathyhughes Unless the residents have signed a waiver
2018-07-10 05:49:42 PM juliet16 ok thanks

2018-07-10 05:56:03 PM paulathessen enter the chat room
2018-07-10 05:56:05 PM mariaslayton I could think on open a space for them to "Show their Talents", young fellows like the music and to perform.
2018-07-10 05:56:17 PM stephreed5 Hi Kathy -- for the upcoming assignments are we to actually fill out the forms or just use them to write a paper?
2018-07-10 05:56:20 PM kathyhughes Have you looked at getting video games for them
2018-07-10 05:56:38 PM juliet16 for the 1:1 planning tool week 6 it says to complete this form for 2 of my 1:1 activities what do you mean by that
2018-07-10 05:56:41 PM paulathessen Hello everyone!!! :)

2018-07-10 05:56:53 PM caro17 we have a Wii it works better for our "younger" residents
2018-07-10 05:57:13 PM 12716937 Hi everyone!! Keytun here. I hope everyone had a great day! Kathy, I am doing the own pace class and was wondering if there was a specific amount of these classroom chats I am supposed to do? I just don't want to miss anything.
2018-07-10 05:57:17 PM kathyhughes It is a good thing to use the forms provided as they can act as procedures for your activities
2018-07-10 05:57:27 PM lorik budget is very limited as everyknows but a used game system might be the way to go.

2018-07-10 05:58:46 PM 12716937 Okay, I thought I read that somewhere but I was just making sure. Thank you so much
2018-07-10 05:58:55 PM kathyhughes You can ask for donations of systems for the residents
2018-07-10 05:59:04 PM stephreed5 ok thanks I was sorta confused about the word "tool" -- if we were to fill it out or just use it to write a paper.
2018-07-10 05:59:15 PM norae bakes sales, yard sales, etc. are good fundraisers
2018-07-10 05:59:23 PM gladysyoung58 donations is a great idea
2018-07-10 05:59:24 PM kathyhughes and I would bet that the younger residents want to access social media and other tech stuff
2018-07-10 05:59:41 PM dianep enter the chat room
2018-07-10 05:59:50 PM kathyhughes How about having someone come and talk about different computer games and resources

2018-07-10 06:01:33 PM kssmith Chair frisbee games, Rook, Spades fir the younger crowd
2018-07-10 06:01:46 PM norae just bc they're in a community doesn't mean they don't enjoy the same things as you or I would
2018-07-10 06:01:49 PM kathyhughes Also see if there are some community service projects that they can do
2018-07-10 06:01:55 PM paulathessen alot of times the younger ones enjoy helping in activities, also mine like take out food night and we eat dinner together
2018-07-10 06:02:02 PM norae and if they have things they enjoy it will cut down on behaviors
2018-07-10 06:02:08 PM kathyhughes What would you like to do Nora?
2018-07-10 06:02:22 PM norae I did just a night for them dinner and younger type movie
2018-07-10 06:02:36 PM norae or whatever they wanted to do
2018-07-10 06:02:37 PM cpierce at my last place we use to do card sharks (black jack) it was a huge hit
2018-07-10 06:02:55 PM stephreed5 oh dinner and a movie...ummm never thought of that
2018-07-10 06:03:02 PM paulathessen me too they like black jack
2018-07-10 06:03:10 PM mariaslayton Well, for your young residents try to get Tablets and help them to find some good programs as ANIMAL PLANET.......they will atrack their attention. Everyone likes animals Lol.
2018-07-10 06:03:15 PM darleensunter enter the chat room
2018-07-10 06:03:37 PM paulathessen we also have a kitchen for them to cook dinner together
2018-07-10 06:03:50 PM jessicaw87 we used a wii till the controlers disappeared. We also have newer moivies for them to watch and 1 to 1 computer time. We don't have a media room in our facility but many of our residetns actually have laptops
2018-07-10 06:03:58 PM norae they need something just for them. most activities are geared towards older people...so what is unique to that generation
2018-07-10 06:04:09 PM darleensunter Hello everyone
2018-07-10 06:04:15 PM kathyhughes Hello!
2018-07-10 06:04:18 PM gladysyoung58 our young residents like to dance so we have a dance party every week
2018-07-10 06:04:20 PM lorik I do have one that helps do nails and makeup. ok now my mind is working. They could even have a movie later at night and pick it from RedBox with moctails
2018-07-10 06:04:26 PM juliet16 hi darleen
2018-07-10 06:04:29 PM cheyenneabbott does anyone have any activity suggestions for aggresive residents?
2018-07-10 06:04:34 PM norae I grew up on 80's music, so I'd love to listen to 80's and jam
2018-07-10 06:04:39 PM cpierce cooking would be a good idea they can help make dinner so they don't feel useless
2018-07-10 06:04:44 PM paulathessen music from their generation, dance or formal night
2018-07-10 06:04:49 PM dianep We have an apple tv and can use the ipad to mirror games and trivia so everyone can see the questions.
2018-07-10 06:04:53 PM adriennem enter the chat room
2018-07-10 06:05:02 PM norae why are they agressive I think is the key. What are their interest

2018-07-10 06:06:19 PM norae If their interest aren't being met, then they are probably acting our as an attetion seeking to get their needs met. It's almost like they're saying hey look at me, notice me

2018-07-10 06:07:22 PM cheyenneabbott this resident has dementia and lashes out at the aides . He never has swung at me , but he doesn't really want to praticipate . Music is what I use so he ins't so strung, he doesn't talk much but he does giggle time to time.
2018-07-10 06:07:24 PM mariaslayton Yes, they are only trying to atract the attention of someone.
2018-07-10 06:07:26 PM adriennem and never lose patients!
2018-07-10 06:07:28 PM norae at a community I was at we had a guy that was really agressive, but I figured out what he wanted, and then he was cool
2018-07-10 06:07:30 PM trisha1903 good evening
2018-07-10 06:07:41 PM paulathessen no fail crafts help like tie dying t-shirts, something they are proud of
2018-07-10 06:07:42 PM norae if he has dementia, it's part of it
2018-07-10 06:07:45 PM adriennem patience I mean
2018-07-10 06:07:51 PM dianep cheyenne- we use a program called Music and Memories. The whole purpose is to let them listen to the music they like. You use a splitter so you can have headphones and listen along. You could also try aroma therapy- use a quiet room and diffuser
2018-07-10 06:07:51 PM norae but you need to find soothing things for him
2018-07-10 06:07:58 PM norae he could be overstimulated
2018-07-10 06:08:07 PM adriennem You could bring in some things from a snoezelen room torelax him
2018-07-10 06:08:12 PM lorik Love the tshirt idea
2018-07-10 06:08:18 PM adriennem i try to bring my residents to a quiet space when they are aggressive
2018-07-10 06:08:20 PM norae fidge mats, pat mats are good
2018-07-10 06:08:28 PM norae fidget...
2018-07-10 06:09:00 PM cheyenneabbott yes I love the aroma therapy ... He only trusts me so it's hard for the aides to calm him..
2018-07-10 06:09:03 PM paulathessen i have a fake cat that moves and purrs, meows..they also have dogs
2018-07-10 06:09:05 PM trisha1903 Sometimes quiet surroundings helps with aggressive behavior
2018-07-10 06:09:06 PM norae sandboxes work well, but you have to keep an eye on them so they don't eat the sand
2018-07-10 06:09:25 PM kathyhughes Yes and finding things that are familiar to them so that they have some items to talk about
2018-07-10 06:09:27 PM norae hide stuff in the sand for the to find
2018-07-10 06:09:31 PM stephreed5 do they like the fake cat?
2018-07-10 06:09:48 PM cheyenneabbott Thank you all!!
2018-07-10 06:09:56 PM cheyenneabbott Love the ideas!
2018-07-10 06:10:05 PM norae we have a nursery in our community for our ladies with dementia that want to look after babie
2018-07-10 06:10:07 PM dianep Maybe you could set up a diffuser in his room
2018-07-10 06:10:09 PM darleensunter Did anyone have a chance to get ideas from the activity companion?
2018-07-10 06:10:14 PM paulathessen they love it, they take turns stealing him to their rooms and try to feed it
2018-07-10 06:10:16 PM 12716937 I use familiar things as well Kathy. It seems to work best for my residents.
2018-07-10 06:10:29 PM sissykay how does the nursery thing work?

2018-07-10 06:10:52 PM trisha1903 creative forecasting has good ideas as well
2018-07-10 06:10:54 PM kssmith Soemtimes they are disoriented and fearful and begin to act out. Assuring them that they are safe, loved, and right where they are supposed to be helps-then aske them to help you with something to validate them.
2018-07-10 06:11:10 PM norae it has a crib, baby dolls, bottles diapers, etc. and they can go in ther and rock the baby and put it to sleep etc.
2018-07-10 06:11:20 PM kathy52 hi my name is kathy
2018-07-10 06:11:20 PM stephreed5 we had a stuffed cat show up out of nowhere just today at the nurses station....a few of the high functioning residents just loved to hold it. I was surprised by their reaction...i bet one that moves will really take off
2018-07-10 06:11:22 PM adriennem Facial expressions are so important too! I always try to be smilling and moving slow
2018-07-10 06:11:25 PM sissykay aaaawe
2018-07-10 06:11:33 PM darleensunter I was emailed a website activitycompanion.com
2018-07-10 06:11:55 PM norae i had a resident whose cat died, and she had it stuffed, and at first I thought it was fake....nope it was real.
2018-07-10 06:11:55 PM paulathessen sounds like the nursery is good for both men and women
2018-07-10 06:11:58 PM kathyhughes I will have to look that one up...thanks Darleen

2018-07-10 06:12:35 PM paulathessen woe!!! the cat was in her room?
2018-07-10 06:12:40 PM mariaslayton Sandboxes is not a good idea I think, because they could bring their hands to their faces and put the sand on their eyes.
2018-07-10 06:12:41 PM norae by Teepa Snow. she has lots of info on dementia
2018-07-10 06:12:41 PM dianep Never heard of activitycompanion.com. activityconnection is a great site.
