2018-08-07 06:30:24 PM cheyenneabbott enter the chat room
2018-08-07 06:30:31 PM conniefellers Yes. They do and at my facility it's ongoing. So far I don't have any volunteers who have been willing to make the long term commitment. They think that being willing to volunteer is enough of a commitment and they don't want to do the extra stuff.
2018-08-07 06:30:35 PM kathyhughes Yes lunch with your Advisor
2018-08-07 06:30:59 PM 2960580 do i have to do it

2018-08-07 06:31:13 PM kathyhughes You also have to remember that casual volunteers who are supervised may not have to go through all of that
2018-08-07 06:31:26 PM caro17 i check in with my advisor every other day or she calls and ask if everything is going well... i got lucky with my advisor
2018-08-07 06:31:29 PM kathyhughes NO I was answering Miles
2018-08-07 06:31:35 PM conniefellers My facility requires it for all

2018-08-07 06:32:17 PM paulathessen My Advisor is also now going thru a new transition, she just became Don and new Aministrator same week, at least we help each other mentally!
2018-08-07 06:32:19 PM conniefellers Ill look into it, Kathy.
2018-08-07 06:32:27 PM conniefellers Thank you
2018-08-07 06:32:48 PM kathyhughes sometimes we can tweek them and not have to say it flat out,,,but if you can change the polict
2018-08-07 06:32:51 PM kathyhughes pl
2018-08-07 06:32:54 PM kathyhughes policy
2018-08-07 06:32:54 PM juliet16 somed other volunteers need certain hours for school requirements
2018-08-07 06:33:30 PM kathyhughes Yes and they can be supervised for the short period of time
2018-08-07 06:33:33 PM parult ok. i'll keep now
2018-08-07 06:33:36 PM paulathessen yes I had one this summer took 6 weeks of onboarding
2018-08-07 06:34:11 PM conniefellers wholly moly, paula. And they stuck with it?
2018-08-07 06:34:26 PM conniefellers oops I meant Holy Moly.
2018-08-07 06:34:32 PM kathyhughes We have volunteers who never came to the facility they would send cards once a month to residents without families and some would call once a week
2018-08-07 06:34:32 PM conniefellers lol\
2018-08-07 06:34:38 PM 2960580 what is that
2018-08-07 06:34:43 PM rwwright18 I have 4-5 year veteran volunteer groups leaving because kitchen staff are 25-30 minutes late with meals and clean up daily. Volunteers waiting to start activities and nowhere to host them. Help?
2018-08-07 06:34:48 PM paulathessen Yes Connie, i felt so bad for her she did everythinh
2018-08-07 06:34:59 PM 2960580 we ahve lots og volenters come

2018-08-07 06:35:38 PM paulathessen She's dedicated and good with them
2018-08-07 06:35:43 PM conniefellers Is she still volunteering now that her training is complete, Paula?
2018-08-07 06:35:57 PM juliet16 yes same with our facility to kathy
2018-08-07 06:36:14 PM kathyhughes I would suggest that you discuss this with the Dietary manager and the Administrator....not only will you loose volunteers you will be missing a community assest and the reputation of the facility is at risk
2018-08-07 06:36:30 PM mileswagneriii yep
2018-08-07 06:36:31 PM paulathessen Yes she is Connie and I hope when school starts she will stay part time
2018-08-07 06:36:38 PM jessew that is true
2018-08-07 06:36:48 PM jessew The facilities reputation is huge
2018-08-07 06:36:57 PM kathyhughes and the word will be out there...lost admissions due to them leaving
2018-08-07 06:37:00 PM mileswagneriii absolutely
2018-08-07 06:37:07 PM rwwright18 It is addressed at mmorning meeting and Dietary says it is due to cutbacks in time for employees. Out of her hands.
2018-08-07 06:37:07 PM kathyhughes Do you have a Marketing person?
2018-08-07 06:37:16 PM 2960580 no
2018-08-07 06:37:21 PM kathyhughes Bologna!
2018-08-07 06:37:26 PM mileswagneriii kathy I do how does that help
2018-08-07 06:37:29 PM 2960580 wha tis taht
2018-08-07 06:37:47 PM lalibby Kathy, having volunteers call and write letters is a great thing.
2018-08-07 06:37:48 PM kathyhughes Then I would ask for a private meeting with the Dietary person and the ADM
2018-08-07 06:37:52 PM kathy52 yes we have one
2018-08-07 06:37:53 PM rwwright18 Not inhouse. Over multiple building.
2018-08-07 06:37:56 PM mariaslayton enter the chat room
2018-08-07 06:38:14 PM kathyhughes Yes Miles it certainly helps if you have that situation
2018-08-07 06:38:16 PM 2960580 not bad
2018-08-07 06:38:21 PM sonal enter the chat room
2018-08-07 06:38:22 PM jessew The managers are the mareketing team at my facility... we all wear many hats
2018-08-07 06:38:32 PM michaelasalinas So the AD would meet with the DM and ADM to discuss
2018-08-07 06:38:52 PM mayuridshah we do not have specific marketing person. we all act like marketing person.
2018-08-07 06:38:59 PM rwwright18 I think the letter writing and calls are a great idea. My parents are in a home and love letters and cards.
2018-08-07 06:39:00 PM kathyhughes Yes Michael
2018-08-07 06:39:07 PM mariaslayton Finally connected !!!!

2018-08-07 06:39:40 PM sonal enter the chat room
2018-08-07 06:40:04 PM rwwright18 I have met with each individually. I think we are going to have to meet together with ADM to get anywhere.
2018-08-07 06:40:26 PM sonal hi
2018-08-07 06:40:29 PM kathyhughes If they are long term volunteers they know your facility and now they will be talking with others (seniors and potential admissions) so I would sit the Dietary manager and ADM down for a meeting
2018-08-07 06:40:38 PM mariaslayton Our Marketing Director is awesome! He has a lot of experience reaching out to bring more residents everyday.
2018-08-07 06:41:12 PM kathyhughes Right....once they are together you can all solve the problem
2018-08-07 06:41:21 PM rwwright18 Kathy, I believe this is the route to go to get results. I will keep you posted.
2018-08-07 06:41:22 PM mileswagneriii okay guys it has been great but I am on a 12 hour work day so I must bid you all farewell for tonight a 1 hour and 20 minute drive awaits. Chat with you all next week. Good night
