2019-03-21 05:58:01 PM kristenamrein I've been getting some things done on the final packet. Kathy, could you be a little more clear about the policies and procedures we need to present at the Staff Meeting? Are they federal regulations we're supposed to be discussing or facility regulations?

2019-03-21 05:59:03 PM salinass hello everyone
2019-03-21 05:59:10 PM kathyhughes A policy and procedure is a facility procedure...how to do a specific program and written out so everyone can pick up the paper and do the activity
2019-03-21 05:59:10 PM virginiamooney Hi :)
2019-03-21 05:59:22 PM kathyhughes A policy is why you are doing the program
2019-03-21 05:59:41 PM salinass its a template for the activity right?
2019-03-21 06:00:05 PM dreamad hello
2019-03-21 06:00:22 PM salinass hello all
2019-03-21 06:00:23 PM kathyhughes Correct...you used the planning forms in MEPAP1 and they can be prosedure forms
2019-03-21 06:00:24 PM salinass hope everyone is doing well
2019-03-21 06:00:56 PM salinass i remember those
2019-03-21 06:00:56 PM virginiamooney Great, how about you?
2019-03-21 06:01:19 PM kathyhughes We all had to have a procedure for each activity
2019-03-21 06:01:21 PM kristenamrein Ok so I mistyped my question: the standards that we are supposed to be presenting at the Staff Meeting, they're for the facility, correct?
2019-03-21 06:01:29 PM salinass i am good, just got home from having dinner. i was worried i was not going to make it.
2019-03-21 06:02:01 PM salinass kristen that is a good question, i was wondering what that was too
2019-03-21 06:02:04 PM kathyhughes The standards are the department standards for providing activities
2019-03-21 06:02:32 PM kathyhughes An EXAMPLE is that all group activities will start on time...the time printed on the calendar
2019-03-21 06:02:32 PM kristenamrein Oh ok, that's what I'm working on next, the other is the game we're supposed to introduce. Thanks, Kathy!
2019-03-21 06:02:34 PM mblackstone10 did you type out your procedure? How did you enforce what that was ?
2019-03-21 06:03:11 PM calixc3 enter the chat room
2019-03-21 06:03:14 PM kathyhughes I had the entire dept work on them and we did use the planning forms that I have in MEPAP1
2019-03-21 06:03:40 PM kathyhughes That way when we did a new program we would simply fill out the form and add it to our procedures
2019-03-21 06:03:44 PM kathyhughes Hello Nathan
2019-03-21 06:03:54 PM calixc3 Hello!
2019-03-21 06:04:06 PM mblackstone10 good idea.
2019-03-21 06:04:36 PM kathyhughes We made sure that anyone could read the procedure and follow it so it was very detailed
2019-03-21 06:04:38 PM salinass kathy those were the planning forms for large/small/one to one groups right?
2019-03-21 06:04:53 PM kathyhughes They should be in Resources
2019-03-21 06:05:02 PM kathyhughes and they are in the MEPAP1 classes
2019-03-21 06:05:11 PM mblackstone10 thanks Kathy
2019-03-21 06:05:13 PM mblackstone10 I will be using them.
2019-03-21 06:05:39 PM calixc3 My team filled them out and it put alot of things into prespective
2019-03-21 06:05:46 PM kathyhughes We all found them helpful
2019-03-21 06:05:57 PM kathyhughes Great do tell!!!
2019-03-21 06:05:58 PM salinass they are very helpful
2019-03-21 06:06:01 PM dreamad very helpful
2019-03-21 06:07:01 PM kathyhughes What cracks me up are the people who do not use them for their assignments
2019-03-21 06:07:04 PM calixc3 for alot of the physical games beacuse of either not enough table space or to many tables and chairs in the way.
2019-03-21 06:07:18 PM kathyhughes and I have to explain to them how helpful they are
2019-03-21 06:07:44 PM kathyhughes Yep it does give everyone additional information for planning activities
2019-03-21 06:07:49 PM calixc3 so i said work with house keeping to have them removed and cleaned during that time frame while your doing your programming
2019-03-21 06:08:08 PM kathyhughes right
2019-03-21 06:08:43 PM calixc3 what is needed and how many people is needed to run the programs
2019-03-21 06:08:54 PM calixc3 thinking out supply list while you write your calendar
2019-03-21 06:09:08 PM salinass kathy can you give me one more example on the policy and procedure
2019-03-21 06:09:12 PM kathyhughes supplies and materials are important and filling in the form helps with that too
2019-03-21 06:09:21 PM calixc3 give your self time to chart
2019-03-21 06:09:30 PM mblackstone10 You are right and when I was in 1 my team used them a few times, but I will be reenforcing it because im reshaping my team and adding new people
2019-03-21 06:09:31 PM kathyhughes I can email you a sample if you email me in the morning
2019-03-21 06:09:44 PM virginiamooney (y)
2019-03-21 06:09:48 PM salinass thank you kathy, i will do that, i appreciate it.
2019-03-21 06:09:50 PM kathyhughes A policy is why you do something
2019-03-21 06:10:07 PM kathyhughes So mine was a brief statement....
2019-03-21 06:10:41 PM kristenamrein I used to be a teacher, we used to have to write lesson plans all the time, which included materials, objectives, setup, procedures, etc., right down to accomodations. I already knew what needed to be written up (for the most part), so making the switch to the forms we use in class was a breeze!
2019-03-21 06:10:43 PM salinass okay i understand now.
2019-03-21 06:10:48 PM kathyhughes Will provide activities that meet the needs and interests of the residents. Will follow the Federal and State regulations to provide quality activities
2019-03-21 06:11:46 PM salinass okay i get it now
2019-03-21 06:12:12 PM kathyhughes Now remember that you have to follow your own policy and procedure so they should be specific to your facility and your staff...the state has given deficiencies if you do not follow your own policy and procedure
2019-03-21 06:13:00 PM kristenamrein So I assume they're made aware of the policies and procedures before they come for survey?
2019-03-21 06:13:21 PM kathyhughes No but if there is an issue they can look at them
2019-03-21 06:13:49 PM kathyhughes they do not have every facilities P&P manual in their offices
2019-03-21 06:13:53 PM salinass thank you kathy, i am starting to get it now
2019-03-21 06:13:54 PM kristenamrein Oh ok!
2019-03-21 06:14:18 PM kathyhughes so if they observe something and have a question or a resident/familiy complains they will ask to see it
2019-03-21 06:14:23 PM calixc3 and it can be a tag if you have a p&p and your not following it.
2019-03-21 06:14:30 PM kathyhughes Correct
2019-03-21 06:15:19 PM kathyhughes So next month is National Volunteer Appreciation Month....ideas???
2019-03-21 06:15:24 PM kathyhughes Be specific
2019-03-21 06:15:46 PM kathyhughes Gifts
2019-03-21 06:15:46 PM kathyhughes Ideas
2019-03-21 06:15:45 PM kathyhughes we are all having a luncheon or dinner....theme?
2019-03-21 06:15:50 PM mblackstone10 Volunteer Ceremony and Dinner. The ceremony will outline individuals years of service

2019-03-21 06:18:09 PM mblackstone10 I'm trying to decide if we should do a raffle during the actual dinner
2019-03-21 06:18:13 PM salinass our memory care has severval volunteers and next year we will be having something different for them. We want to make it really special for them. the other activity department pays for all of their "volunteers". we dont
2019-03-21 06:18:22 PM calixc3 wood create from Michaels and the theme of the items is you have a heart of gold and everything in the basket has gold in the brand name or items.
2019-03-21 06:18:39 PM salinass pay for any of ours. all of ours are free

2019-03-21 06:19:39 PM kristenamrein We don't have any volunteers really, unless you count the Pharmacy Techinician school we partner with, and that's only seasonal.
