2019-08-22 06:06:49 PM wilmaholt I will have to go talk to my ED or contact my advisor tomorrow
2019-08-22 06:06:52 PM jpitrone I am currently inbetween switching jobs/communities .. so i'm not sure what is planned for september
2019-08-22 06:07:39 PM virginiamooney Vague info... someone sent me an article. Not enough stuck to make a comment. :)
2019-08-22 06:07:39 PM kathyhughes Well in a nut shell...if you have Medicare residents then you will need to write a daily note on their progress
2019-08-22 06:07:45 PM kathyhughes Ok
2019-08-22 06:07:57 PM kathyhughes Well it would be for rehab residents
2019-08-22 06:08:11 PM kathyhughes it will increase your reimbursement from Medicare
2019-08-22 06:08:24 PM wilmaholt wow!
2019-08-22 06:08:30 PM virginiamooney intense
2019-08-22 06:08:36 PM cassandracl12 Like daily activity progression?
2019-08-22 06:09:15 PM kathyhughes Form what I have gathered...it can be a simple one line ...yes Cassandra a daily progression of how they are doing
2019-08-22 06:09:42 PM wilmaholt ok sounds good..thats for the heads up
2019-08-22 06:09:58 PM azhia1 enter the chat room
2019-08-22 06:10:00 PM cassandracl12 Ok great my staff already do this for everyone in the building
2019-08-22 06:10:09 PM cassandracl12 We have a spreadhseet template with room for comments daily
2019-08-22 06:10:33 PM kathyhughes Now the second part that came out this week is that the gov't is concerned that residents are not being diagnosed with depression as much as "they" think
2019-08-22 06:10:42 PM dianep I work in assisted living and per company policy am required to do a monthly summary for activities.
2019-08-22 06:10:43 PM azhia1 left the chat room
2019-08-22 06:10:50 PM jpitrone How would you have time to write all daily notes for medicare resdients daily?
2019-08-22 06:10:58 PM kathyhughes It does not affect Assisted Living
2019-08-22 06:10:59 PM cassandracl12 Doesnt the social worker diagnose them with that through their assessment then they follow up with a doctor?
2019-08-22 06:11:34 PM daniellesitzer Wow I didnt know this. I work in memory care AL
2019-08-22 06:11:46 PM kathyhughes I am not sure I am still trying to find out additional information, however this should be addressed by activities in the residents care plans and notes
2019-08-22 06:12:03 PM virginiamooney ^o)
2019-08-22 06:12:05 PM cassandracl12 I made a list of nonpharmacological interventions activities can provide residents and gave an inservice on it to the staff last yeara especially for depressed and anxious residents
2019-08-22 06:12:13 PM kathyhughes Apparently the facility stands to make some hefty money for this one
2019-08-22 06:12:22 PM cassandracl12 How will they make money
2019-08-22 06:12:33 PM kathyhughes so I would guess that more residents will be diagnosed with depression
2019-08-22 06:12:55 PM kathyhughes So study up on the signs and symptoms of depression
2019-08-22 06:13:05 PM kimranck I know several heads of our skilled unit were away last week to learn the medicare changes but did not share any info. with me yet.
2019-08-22 06:13:08 PM kathyhughes They will be reimbursed by the gov't
2019-08-22 06:13:27 PM virginiamooney Most of my residents are already on an anti depressent.
2019-08-22 06:13:43 PM kathyhughes If they did not share with you....do not ask! Perhaps once they figure it out they may ask you to do something
2019-08-22 06:13:50 PM cassandracl12 So residents come in get diagnosed with depression. Govt pays building more through medicare if Activities does daily progress notes on them?
2019-08-22 06:14:02 PM kimranck Good advice.
2019-08-22 06:14:16 PM azhia1 enter the chat room
2019-08-22 06:14:19 PM virginiamooney (y)
2019-08-22 06:14:23 PM kathyhughes NO Cassandra ....it is not only activities...it has to be the entire team
2019-08-22 06:14:36 PM kathyhughes Do not offer! Just prepare!
2019-08-22 06:14:37 PM cassandracl12 Oh ok good. That would be a lot of pressure haha
2019-08-22 06:14:51 PM kathyhughes It would have to be the entire facility
2019-08-22 06:14:52 PM wilmaholt Thanks for this advice bc Im taking note of this and asking ?'s tomorrow with my advisor
2019-08-22 06:15:25 PM kathyhughes Just prepare and do some planning when you have time....I would do that but NEVER ask! 8-|
2019-08-22 06:15:37 PM wilmaholt ok
2019-08-22 06:15:41 PM virginiamooney gotcha
2019-08-22 06:15:44 PM kathyhughes I was prepared.....and could institute the change if required
2019-08-22 06:15:51 PM azhia1 left the chat room
2019-08-22 06:15:56 PM kathyhughes (:o)
2019-08-22 06:16:36 PM kathyhughes There are several bits and pieces of info out there, but I always look on the CMS website and do some snooping around
2019-08-22 06:16:53 PM kathyhughes and when asked about anything I always ask to see the regulation
2019-08-22 06:18:06 PM kathyhughes So any questions about that??
2019-08-22 06:18:13 PM jpitrone oh okay, thanks for the information Kathy
2019-08-22 06:18:27 PM kimranck No thanks for the info.
2019-08-22 06:18:32 PM cassandracl12 Don't think so.
2019-08-22 06:18:44 PM virginiamooney I think I'm good, thanks
2019-08-22 06:19:03 PM kathyhughes Remember to keep the documentation simple and to the point....do not go off and develop complicated forms...just simple and to the point
2019-08-22 06:19:07 PM wilmaholt no not at this time
2019-08-22 06:19:20 PM wilmaholt ok
2019-08-22 06:19:38 PM daniellesitzer no questions for me
2019-08-22 06:20:01 PM kathyhughes There have been questions on the Facebook pages about Fundraising and entertainment....I would like to know why you have entertainment once a week?
2019-08-22 06:21:02 PM kathyhughes Anyone out there???
2019-08-22 06:21:17 PM kimranck We have always had entertainment every wednesday. We have additional entertainment in our Memory unit and again for our birthday madness? Is this more then you would expect?
2019-08-22 06:21:22 PM cassandracl12 why we have entertainment?
2019-08-22 06:21:34 PM kathyhughes Why you have it one a week
2019-08-22 06:21:50 PM cassandracl12 We have music therapy every monday for memory care and entertainment at least once a week throughout the building.
2019-08-22 06:21:54 PM dianep I only have entertainment 2x monthly.
2019-08-22 06:22:06 PM virginiamooney We have 1-2 times a week.
2019-08-22 06:22:14 PM cassandracl12 Entertinment helps reminisce about their favorite music, or where they saw musicals, or their first concert.
2019-08-22 06:22:17 PM daniellesitzer I am here but we have some people who volunteer and some paid. We have it weekly because its usually different types of music
2019-08-22 06:22:18 PM kathyhughes Why??
2019-08-22 06:22:42 PM daniellesitzer not everyone likes the some type, so we have the budget to schedule weekly
2019-08-22 06:22:48 PM cassandracl12 Essential that it isn't just on TV but live in person to interact reminsce and to provide a social atmosphere
2019-08-22 06:23:00 PM virginiamooney Because the residents love country and gospel music and we are blessed with great volunteers.
2019-08-22 06:23:03 PM daniellesitzer same*
2019-08-22 06:23:05 PM kathyhughes But the normal senior does not go to entertainment once a week...neither do "regular" people when was the last time you were at a concert?
2019-08-22 06:23:06 PM kimranck Our residents love music. We always have a big crowd.
2019-08-22 06:23:09 PM dianep Our residents set the schedule for who they want and how often.
2019-08-22 06:23:29 PM kimranck If it was free I would go every week.
2019-08-22 06:23:32 PM cassandracl12 A chance for residents to ask questions or sing a long with people other thn their nurses, aids, and activity staff
2019-08-22 06:23:38 PM daniellesitzer That is a good idea dianep
2019-08-22 06:23:47 PM cassandracl12 Our corporate insists on entertainment at least once a week
2019-08-22 06:24:16 PM kathyhughes So you all have enough money for it...and when does it stop being "special"
2019-08-22 06:24:29 PM jpitrone Because residents deserve to see live entertainment. Our Coordinator plays the piano every other week and and that kind of fills in the holes. Also having entertainment once a week kicks the weekend off. Music is very good for residents quality of life. Also music can always change with the decade
2019-08-22 06:24:29 PM cassandracl12 That's the hard part
2019-08-22 06:24:45 PM cassandracl12 I ask the entertainers to switch up the songs or to be more interactive
2019-08-22 06:24:56 PM cassandracl12 But we also get special shows like this month we had Elvis during Elvis week
2019-08-22 06:25:03 PM kathyhughes And its an easy activity??!!
2019-08-22 06:25:07 PM cassandracl12 and we will have the local high school Jazz band come and perform
2019-08-22 06:25:09 PM dianep Residents interview entertainers and decide if they like their music before setting up scheduled times. During the holidays we may have more come in per resident request.
2019-08-22 06:25:31 PM virginiamooney Yes, it can be
2019-08-22 06:25:38 PM wilmaholt left the chat room
2019-08-22 06:25:59 PM kathyhughes left the chat room
2019-08-22 06:26:10 PM kathyhughes enter the chat room
2019-08-22 06:26:10 PM jpitrone no hosting entertainment is tons of work!!!
2019-08-22 06:26:14 PM daniellesitzer We have to take our people off one floor and take them up the elevator to another floor. It isnt that easy for us. A lot of running around to make sure I can get everyone there
2019-08-22 06:26:21 PM cassandracl12 Not always if you;re alone and can't gather enough and staff doesn't help
2019-08-22 06:26:27 PM kathyhughes Thanks for being honest Virginia
2019-08-22 06:26:28 PM kimranck I spend a lot of time researching new entertainers and trying to keep a diverse schedule and within budget. Then the task of getting the new entertainers set up for billing. It is a lot of behind the scenes work.
2019-08-22 06:26:43 PM cassandracl12 or like the school jazz band said 10 students well 25 showed up with their own stands so we had to move and improvise the location
2019-08-22 06:26:45 PM jpitrone We don't sit down, constantly dancing and engaging with the residents, serving snacks
2019-08-22 06:26:54 PM dianep This is all part of our Montessori training, the residents make the activity schedule
2019-08-22 06:27:37 PM kathyhughes Well I was just wondering why everyone had weekly entertainment but not the funds for other activities
2019-08-22 06:28:14 PM cassandracl12 other activities like..
2019-08-22 06:28:30 PM cassandracl12 We had a large petting zoo come in it was great and nearly the whole building came out
2019-08-22 06:28:50 PM kimranck We are fortunate and have a nice budget. If I spend more money in another area I just cut out an entertainer. We are having a seafood dinner next week so I cut out the entertainment.
2019-08-22 06:28:51 PM cassandracl12 we had horticulture class come in and residents got to keep their beautiful bouquets
2019-08-22 06:29:00 PM cassandracl12 we also hada progessional artist come and teach a class
2019-08-22 06:29:20 PM kathyhughes Such as better Bingo prizes the ability to rent equipment, to take residents on more outings, to provide the residents art supplies, the ability to purchase a projector and more laptops
2019-08-22 06:29:50 PM virginiamooney We don't pay for our entertainment. Thats exactly what we do Kathy.
2019-08-22 06:29:52 PM kathyhughes The ability to supply residents with Ipods and headsets
2019-08-22 06:29:53 PM cassandracl12 we have 500 for supplies and 700 for entertainment
2019-08-22 06:29:56 PM jpitrone We have a committe built into our communitiy from the independent residents whom gives us a nice sum
2019-08-22 06:30:40 PM kathyhughes thats great, the conversation on Facebook was that they "had" to have entertainment and that cut into their budget
2019-08-22 06:30:46 PM kimranck I agree I would rather spend money on those items. When I want to spend money in another area we will do karaoke instead of paying for an entertainer. The residents still have a great time.
2019-08-22 06:30:48 PM kathyhughes so I was just wondering
2019-08-22 06:31:21 PM virginiamooney My residents go out fishing, gospel concerts, eating out, picnics, plays and museums.
2019-08-22 06:31:26 PM kathyhughes When asked the person stated that is what she was told to do....which just didn't sit well with me
2019-08-22 06:32:01 PM cassandracl12 Almost sounds like its easier to prop them in front of a singer just like a tv
2019-08-22 06:32:05 PM jpitrone i agree
2019-08-22 06:32:16 PM virginiamooney agreed
2019-08-22 06:32:18 PM cassandracl12 not good. They need a holistic approach to activities
2019-08-22 06:32:24 PM kathyhughes that is what I am thinking
2019-08-22 06:32:52 PM kathyhughes I had a great budget but it took years to accomplish it and I still fundraised for activities
2019-08-22 06:33:28 PM kathyhughes I had 3 old med carts full of supplies for crafts, sensory and a puzzle cart that we kept adding to
2019-08-22 06:33:40 PM jpitrone speaking of hollistic ... we just hosted a support peer group about Hollistic medicine.. one of our independent residents do it
2019-08-22 06:34:06 PM virginiamooney I need to start fundraising. Can never have too much of a fun fund.

2019-08-22 06:34:51 PM daniellesitzer I feel like doing activities more engaging and purposeful are better than sitting them in front of entertainment. Today we did karaoke and the residents enjoyed it much! Other staff came in and was interacting with the residents
