2019-09-24 06:50:43 PM stephaniet our angel tree is as close to secret santa as we get but over christmas our administrator dresses up as santa to deliver the presents
2019-09-24 06:50:55 PM aehutchins Residents would draw another residents name from a basket. Then they are in charge of creating a gift or card for their secret santa each week.
2019-09-24 06:51:00 PM tammiehall25 staff are the secret santas.....we could each pick a resident and make something special for their room to remind them of the holidays or just spend some time with them listening to music

2019-09-24 06:51:25 PM merrellsherry we place a tree in the lobby and family, staff and guests pick " angels " with room numbers. Then we have santa come in on christmas eve and give out the gifts at our holiday party

2019-09-26 06:08:23 PM pattym that is what my plan is so good Im on the right page...thanks Kathy
2019-09-26 06:08:26 PM sarahgremminger I would also not do the meeting alone so it doesn't become a she said they said type deal
2019-09-26 06:08:42 PM amandas yes have hr in there with you if you think you need them
2019-09-26 06:08:48 PM pattym talked to a volunteer behind my back and it got back to me, may have to get rid of volunteer too
2019-09-26 06:08:49 PM kristen17 I did a first counseling with my employee but she continues to talk about me to one other employee and other staff
2019-09-26 06:08:49 PM kathyhughes You need to write up exactly what you heard...if it is second hand then it would not count you have to hear it
2019-09-26 06:09:31 PM kathyhughes Well yes Sarah you are correct there should be the HR person who can facilitate the conversation
2019-09-26 06:09:33 PM pattym exactly...I didn't hear it but it was brought back staff
2019-09-26 06:09:51 PM kathyhughes Well hearsay does not count...you actually have to hear it
2019-09-26 06:09:54 PM sarahgremminger I have had some experience with that and learned the hard way
2019-09-26 06:09:59 PM pattym I have management support and they are aware its just frustrating
2019-09-26 06:10:04 PM tiffany85 Maybe do an employee evlauation form with her?
2019-09-26 06:10:05 PM kathyhughes won't work in the comp hearing
2019-09-26 06:10:31 PM kathyhughes Right Tiffany and you have to concentrate on actual things that she does
2019-09-26 06:10:33 PM pattym Im thinking that tiffany definetely a chat tomorrow
2019-09-26 06:11:02 PM kathyhughes left the chat room
2019-09-26 06:11:13 PM kathyhughes enter the chat room
2019-09-26 06:11:20 PM pattym right not changing date on skilled unit reality board on her cellphone in resident areas totally disrepectful
2019-09-26 06:11:25 PM kathyhughes You have to write up the conversations
2019-09-26 06:11:26 PM myersc does your facility have a policy about gossip? our facility does and there was a problem with housekeeping staff so they had a sit down meeting with a copy of the policy
2019-09-26 06:11:34 PM kristen17 I always keep a written document when i have issues with any employee
2019-09-26 06:11:43 PM pattym no policy myer
2019-09-26 06:11:58 PM pattym yes I do too kristen so I have some on her
2019-09-26 06:12:03 PM kathyhughes Also you have to look at the policies....correct Myser
2019-09-26 06:12:35 PM kathyhughes You have to remember that the grapevine in your facilites start in the parking lot!
2019-09-26 06:12:42 PM kathyhughes And go home with people!
2019-09-26 06:12:49 PM pattym I have a file where I write and put it in her file and it sort of helps relieve the stress
2019-09-26 06:12:54 PM amandas have you had a conversation with her about cell phone use on the floor?
2019-09-26 06:13:09 PM pattym yes amandas
2019-09-26 06:13:12 PM tiffany85 You could try giving her clear goals (almost delegating some tasks) to have something to continue to monitor
2019-09-26 06:13:20 PM suzannehewitt66 yeah parking lot then it continues all night texting everyone else
2019-09-26 06:13:23 PM kathyhughes She should have signed off on the policy
2019-09-26 06:13:29 PM amandas then maybe you do need to write her up with hr present..
2019-09-26 06:13:30 PM pattym exactly tiffany
2019-09-26 06:13:52 PM pattym she won't sign thinngs she is a very smart cookie, disrespectful
2019-09-26 06:14:14 PM amandas she doesnt need to sign them...
2019-09-26 06:14:19 PM kristen17 Anytime i have a conversation with my one employee I have to have HR present becasue she thinks that anytime I correct her or try to help her with something that I am targeting her
2019-09-26 06:14:23 PM kathyhughes We have to take the time to do this...if you have enough documentation then you just need to make sure that all is consistant and give it to the ADM or HR person
2019-09-26 06:14:24 PM pattym dosomething for me to consider though Kathy a new policy
2019-09-26 06:14:42 PM sarahgremminger paper trail is everything
2019-09-26 06:14:48 PM pattym I do Kathy she has everything
2019-09-26 06:15:05 PM kathyhughes You are Kristen and the reason you are "targeting" her it is because she is firing herself
2019-09-26 06:15:05 PM pattym this one too kristen, I actually have two
2019-09-26 06:15:15 PM kathyhughes No one gets fired...they fire themselves
2019-09-26 06:15:26 PM tiffany85 So true Kathy!
2019-09-26 06:15:34 PM virginiamooney very true
2019-09-26 06:15:35 PM suzannehewitt66 i like that statement
2019-09-26 06:15:38 PM pattym THANK YOU Kathy!!!!
2019-09-26 06:15:40 PM kyoung documentation is key. I have a huge file on another manager but sadly HR has done nothing about her.
2019-09-26 06:15:59 PM amandas we have so many oppertunities not to get fired here its rediculios... education, 3 write ups for the same issue and then the 4th one is termination...
2019-09-26 06:16:06 PM myersc sometimes it takes months!! ...at least where I work
2019-09-26 06:16:06 PM pattym AMEN Kathy...see there is a reason I am here
2019-09-26 06:16:08 PM kristen17 that is so true kathy. The conversation i had to have with her was about her flirting with anoter staff memeber
2019-09-26 06:16:40 PM kathyhughes I hate those conversations Kristen! that and the hygiene conversations!
2019-09-26 06:16:53 PM sarahgremminger those are the worst
2019-09-26 06:16:59 PM pattym Yes...me too
2019-09-26 06:17:02 PM kathyhughes I know
2019-09-26 06:17:10 PM tiffany85 Looking ahead to veteran's day... anyone have plans yet?
2019-09-26 06:17:16 PM kathyhughes and no one will do a workshop on how to have those
2019-09-26 06:17:23 PM pattym oh God had those too,,,I could tell you stories OMG
2019-09-26 06:17:34 PM amandas we are doing a pinning...
2019-09-26 06:17:34 PM kathyhughes OK...Veterans Day celebrations! Ideas
2019-09-26 06:17:37 PM kristen17 they are the worst adn my employee is only about three years younger than me and thinks that myself and others are targeting her becasue she is young when really all i am trying to do is help her
2019-09-26 06:17:45 PM kyoung same amanda - it is so hard to get fired here. we have verbal educatiuon, a documented coaching, then verbal warning, 3 write ups and then they might discuss termination
2019-09-26 06:18:29 PM pattym Always do a Veteran's celebration ceremony with local dignataries, podcast on radio stations, families invited, certificates given, music, lunch
2019-09-26 06:18:32 PM julielynnmincek we have some of our staff veterans coming in with things they treasure to do a cool show & tell veterans day version
2019-09-26 06:18:34 PM amandas that is so crazy to me. if you cant come to work to do your job for our residents then you shouldnt be here...
2019-09-26 06:18:35 PM kathyhughes OK...Veterans Day!!!
2019-09-26 06:18:44 PM sarahgremminger We have a local agency come into our center and do a ceremony at least thats what i'm told. I will be looking into it and coordinating it
2019-09-26 06:18:46 PM kristen17 We did a big Veterans Ceremony a few months back but we are going to have our residents write cards to active military
2019-09-26 06:18:52 PM tiffany85 I usually have a surf and turf lunch for the veterans followed by a special program by the Am. Legion. Just wanted to try something new this year
2019-09-26 06:19:17 PM pattym Our Local VFW comes in and I have an army Vaerteran that does a beautifull service
2019-09-26 06:19:18 PM kyoung We have a tribute event with speakers and dancers, then we share stories from the veterans and pass out certificates for their service
2019-09-26 06:19:21 PM kristen17 Our ceremony honored all our Vets in the building and it was put on my the one hospice compnay in our facility
2019-09-26 06:19:55 PM virginiamooney We have a VFW come in and do a program
2019-09-26 06:20:06 PM suzannehewitt66 our hospice company is doing ours this year so not sure what all is involved
2019-09-26 06:20:06 PM pattym OMG my spelling tonight is awful excuse me
2019-09-26 06:20:12 PM kathyhughes First there are area restaurants who give free meals and other perks to Vets on that day
2019-09-26 06:20:29 PM amandas our hospice company is coming out to do something for all of our vets and were making blankets for hospice vets.
2019-09-26 06:20:34 PM kathyhughes I had a student call and she was able to pick up meals for her Vets for free
2019-09-26 06:20:38 PM pattym MMMM may have to research that Kathy your right
2019-09-26 06:20:54 PM myersc my mom is a teacher that takes 8th graders to washington DC every year...a couple of her past students are putting a video together of the monuments and such for the veterans...itll be nice for those that cannot do the honor flight
2019-09-26 06:20:58 PM sarahgremminger I will have to look into that kathy thats a great idea
2019-09-26 06:21:01 PM kristen17 oh wow i will have to look into that. we do not have many vets in my building
2019-09-26 06:21:07 PM pattym I was just going to say that wonder if they would deliver or have someone pick up from our community
2019-09-26 06:21:08 PM kathyhughes We had a large world map...we would place the pictures of the Vets around the edge and a string to where they served
2019-09-26 06:21:31 PM suzannehewitt66 thats a cool idea
2019-09-26 06:21:34 PM pattym I have alot of Veterans so proud and blessed
2019-09-26 06:21:51 PM virginiamooney I love that idea Kathy
2019-09-26 06:21:54 PM kathyhughes We also had displays of all the Vets...residents and staff
2019-09-26 06:21:55 PM tiffany85 Kathy - was the map shared with all residents or just during the veterans program?
2019-09-26 06:21:58 PM myersc and we do a big breakfast for our resident vets and for community veterans
2019-09-26 06:22:04 PM pattym Where did you get your mapKathy
2019-09-26 06:22:31 PM kathyhughes It was posted in the Lobby...we found it at a teachers store but I would bet that Amazon has it
2019-09-26 06:22:42 PM kristen17 One faclity by me has a whole veterans wall in their main lobby and another facility just had a big purple heart ceremony too
2019-09-26 06:22:50 PM pattym not on Amazon I think we tried
2019-09-26 06:23:13 PM pattym we have a display wall with their pictures and a flag its nice
2019-09-26 06:23:28 PM sarahgremminger I bought a huge american flag made out of wood and hung members and staff pics around the flag. It was a huge success
2019-09-26 06:23:42 PM pattym that sounds nice sarah
2019-09-26 06:24:03 PM amandas Patty i like the wall idea
2019-09-26 06:24:10 PM kathyhughes We also sent cards to the VA from the residents
2019-09-26 06:24:18 PM kathyhughes but we had a lot of card makers!
2019-09-26 06:24:21 PM sarahgremminger its hanging right in the main room and when we get a new member who is a veteran we add their picture to it
