2019-10-29 06:34:39 PM lamearaj I WAS A CNA PRIOR TO ACTIVITIES ALSO
2019-10-29 06:34:55 PM sryan activities is such an esstial part of the resident quality of life. alot of people dont see it that way. widh they did
2019-10-29 06:34:58 PM angelalgreathouse Yes. we have a few in our facility
2019-10-29 06:35:01 PM buddyrmorvent left the chat room
2019-10-29 06:35:02 PM bpasdon I am always kind to my staff, even if they are not so kinds to me its ok. Most of our CNA's are 10 + years there. I am 4 years. I respect that and understand the burnout. I just try not to show frustration and again i pride myself in this.
2019-10-29 06:35:09 PM buddyrmorvent enter the chat room
2019-10-29 06:35:14 PM juliecormier I give some of the staff candy or snacks if I see them doing activities in our memory care facility on their own.
2019-10-29 06:35:15 PM badalyanlilit They are different, some of them prefer to dance, some to play, some to read etc so we espessially our AD he has a really kind and educated person he graduates a univercity of theater and activity managment and he is making a good program
2019-10-29 06:35:15 PM kathyhughes We have the responsiblity to educate staff on how to do activities
2019-10-29 06:35:24 PM bpasdon Yes well said
2019-10-29 06:35:42 PM bethaldrich5 A couple of our LNA's are picking up some extra activity hours a week now that I am in this clas actually. I went to my administrator at the begginning of the week asking for help. I already work 55 hours a week at the facility between full time activities and two LNA shifts a week. and have three kiddos at home, adding this class in left no time for the kiddos and I was getting burnt out. The administrator is letting me hire an LNA a few extra hours a week to do some of my school work at work now.
2019-10-29 06:36:10 PM kathyhughes That is great
2019-10-29 06:36:13 PM buddyrmorvent What is a good way to approach CNA's that dont consider activities in their scope?
2019-10-29 06:36:29 PM juliecormier Wow that is awesome!
2019-10-29 06:36:39 PM sryan what is a LNA?
2019-10-29 06:36:44 PM hollybv18 thats awesome!
2019-10-29 06:36:57 PM regina1 I was going to ask that too
2019-10-29 06:37:12 PM kathyhughes Educate them on activities...have an inservice about how to play cards with the residents or teach them a craft project that they can do for themselves and the residents...
2019-10-29 06:37:31 PM kathyhughes once they learn a new craft they can teach the residents the craft
2019-10-29 06:37:51 PM bpasdon buddy, i ask them for there opinion and what they think could be dont to better the program. Put the ball in there court. BE recepetive to there postivity or negativity and ask them for a solution if they shut id down. Offer to train them and help them.. thats what i do and it usualy goes well
2019-10-29 06:38:03 PM angelalgreathouse I get help from our hospitality aides for a few hours a week. it really is nice. one of them gets residents together and sings to them. it is amazing and the residents enjoy it
2019-10-29 06:38:05 PM bethaldrich5 An LNA is a licensed nursing assitant. In NH we have to take a state test to become "licensed" instead of certified as a CNA is. No difference other than taking the state exam.
2019-10-29 06:38:10 PM lamearaj AGREE
2019-10-29 06:38:27 PM regina1 ahh ty Beth
2019-10-29 06:38:38 PM hollybv18 oohhh
2019-10-29 06:38:39 PM kathyhughes ASk them if they have any hobbies that they enjoy and then have them do a "show and tell" with the participants
2019-10-29 06:38:57 PM juliecormier great idea
2019-10-29 06:39:05 PM badalyanlilit yes, the same with me 2 kids at school, but I am also volunteering at school, at my ADHC, also i have classes in college, and taking care my parents in law. So I try as you...good luck
2019-10-29 06:39:06 PM sryan oh ok we call it STNA state tested nurisng assistant
2019-10-29 06:39:22 PM kathyhughes also let them know that if they are involved in activities it might be another career that they can consider
2019-10-29 06:39:24 PM bpasdon my daughter says hi everyone lol... (She asked me to say that) Her name is Sienna ahaha
2019-10-29 06:39:35 PM badalyanlilit in our initial reassessment there is a question about hobbies
2019-10-29 06:39:42 PM kathyhughes Hello Sienna
2019-10-29 06:39:56 PM sryan hi sienna
2019-10-29 06:40:00 PM regina1 Hi Sienna :)
2019-10-29 06:40:08 PM bpasdon ty all
2019-10-29 06:40:12 PM kathyhughes Yes but you can ask your staff if they have hobbies that they are interested in showing the residents
2019-10-29 06:40:44 PM badalyanlilit the staff have hobby?
2019-10-29 06:40:45 PM bpasdon i like that kathy , never thought of doing that
2019-10-29 06:41:06 PM kathyhughes Yes the staff have hobbies that they can share with the residents
2019-10-29 06:41:16 PM buddyrmorvent TY
2019-10-29 06:41:24 PM lamearaj LOVE THAT, SIMPLE BUT A GREAT TWIST!! GREAT WAY TO GET THEM INVOLVED MORE
2019-10-29 06:41:25 PM bethaldrich5 That is a pretty fun idea. The residents love seeing things we are proud of and learning more about the staff. To a loy of them we are their family.
2019-10-29 06:41:26 PM angelalgreathouse i like the idea of a show and tell of hobbies for residents.
2019-10-29 06:41:37 PM bethaldrich5 *a lot
2019-10-29 06:41:55 PM sryan that a good idea
2019-10-29 06:42:05 PM kathyhughes You can have a show and tell once a week or once a month
2019-10-29 06:42:11 PM bpasdon thats cool

2019-10-29 06:54:20 PM bethaldrich5 We have a cool organization of AD's around our area that get together and do workshops every couple of months. Each facility takes a different month and hosts. All attending facilities bring at least one calendar to show their activities offered and during the work shop the facility hosting does a few activities to show others. They also do work shops focused on AD things such as care plans or interviews.
2019-10-29 06:54:24 PM regina1 oh my, but I bet its fun!
2019-10-29 06:54:25 PM juliecormier ?????? more

2019-10-29 06:54:44 PM bpasdon I do very good impressions of people, so i allow the clients to call out a singer or somehting of that nature and i try to sing or sound like them. Clients get a kick out of it

2019-11-05 06:45:44 PM deniseweiss At my nursing and rehab center we'll be having the Ladies Auxillary from the local American Legion visit our vets and present them with thank you gifts in the morning. Later on we'll honor everyone with an entertainment special. We have a singer who sings God Bless America and includes all verses which is very rare
2019-11-05 06:45:54 PM ruthknable Our facility does not have many veterans but we will honor those we have. Our sister facility always has a big breakfast and honor time. The one year, we had Rolling thunder come in and present awards to the veterans. it was really wonderful.
