2019-12-10 06:04:46 PM valeriepeace How is everyone doing so far on the course?
2019-12-10 06:05:59 PM kavitajc A lot of materials to read but all is good
2019-12-10 06:06:44 PM valeriepeace I am currently working as an activity director and things are really busy at work. Sometimes it's hard to manage homework and work work
2019-12-10 06:08:42 PM kavitajc Yes,it is a lot of work! Even as an activity aide,i can imagine as a Director especially holiday season.
2019-12-10 06:10:02 PM valeriepeace Do you have any questions that maybe I can help you with? Can you tell me as an Aide, what can I do as a Director, to show more support to my activity assistants?
2019-12-10 06:12:54 PM kavitajc How many programs do your aides do per day? How is time management with them? Do they do paperwork in terms of quarterlies,annuals and MDS's?
2019-12-10 06:14:24 PM valeriepeace They are responsible for doing 2 activities per day. The do not do quarterlies, annuals or MDS. I do those because I have to do the care plans and it gives me a better feel for the residents. The do help me document. They do have a substantial amount of 1:1's.
2019-12-10 06:15:23 PM kavitajc What kind of facility do you work in?
2019-12-10 06:16:39 PM kavitajc OMG! we do 4-5 programs a day plus paperwork
2019-12-10 06:19:02 PM kavitajc How many staff do you have in your department and what is your facility capacity?
2019-12-10 06:19:41 PM valeriepeace I work in a facility that has long term and short term care. We have a rehab facility. There is a lot of therapy going on. I have around 70 residents. I have 2 full time assistants.
2019-12-10 06:22:44 PM kavitajc I also work in a facility that has short term , rehab and long term care.
2019-12-10 06:22:57 PM spankylee99 enter the chat room
2019-12-10 06:24:47 PM valeriepeace There is no way our facility could do that many programs. To be honest, I have a hard time getting them there by 10:30. AFter that they break for lunch and we regrroup at 2:30. We sometimes do offer a 3rd activity, but then its close to their dinner. I feel blessed. It runs incredibly smooth.
2019-12-10 06:25:46 PM spankylee99 left the chat room
2019-12-10 06:28:04 PM kavitajc As a director thank you for giving them the time to do 1-1 . I think that is very important to this population. As a director is nice to listen to your aides and try new programs.

2019-12-10 06:45:32 PM kathyhughes The number of hours on the Practicum Sign off sheets is the total amount of time it took you to complete the assignments. Please look at the email I sent today about the Practicum Assignments and the time

2019-12-10 06:47:26 PM kathyhughes I am going to post it here. but the system will boot me off I will be right back
2019-12-10 06:47:31 PM kathyhughes To take credit for the time spent on the Practicum Assignments consider the following:1. The time it took you to research the topic2. The time it took to do the assignment3. The time it took to write up the assignment4. The time it took to discuss the assignment with your Practicum Supervisor5. The time it took to post it in the Practicum

2019-12-10 07:08:40 PM michelep Greetings from the frozen tundra, i'm Michele, i've been working in LTC for four years as a Social Service Designee.
2019-12-10 07:08:41 PM serinamcwha In our community, we have more female residents than men. A big challenge is finding an activity that our male residents will want to participate in.
2019-12-10 07:09:02 PM torijarrett Yes serina! I second that one
2019-12-10 07:09:04 PM rhondakapcsos have to agree nails lol
2019-12-10 07:09:10 PM angelalgreathouse Right now my most challenging activity is movement therapy. no one want to participate. all achy from the weather change

2019-12-10 07:09:27 PM gayle78 Most challenging are the educational activities.A majority of our residents find them boring so reinventing them over and over is not my strong suit.
2019-12-10 07:09:27 PM rhondakapcsos painting nails
2019-12-10 07:09:30 PM dmkovach goes to new buliding

2019-12-10 07:10:22 PM torijarrett Valerie**
2019-12-10 07:10:23 PM serinamcwha I like poker night! But, in the Lutheran Home... probably not welcomed too much! LOL! No disrespect to my Lutheran friends...
2019-12-10 07:10:25 PM jessicabaucom Serina what about during a gentleman club
2019-12-10 07:10:31 PM michelep My most challenging activity is 1:1 with a resident who asks the same questions over and over...she can't stay focused on ANYthing for more than 2 minutes :(
2019-12-10 07:10:35 PM valeriepeace We just had our Women's Christmas Tea Party. We had a great turn out! We added several classy touches to make it special.
2019-12-10 07:10:35 PM alexiew they let you trim the residents nails?
2019-12-10 07:10:35 PM rachel1980 I have to agree...nails and hair care. I am not much into doing those for other people. I am great at brusing my own hair but other then putting it into a ponytail I do very little to it. Not much of a girlie girl
2019-12-10 07:10:37 PM rachel1980 lol
2019-12-10 07:10:55 PM tiffym73 M the hardest thing for me is arts and crafts
