2020-01-14 06:54:26 PM gayle78 enter the chat room
2020-01-14 06:54:37 PM spankylee99 Residents that no matter what they will refuse to participate or leave their room
2020-01-14 06:54:37 PM cchase some facilities do have attendance programs as part of the overall system
2020-01-14 06:54:38 PM serinamcwha Lauren - I would recommend getting volunteers to walk with them - need to figure out why they are exit seeking
2020-01-14 06:54:46 PM tiffanyd you can do friendly one on one visits one time a month like we do
2020-01-14 06:54:59 PM cchase have you looked at the resident records?
2020-01-14 06:55:14 PM cchase good suggestions serina
2020-01-14 06:55:26 PM amanda enter the chat room
2020-01-14 06:55:26 PM serinamcwha thank you!
2020-01-14 06:55:38 PM cchase your resident is entitled to prefer rm time
2020-01-14 06:55:38 PM mariamunoz I agree with one on ones..there is always something they enjoy, puzzles in their room, or someone to read to them...
2020-01-14 06:55:39 PM laurenjb My community does not have volunteers currently, i am working on bringing some in but my community has a lot of hoops to jump through which makes it harder
2020-01-14 06:55:58 PM mfaulkner left the chat room
2020-01-14 06:56:03 PM cchase what can you give him/her to do in the rm that is interest based?
2020-01-14 06:56:07 PM serinamcwha if there is something they are trying to get to, could be an idea for providing an activity
2020-01-14 06:56:07 PM mfaulkner enter the chat room
2020-01-14 06:56:12 PM kavitajc Yes i agree with the volunteer what about high school students
2020-01-14 06:56:18 PM spankylee99 We have tried 1-1 room visit they will like it for a little while but then they just prefer to be left alone.
2020-01-14 06:56:19 PM mariamunoz Do they like animals? We have small dogs that come and visit and residents can give them treats etc.
2020-01-14 06:56:31 PM gayle78 Yes.MEPAP1.
2020-01-14 06:56:37 PM mfaulkner how do i see the topic discussion?
2020-01-14 06:56:42 PM amanda left the chat room
2020-01-14 06:56:45 PM laurenjb I have a lady that never wants to do activites until she sees a bunch of others doing it. I make sure the activity is up and running and then i get her to come watch. She usually adds herself after about 5 mins
2020-01-14 06:56:46 PM cchase can you speak to nursing and ask if depression may be the issue?

2020-01-14 06:57:30 PM mfaulkner enter the chat room
2020-01-14 06:57:37 PM kavitajc What about making a friend introduce to someone who likes the same things
2020-01-14 06:57:47 PM cchase a great way to get interest is to find two residents that are happy to attend events and ask them to be ambassadors to invite others to attend
2020-01-14 06:57:49 PM laurenjb I forgot about high school kids! they should be back starting in the next few weeks! Thank You!
2020-01-14 06:57:58 PM mariamunoz You could try music, we have ipods that we load the residents favorite music to it and it goes with them to their room.

2020-01-14 06:58:00 PM spankylee99 It is a mood concern. We have invited the psychologist to visit with these residents
2020-01-14 06:58:05 PM cchase when one resident sees the fun - they may chime in
2020-01-14 06:58:06 PM pennysloan enter the chat room
2020-01-14 06:58:08 PM tiffanyd we bring around a cart with coffee and hot chocolate with word searches, books , mag., puzzle , ect. and sit with them and talk. see if you can leave one of those thing behind with them. this is what we do
2020-01-14 06:58:23 PM amanda enter the chat room
2020-01-14 06:58:33 PM serinamcwha i like the resident ambassadors. Resident Council members could do this
2020-01-14 06:58:33 PM gayle78 Exit seekers....Good question.We have these busy boards on the walls with locks and sometimes we give them work related activities.Stuffing envelopes,snapping bubble wrap,packaging boxes.That seems to work most of the time.i think every facility has at least 1 that will never settle
2020-01-14 06:58:45 PM cchase ok - so it sounds like you are on to something that may help with the psychologist
2020-01-14 06:58:49 PM kavitajc Sometimes family members come back and volunteer

2020-01-14 06:59:09 PM cchase yes - resident council members make great ambassadors
2020-01-14 06:59:21 PM cchase they love inviting others
2020-01-14 06:59:25 PM mfaulkner Hello
2020-01-14 06:59:28 PM serinamcwha unfortunately some times you have to assess if they are in the appropriate environment for safety issues - for another day I know!

2020-01-14 07:00:56 PM serinamcwha I had an administrator I worked for who would put black rugs on the floor of the door where the resident would try to exit seek - and because they had no depth perception, the resident saw just a black hole on the floor, so would not try to step over it - redirectred his walking path away from the exit
2020-01-14 07:00:57 PM splush2402 Hello everyone
2020-01-14 07:01:04 PM spassa to get a new president for resident councel do we just have to have people vote on it

2020-01-14 07:01:19 PM tiffanyd yes vote
2020-01-14 07:01:20 PM cchase residenet mbassador is a position I have created in the past to invite shy newbies to join the fun

2020-01-14 07:01:54 PM cchase hello lauren
2020-01-14 07:01:54 PM czuniga our wanderers all wear alarms
2020-01-14 07:02:00 PM serinamcwha lauren - you're right! It only worked for that one guy. I tried it with another resident, trying to keep her out of another room and it didn't work!
2020-01-14 07:02:03 PM mfaulkner Is this the Live chat @8 ?
2020-01-14 07:02:05 PM mariamunoz serinamcwha thats a great idea!
2020-01-14 07:02:17 PM cchase if they wander safely - it's ok for the most part
2020-01-14 07:02:24 PM serinamcwha i agree cchase!

2020-01-14 07:02:41 PM kavitajc We have a wander gaurd thats beeps on the elevator and front desk but they are able to walk around on their unit
2020-01-14 07:02:53 PM cchase walking about helps those with anxious feelings
2020-01-14 07:02:53 PM serinamcwha Moving them to a secure environment where they can wander safely
2020-01-14 07:03:06 PM pennysloan We have a resident who likes to take charge to the point where people leave the activity. Any ideas
2020-01-14 07:03:06 PM mfaulkner Ok thank you ..finally
2020-01-14 07:03:07 PM spankylee99 A resident Ambassador is also known as the resident advocate, in our facility our department heads are assigned a group of residents to monitor, we have to visit with them every day to find out if they are okay and listen and resolve any concerns they may have
2020-01-14 07:03:19 PM leiafzepp enter the chat room
2020-01-14 07:03:20 PM cchase yup - walking safely is good (y)
2020-01-14 07:03:20 PM czuniga wander gaurd here as well
2020-01-14 07:03:29 PM leiafzepp hello
2020-01-14 07:03:34 PM amanda we have them as well
2020-01-14 07:03:43 PM tiffanyd we do not
2020-01-14 07:03:44 PM adyson87 Does anyone know how Kathy is doing...?
2020-01-14 07:03:47 PM cchase a resident advocate is a great person to have
2020-01-14 07:03:53 PM jwhit we like to have more of a buddy system. having someomoe who has a similar interest paired up.
2020-01-14 07:04:03 PM czuniga is it usually a resident?
2020-01-14 07:04:05 PM cchase from what I have heard Kathy is on the mend- ty for asking
2020-01-14 07:04:08 PM torijarrett I was wondering too
2020-01-14 07:04:09 PM laurenjb We are a single story seperate community so all we have is gate codes....
2020-01-14 07:04:31 PM tiffanyd we have door codes
2020-01-14 07:04:35 PM cchase it is best if it is a resident (in my opinion) because others residents see them as equals
2020-01-14 07:04:38 PM spassa thanks cchase
2020-01-14 07:04:43 PM mfaulkner We have one resident that is like a President of the group
2020-01-14 07:04:46 PM cchase they are more open to the invite
2020-01-14 07:04:51 PM gayle78 Door codes as well
2020-01-14 07:04:54 PM amanda we have door codes too
2020-01-14 07:04:56 PM adyson87 Thank you....i hope she gets better! This weather has been something else...
2020-01-14 07:04:59 PM czuniga makes sinse
2020-01-14 07:05:02 PM serinamcwha peer relationships
2020-01-14 07:05:05 PM tanya1 We do too
2020-01-14 07:05:15 PM splush2402 We have a lady who was so negative and complained about EVERYTHING. We made her ambassador of our charitable events and she is a TOTALLY different person now.
2020-01-14 07:05:16 PM cchase yes - peer relationship ---
2020-01-14 07:05:16 PM spankylee99 The advocate is a good thing it helps to build customer service, if we can resolve patient concerns before they discharge home they will be more inclined to give good reviews
2020-01-14 07:05:33 PM torijarrett Our residnent president doesn't get involved anymore and her mindset is off now...suggestions?
2020-01-14 07:05:36 PM kavitajc door code also, peers relationship sound well
2020-01-14 07:05:43 PM admin left the chat room
2020-01-14 07:05:47 PM adyson87 We use the buddy system here in my community also
2020-01-14 07:05:48 PM leiafzepp having a unit that is circular instead of dead ending into a door helps alot with our wondering residents.
2020-01-14 07:05:48 PM cchase yes - an advocate tends to be someone that is there to support the resident or pt.
2020-01-14 07:05:54 PM emilyac For the MEPAP 1 course, are we supposed to chat in here or the practicum chat? Sorry I don't know what I'm doing
2020-01-14 07:05:58 PM cchase particularly if they is a conflict
2020-01-14 07:06:08 PM splush2402 She just needed a purpose and to feel useful. She has turned into one of the most helpful/positive residents we have
2020-01-14 07:06:14 PM laurenjb In here!
2020-01-14 07:06:21 PM spassa Torijarrett thats what i am doing in search of new resident council president...

2020-01-14 07:10:35 PM cchase how are you all feeling about being in MEPAP1?
2020-01-14 07:10:38 PM pennysloan Our Resident Council present likes to sit in the hall and make fun of other residents. Do I get Social Servies involved
2020-01-14 07:10:50 PM serinamcwha I love it! It has been very helpful!
2020-01-14 07:10:51 PM laurenjb I think im going to buy myself coffee everyday this week :)
2020-01-14 07:10:52 PM czuniga thats sad
2020-01-14 07:10:53 PM spassa I thought it was a week other departments recognized us
2020-01-14 07:10:53 PM emilyac I'm excited to take the course!
2020-01-14 07:10:53 PM adyson87 also something you can do....We offer Coffee and Conversation with all department heads. this is a good way to bring staff and residents togather...to help keep problems down.
2020-01-14 07:10:54 PM torijarrett It's a bit overwhelming for me to stay on top of
2020-01-14 07:10:57 PM tiffanyd it has been an eye opener

2020-01-14 07:11:24 PM czuniga overwhelmed
2020-01-14 07:11:25 PM serinamcwha we do Coffee with the CEO but with the departments is a great idea!
2020-01-14 07:11:31 PM cchase geesh - making fun of anyone is not cool - yis it possible that they need more topics to focus on instead of that
2020-01-14 07:11:34 PM torijarrett I've learned a lot as well...just a lot of reading
2020-01-14 07:11:49 PM laurenjb Holy cow ALOT of reading!
2020-01-14 07:11:53 PM czuniga i have learned alot also

2020-01-14 07:13:18 PM jwhit I have been learning alot as well. I feel like I am always missing something thats due. lol
2020-01-14 07:13:48 PM serinamcwha I have some extra credit I have to do to make up for a missing assignment as well... :(
2020-01-14 07:14:13 PM cchase hey jwhit - kathy always says ::: don't overthink it - you will do just fine
2020-01-14 07:14:29 PM splush2402 So- On the topic of Resident Council President.... I thought we were required to have one. Residents should have a place to express their concerns without staff members being present
2020-01-14 07:14:30 PM amanda Thats what I do all the time
2020-01-14 07:14:35 PM serinamcwha so my apologies for missing this, but someone mentioned earlier about Kathy... will she be back?
2020-01-14 07:14:39 PM tiffanyd just got to really keep up with it
2020-01-14 07:14:47 PM tanya1 Ive been doing all 3 jobs since late oct. im feeling blessed tomorrow im
2020-01-14 07:14:49 PM cchase try to take what you have learned and try it out at work - I find that is the best way to learn
2020-01-14 07:14:54 PM pennysloan Whe only have two resident's attend Resident Council.
2020-01-14 07:14:54 PM spassa I was amazed how much i have learned in mepap 1 the first half ... its been alot of info at a fast rate
2020-01-14 07:14:58 PM tanya1 Ill have help
2020-01-14 07:15:12 PM serinamcwha congrats Tanya!
2020-01-14 07:15:13 PM cchase I responded that Kathy is on the mend - when someone asked about her
2020-01-14 07:15:20 PM serinamcwha ok! thanks cchase!
2020-01-14 07:15:26 PM laurenjb Yay Tanya!
2020-01-14 07:15:39 PM laurenjb Kinda jelaous :)
2020-01-14 07:15:41 PM spankylee99 The classes have made me more aware of what the state surverys look for regarding the documentation in the care plan and the MDS.
2020-01-14 07:15:43 PM jwhit thank you. I always over think lol. This is a new change in career for me.
2020-01-14 07:15:48 PM pennysloan Can a Resident Council President be president for more than2 years
2020-01-14 07:16:01 PM cchase two residents attending resident council is better than no residents. lol
2020-01-14 07:16:02 PM sluyterbbeka We make it very clear that the only staff members allowed in THEIR meeting are ones they have personally invitied. Not even the activities staff are allowed in the meeting unless invited. We always are but still lol
2020-01-14 07:16:05 PM kavitajc Yes they vote
2020-01-14 07:16:23 PM splush2402 After 2 years, it can be the same person, but there needs to be another election.
2020-01-14 07:16:29 PM spankylee99 It is important to provide activities for the residents based on the initial intake assesmnet
2020-01-14 07:16:35 PM laurenjb Does memory care need a resident council president?
2020-01-14 07:16:36 PM tanya1 i know
2020-01-14 07:16:36 PM srolle enter the chat room
2020-01-14 07:16:39 PM cchase yes - good to know that you are learning about surveys - so important
2020-01-14 07:16:45 PM splush2402 So it can be the same person if everyone votes on it.
2020-01-14 07:17:05 PM adyson87 Our president has been in pllace for 3yrs
2020-01-14 07:17:10 PM tiffanyd i dont see why not
2020-01-14 07:17:18 PM spassa I am in a federal survey ....many years of nursing and first federal survey
2020-01-14 07:17:22 PM adyson87 resodent like how she rund council meetings.
2020-01-14 07:17:24 PM torijarrett I don't even know how long we've had ours!
2020-01-14 07:17:26 PM czuniga so new elections every two years
2020-01-14 07:17:29 PM cchase I have encourage membership in council for memory care but admit that I also invite families - it is a mind opening meeting for them
2020-01-14 07:17:36 PM spankylee99 If that is not being done state surveryors will give the facility and the activities departmemt an F-Tag
2020-01-14 07:17:52 PM kavitajc I enjoy learning how others do different programs like face Yoga
2020-01-14 07:18:02 PM cchase correct spanky - good going
2020-01-14 07:18:05 PM serinamcwha i agree cchase - i've invited families to participate in resident forums as well. they are the better advocates for the residents in memory care
2020-01-14 07:18:22 PM splush2402 We do not currently include Memory Care in Residnet Council, but I have wondered if it should be done for them too. Seems only fair
2020-01-14 07:18:23 PM laurenjb My resident sdont really even want a resident council. I just try to get them all together and then have an open discussion about what they want and feel, and how we can do better.

2020-01-14 07:18:31 PM cchase agreed serina (y)
2020-01-14 07:18:48 PM pennysloan All of our managers are making a different kinds of soup. We give out "goody" bags. Your residents are making thank you cards
2020-01-14 07:19:02 PM kavitajc We serve snacks and coffee at resident council
2020-01-14 07:19:13 PM serinamcwha food helps to get people to attend - i find!
2020-01-14 07:19:24 PM emilyac That's a good idea!
2020-01-14 07:19:26 PM laurenjb oh we love snacks!
