2014-01-28 07:06:09 PM pawood i dont understand how they could only ask two dementia reside ts who refused and are care planned they dont like group activities and still get a hit that we didnt ask them to participate
2014-01-28 07:06:10 PM jeannette1978 I am not an activity director I do transportation bt I working my way there
2014-01-28 07:06:15 PM kathyhughes You have to take time and teach the staff, residents and families what you do
2014-01-28 07:06:16 PM elizabethwoosley I am a director. Brand new to the field. but alot of experience with adult programming. I'm learning as I go about charting! My staff is wonderful as is the senior staff. I feel very lucky

2014-01-28 07:06:39 PM janice13 I find that when we don't work together the less I can do to help the residents be happy, then the other staff notices
2014-01-28 07:06:48 PM kathyhughes good question Pam

2014-01-28 07:08:31 PM tonyap1 my boss is always willing to help me.
2014-01-28 07:08:32 PM duresaw It's funny how I ask them if they have done a plan of correction and no one seemed to know anything about it.

2014-01-28 07:16:29 PM duresaw as long as you have all your paperwork done and organize so if they need something you have proof
2014-01-28 07:16:30 PM joytuyh we can get some of the staff to help but not the director
2014-01-28 07:16:35 PM leland54 who is considered for a 1-1?
2014-01-28 07:16:44 PM duresaw bedridden
2014-01-28 07:16:52 PM bwesterman YOU WILL DO GREAT JACKIE
2014-01-28 07:16:53 PM tonyap1 right
2014-01-28 07:16:56 PM dguthrie27 residents who cant/wont come out of room
2014-01-28 07:17:01 PM ericac people who refuse group activities
2014-01-28 07:17:03 PM leland54 again my department doesn't understand that
2014-01-28 07:17:10 PM janice13 when I first got into this field, i found out that there where several tags for our department and thought no what, but it did teach me a lot about what to do better
2014-01-28 07:17:13 PM kathyhughes I saw one where the surveyor got out a calculator and according to all the times stated on the care plans the activities dept should have had over 140 activities a week
2014-01-28 07:17:17 PM fkirchgater i do 1-1 with residents who don't come out of their room due to psychological disorders too
2014-01-28 07:17:18 PM angiepena I love doing one on one activities
2014-01-28 07:17:25 PM jackie3 i have a great team with lots of support within the dept
2014-01-28 07:17:33 PM tonyap1 but we have the time to get to them all right
2014-01-28 07:17:38 PM leland54 I love just doing lil 1-1s
2014-01-28 07:17:40 PM angiepena a week? your kidding how is that possible
2014-01-28 07:17:42 PM jackie3 OMG
2014-01-28 07:17:50 PM janice13 140 that should be over a much longer period of time
2014-01-28 07:17:52 PM pawood they asked two dementia residents who were asked and encouraged to participate but are care planned because of their behaviors and are on 1 to 1 interventions for not attending group program and they stated they were not asked
2014-01-28 07:17:52 PM leland54 I remember you telling that to us kathy
2014-01-28 07:17:53 PM ericac That is not possible
2014-01-28 07:17:53 PM elizabethwoosley I've been at my facility for 2 months and as I said I'm brand new to this. We have a certifed AD on staff, so that part was fine. Our survey was 2 weeks ago and I was SO tense. All was great! No deficinies in activities or nursing! My staff is on top of it and I'm learning from them about the regs.
2014-01-28 07:18:01 PM sbond108 limited engagment ... we have a chart to track those we think are isolation risks .. if they get a certain percent they are pt on 1-1s
2014-01-28 07:18:05 PM kathyhughes Which is why you should never say that "Sally should attend activities 4x a week"
2014-01-28 07:18:17 PM elizabethwoosley that makes sense!
2014-01-28 07:18:24 PM elizabethwoosley Kathy!
2014-01-28 07:18:25 PM heathereubanks me too i love 1:1 i find myself going waaaayyyy over the time i allow
2014-01-28 07:18:26 PM jackie3 awesome elizabeth
2014-01-28 07:18:27 PM ltimlin We advertise 200 activities a month
2014-01-28 07:18:39 PM ericac wow
2014-01-28 07:18:44 PM jackie3 200 a month???
2014-01-28 07:18:44 PM tonyap1 that really not many

2014-01-28 07:19:00 PM sbond108 200? that seems like a lot
2014-01-28 07:19:11 PM sbond108 DOCUMENTATION lol
2014-01-28 07:19:14 PM ltimlin Some of our residents can't miss one - and god forbit we have an overlapping activity. They can't choose.

2014-01-28 07:19:48 PM bwesterman 200 SOUNDS LIKE A LOT, BUT AFTER YOU ADD UP ALL THE STUFF YOU DO WITH THE RESIDENTS I BET THAT YOU FIND OUT 200 REALLY ISN'T A LOT

2014-01-28 07:20:07 PM ltimlin We are set up different, being an Assisted Living
2014-01-28 07:20:07 PM tonyap1 so are we
2014-01-28 07:20:08 PM elizabethwoosley We have 6 units. 2 skilled rehab, 4 long term HC (including a dementia unit), and 2 independent/assisted living. All have programs from 10 until 4 ish. I'm trying to find a comprehensive calendar program that will show everything and then export into the individual units. Any suggestions?
2014-01-28 07:20:11 PM kathyhughes and there isn't anything in the regs that state a time limit
2014-01-28 07:20:17 PM ltimlin Most residents come on their own
2014-01-28 07:20:27 PM heathereubanks and we do them 3x a week
2014-01-28 07:20:28 PM amylorraine we also have 1-1 activies, usually one or two a day depending on staff
2014-01-28 07:20:39 PM tonyap1 assisted living you have to give cues
2014-01-28 07:20:42 PM joytuyh aren't we suspose to have an act for 45 min
2014-01-28 07:20:50 PM kathyhughes I scheduled the 1-1 activities on the calendar
2014-01-28 07:20:52 PM amylorraine Our state regs put a time limit at 60-75 minutes an activity
2014-01-28 07:20:57 PM ltimlin We are required by our QE to have 2 exercise classes a day
2014-01-28 07:21:00 PM amanda33 n dementia unit most stay in living room all day
2014-01-28 07:21:00 PM tonyap1 i had 25 at time once to cue
2014-01-28 07:21:07 PM janice13 we have our programs from 30 min to 1 hour depends on who and what we are doing
2014-01-28 07:21:10 PM sbond108 I guess when yo break it down like that we have quite a few as well - 4 a day for high function and then at least 2 a day on our four other units
2014-01-28 07:21:12 PM ltimlin One could be as simple as a walk on our floors
2014-01-28 07:21:15 PM elizabethwoosley Great idea to schedule 1:1 and not fit them in as we can.
2014-01-28 07:21:16 PM kathyhughes Joy there is nothing in the regs that state atime limit even for groups
2014-01-28 07:21:17 PM sbond108 QE?

2014-01-28 07:21:57 PM kc13 enter the chat room
2014-01-28 07:21:57 PM jill88 time frame depends I think, I'm in dementia care center, so attention span is pretty short, 30 mins usually for me
2014-01-28 07:21:58 PM ltimlin they work along side the state

2014-01-28 07:23:22 PM janice13 we post a calendar in every room for the residents and on the board
2014-01-28 07:23:24 PM kathyhughes There is no regulation that says you have to have an activity calendar in all the residents rooms
2014-01-28 07:23:26 PM sbond108 i believe the reg states that calendars need to be put up in common areas
2014-01-28 07:23:27 PM tonyap1 some residents are slower that others
2014-01-28 07:23:32 PM joytuyh i heard we just have to post it in the hall in a local spot
2014-01-28 07:23:33 PM elizabethwoosley I thought that LTC had to have at least a monthly calendar posted and canceled activities crossed out.
2014-01-28 07:23:39 PM ltimlin We also have pre schoolers from the church next door come over and sing to the residents
2014-01-28 07:23:42 PM elizabethwoosley Posted on the floor

2014-01-28 07:24:05 PM jackie3 i think sometimes our reginal teams reguire things to ensure dhec survey goes well... their surveys are tougher than dhecs
