2020-02-25 07:04:01 PM deannaalexa i enjoy the pace of this class.
2020-02-25 07:04:03 PM akolb does the do it at your own pase mean you can get it done faster or can take longer
2020-02-25 07:04:12 PM serinamcwha I think so...
2020-02-25 07:04:22 PM eckhartdanielle depends on your work ethic
2020-02-25 07:04:25 PM nicolemyers i mean state just walked in for full book so my tuesday could have been better
2020-02-25 07:04:28 PM dawncalexander do it faster

2020-02-25 07:04:30 PM kellyabner serinamcwha im getting mine done faster with ownpace
2020-02-25 07:04:32 PM pennysloan that is too cute Janice. Me too
2020-02-25 07:04:34 PM janice222 you can do at your own pace but must finish in one year
2020-02-25 07:04:37 PM spassa we had a parade and residents made instruments
2020-02-25 07:04:41 PM yadi1 Doing at your own pace sounds good but not for me. I need dead-lines
2020-02-25 07:04:44 PM kathyhughes In the Pace course you have up to a year to finish the class
2020-02-25 07:04:48 PM jenniferslockbower our mardi gras got cancelled due to all of our wings on lock down due to illness :(
2020-02-25 07:04:53 PM kathyhughes I need deadlines too!
2020-02-25 07:05:02 PM eckhartdanielle If you have to extend your time it costs $$
2020-02-25 07:05:02 PM akolb that sounds like something i will be doing for part 2
2020-02-25 07:05:15 PM eckhartdanielle Yeah, I fell behind at some points for sure
2020-02-25 07:05:16 PM spassa sorry Jenn
2020-02-25 07:05:17 PM elaine Mardis Gras was smaller due to illnesses
2020-02-25 07:05:17 PM busselljustin5 Its great you offer both courses tho
2020-02-25 07:05:20 PM deannaalexa @yadi1 same i need the deadlines so i cant procrastinate
2020-02-25 07:05:41 PM tiffanyhill180 for the midterm pack are we supposed to post on the forum as well for certain assigmnet so our classmates can see
2020-02-25 07:05:48 PM kathyhughes So you have to be organized because even though you have 1 year....time flies and many wait until the last month due to procrastination
2020-02-25 07:05:56 PM spassa i'm not stuctured enough for own pace i like deadlines
2020-02-25 07:05:58 PM kathyhughes Correct Tiffany

2020-02-25 07:06:30 PM srolle dawn i know you can do it
2020-02-25 07:06:34 PM kathyhughes What would you do for a resident who likes to complain about all of your activities?????
2020-02-25 07:06:36 PM dawncalexander thank you. Been working on it none stop
2020-02-25 07:06:46 PM janice222 jealous Dawn!
2020-02-25 07:06:53 PM serinamcwha have them start planning and contributing to activities
2020-02-25 07:06:54 PM jaimelalexander enter the chat room
2020-02-25 07:06:58 PM busselljustin5 Id ask them what they want to do and give that a try
2020-02-25 07:06:58 PM kellyabner ask them what they would like to do
2020-02-25 07:06:59 PM pennysloan I have not had one of those yet Kathy
2020-02-25 07:07:13 PM akolb i would have them partake in the planning of activities and setting up
2020-02-25 07:07:15 PM serinamcwha figure out why they complain... it may not be because of your activities. there may be something deeper going on
2020-02-25 07:07:15 PM tracichambers i would ask them what kind of activities they would like to do
2020-02-25 07:07:17 PM ajensen I would go over their resident profile and then try to find something that they would be interested in either one on one or as a group
2020-02-25 07:07:18 PM elaine Ask them if they have ideas for other activities or how they would change the current ones
2020-02-25 07:07:19 PM kathyhughes What if you did Penny??
2020-02-25 07:07:20 PM akolb and find out what they enjoy
2020-02-25 07:07:22 PM nicolemyers thats what i do i ask them what they would like to see
2020-02-25 07:07:24 PM deannaalexa sit down and find out what they enjoy maybe its something we dont have
2020-02-25 07:07:26 PM srolle I been working a 40 plus hours and doing my assessments
2020-02-25 07:07:26 PM jenniferslockbower I've had that happen. I asked them what they wanted to do, planned an activity around their idea, and they still complained! lol
2020-02-25 07:07:32 PM janice222 I got one of them
2020-02-25 07:07:35 PM jaimelalexander hello all!
2020-02-25 07:07:41 PM eckhartdanielle Everyone enjoys something, it takes some investigative work
2020-02-25 07:07:42 PM sarahmarsh Same Jennifer!
2020-02-25 07:07:47 PM tiffanyhill180 I usually asked during resident council meeting and they give me suggestions and tha's how I work with my calendarts
2020-02-25 07:07:50 PM serinamcwha Help them to take ownership of the activities.
2020-02-25 07:07:51 PM spassa I would set down and find out there likes and show them how most of there likes is probably on the calendar already and let them know how they are more than welcome to help the others plan the calendar every month
2020-02-25 07:07:55 PM dawncalexander I would meet with them and ask them what they would like to do and what we could do to make them happy with us
2020-02-25 07:08:03 PM yadi1 I use to have a resident who complained about everything until I let her do an activity of her choice and be the leader for one activity a month. Now, she enjoys every activity I do.
2020-02-25 07:08:04 PM busselljustin5 would need to include them in and see how that goes
2020-02-25 07:08:06 PM kellyabner we could ask them to come up with an activity to "help" the activity department
2020-02-25 07:08:07 PM tiffanyhill180 they due like taking own of the activiites
2020-02-25 07:08:07 PM janice222 do something specifically for them
2020-02-25 07:08:14 PM pennysloan I would ask them what they would like and then cry. I am a people pleaser
2020-02-25 07:08:27 PM dawncalexander Sometimes it just takes sitting down and talking with them to find out what they are upset about
2020-02-25 07:08:56 PM rita enter the chat room
2020-02-25 07:08:57 PM nicolemyers unfortunatly alot of us dont see them at there best they would rather be home with their family and they are just depressed getting them involved with planning seems to help me
2020-02-25 07:09:00 PM hnichols1 Generally I set up one on one time with that resident and ask them how they would "like to the activity run if time and money wasn't a factor?" I make notes and actively talk them through how I may be able to make alterations to improve their experience.
2020-02-25 07:09:11 PM dawncalexander But with that said some people are never satisfied
2020-02-25 07:09:12 PM eckhartdanielle Or if they dislike group programs plan a 1:1 around their interests
2020-02-25 07:09:13 PM janice222 and praise them during activities...it does work
2020-02-25 07:09:39 PM busselljustin5 Thats a good idea
2020-02-25 07:09:44 PM kathyhughes Good advice from all of you
2020-02-25 07:10:10 PM kathyhughes I would check to see if their leisure history includes being in large groups of people
2020-02-25 07:10:22 PM tiffanyhill180 Kathy I have a question for the midterm packet you also want a copy scanned of the assignment we put on the forum?
2020-02-25 07:10:27 PM tracichambers i have a few who will get really involved, an d then venture back...then come back again.
2020-02-25 07:10:33 PM janice222 My complainer was a teacher..lol
2020-02-25 07:10:37 PM tiffanyhill180 sorry just a question I had
2020-02-25 07:10:37 PM sarahmarsh We have some residents who wish to only come down to certain activities, though we still invite them to attend other events.
2020-02-25 07:10:42 PM hnichols1 Also, I have have Residents that prefer one of my staff members to the others and I will try and schedule their activities around when that staff member is available.
2020-02-25 07:10:47 PM elaine some people light up in 1 on 1 or small group
2020-02-25 07:11:05 PM eckhartdanielle Exactly
2020-02-25 07:11:28 PM busselljustin5 all the Residents that were teachers in the past have made the best teachers in my activities. they wanted to teach classes to the other residents and we let them
2020-02-25 07:11:31 PM kellyabner I have a man right now that will only go to activities if i ask him to go. lol he will tell anyone else no and tell them to go get me lol
2020-02-25 07:11:33 PM rita Giving a special invite helps
2020-02-25 07:11:48 PM kellyabner gotta love the stubborn ones lol
2020-02-25 07:11:49 PM scibaamanda Maybe they don't like to be involved with groups of people. They prefer one-on-one interaction. Create a great 1-on-1 activity that they would enjoy based on the assessment and continued feedback from them..
2020-02-25 07:11:49 PM tracichambers i have one that won't come down if there is a certain resident doing activities. its awful cuz they are bipolar and i don't know what to do about that. its not fair to the other resident, and makes me not want to tell the bipolar resident to come lol
2020-02-25 07:11:56 PM tracichambers the other resident is very nice
2020-02-25 07:12:02 PM dawncalexander We have residents that refuse to do activities and no matter what they won't participate
2020-02-25 07:12:07 PM janice222 I think its a control issue as well
2020-02-25 07:12:13 PM eckhartdanielle Inquiring with close friends and family works as well. We have a spanish speaking man and gathered great info about music types and art that he likes to do that we would've never known
2020-02-25 07:12:16 PM akolb i have residents like that where they wont come for some people, i tend to ask staff to get everyone else except those and i personally go get them
2020-02-25 07:12:17 PM kathyhughes Tiffaany..if you have posted it in the Practicum Forum in the correct area I do not need an addtional copy. All I need is a completed, signed Practicum sign off sheet
2020-02-25 07:12:24 PM janice222 They are used to beig in charge
2020-02-25 07:12:31 PM srolle dawn have you tried giving them food they like
2020-02-25 07:12:52 PM jenniferslockbower Sometimes I ask them to give me just 5 minutes and then if they're not having fun to leave. Most times they wind up staying.
2020-02-25 07:13:00 PM pennysloan I always encourage with food
2020-02-25 07:13:16 PM eckhartdanielle Everyone loves food(lol)
2020-02-25 07:13:18 PM srolle love it penny
2020-02-25 07:13:19 PM rita It helps to give then some of the "control" by asking what they would enjoy
2020-02-25 07:13:36 PM rita Food is a big motivator
2020-02-25 07:13:44 PM janice222 and prizes
2020-02-25 07:13:46 PM dawncalexander Oh yes we give them food and we make food togather. The ones that are cranky and don't want to participate I will go to their room and do a one on one. I usually talk about my farm and show them pictures of oshow them pictures of my animals and they lighten up
2020-02-25 07:13:51 PM yadi1 Good to know, Ms. Kathy. Thank you for the clerification.
2020-02-25 07:13:58 PM elaine sometimes we buddy up so the more dominant person can help other residents
2020-02-25 07:14:00 PM sarahmarsh We try to get suggestions during resident council meetings.
2020-02-25 07:14:18 PM janice222 My residents are competetive
2020-02-25 07:14:19 PM akolb Food and friends works good in my building sometimes redirecting helps after a few moments
2020-02-25 07:14:28 PM busselljustin5 Always best to use their strengths in constructive ways
2020-02-25 07:14:33 PM eckhartdanielle The same residents who complain will say nothing at the meetings which is frusterating
2020-02-25 07:14:40 PM pennysloan Our resident council president is the biggest complainer.
2020-02-25 07:14:47 PM jaimelalexander so what topic are we on...food?
2020-02-25 07:14:52 PM tracichambers my residents get in loud arguments and cuss each other sometimes({)
2020-02-25 07:14:57 PM kellyabner we dont have a RC president
2020-02-25 07:15:02 PM kathyhughes There are people who do not have leisure skills to attend large groups
2020-02-25 07:15:04 PM janice222 exactly danielle
2020-02-25 07:15:19 PM sarahmarsh Yes I have experienced this also Danielle
2020-02-25 07:15:22 PM busselljustin5 so smaller and 1:1 groups are best
2020-02-25 07:15:45 PM rita Do !
2020-02-25 07:15:49 PM elaine We have separate meetings for food, resident council, planning, and family council so they can direct more specific criticism
2020-02-25 07:15:54 PM kathyhughes Remember that Resident Council is their opportunity to be heard
2020-02-25 07:15:54 PM pennysloan When our RC president goes out to the hospital, I have thebiggest group participation.
2020-02-25 07:15:55 PM tracichambers i get that, but i can't tell them not to come. when i try to calm them down, sometimes i have to get the social worker, its usually just one that causes it though
2020-02-25 07:16:02 PM eckhartdanielle Yes or giving them jobs to do if they're the type that likes to contribute
2020-02-25 07:16:04 PM janice222 We offer so many different activities they could choses a smaller group to attend
2020-02-25 07:16:06 PM yadi1 Ooh my goodness, I do too... Have two female Residents who are very competitive with each other too. But, I also love their sense of humor. They act just like sisters or BFF"s . They are so adorable.
2020-02-25 07:16:30 PM srolle I don't have a RC at this time. all the residents don't want to be involved stated they don't get anything for doing it.
2020-02-25 07:16:31 PM jenniferslockbower I also have residents who complain to anyone who will listen EXCEPT when it's time for resident council.
2020-02-25 07:16:37 PM rita Do 1:1 count if we also document attempts to have them participate in group activities?
2020-02-25 07:16:42 PM ajensen Our resident council president is so organized but not the nicest so I feel like I have to restate questions a lot to make the residents more comfotable to share or participate
2020-02-25 07:16:45 PM hnichols1 In that case I agree that 1:1 would be the best option. Assign them a personal volunteer or put them on the 1:1 rotation.
2020-02-25 07:16:45 PM kathyhughes And with your smaller activities do residents know what they are by their title on the calendar?
2020-02-25 07:16:47 PM dawncalexander The resident council is actually their rights so that they can have a better living area we need to be more motivated to help resident counsil
2020-02-25 07:17:12 PM tracichambers ya i told my residents that they can complain all theyt want, but if they don't put in a grievance nothings getting done it seems
2020-02-25 07:17:31 PM akolb i go over the calander with some at the begining of the month and give them reminders of what some activities are
2020-02-25 07:17:35 PM serinamcwha i have that issue kathy. Trying to get staff to clear up titles so we know exactly what the activity is just by looking at the calendar
2020-02-25 07:17:38 PM janice222 yes, for instance, book club...6 to 8 people bocce 20 to 24 people
2020-02-25 07:17:39 PM akolb and give them copies of the calendars
2020-02-25 07:17:41 PM eckhartdanielle Some of our smaller programs are fluid when it comes to which subject because we have such a variety of high and low functioning residents
2020-02-25 07:17:44 PM spassa I include a rundown of explaining all activities in my newsletter
2020-02-25 07:17:46 PM tiffanyhill180 with the resident council meeting everyone is heard in every department
2020-02-25 07:17:59 PM busselljustin5 my group is very involved and are mostly friends with each other so they are in the know about all the activities and the sizes of the groups. usually they invite others to come
2020-02-25 07:18:00 PM sarahmarsh As a facilitator, what can we do during meetings? I have heard a mix of duties
2020-02-25 07:18:08 PM jaimelalexander I sit in on our resident council, I have residents who can voice their opinion and those who are cognitively not able......sometimes its like a debate...sometimes i hear crickets....
2020-02-25 07:18:08 PM yadi1 I tend to put out flyers for the activities and like to put a little description about the activity. I do still have residents who still ask.
2020-02-25 07:18:15 PM srolle Yes the residents know the title, many of them request them to be on the calendar
2020-02-25 07:18:38 PM tiffanyhill180 what is everyone doing for St patricks day
2020-02-25 07:18:48 PM kathyhughes If you look at the regulations for Resident council all you are to do is be a liasion between the council and administration
2020-02-25 07:18:58 PM tanya1 enter the chat room
2020-02-25 07:19:00 PM yadi1 I do my best to put a tittle that best discribes the activity.
2020-02-25 07:19:03 PM kathyhughes That is all you are responsible for
2020-02-25 07:19:09 PM akolb we are having a leprachuan hunt and st patricks day celebration and toss a coin
2020-02-25 07:19:09 PM dawncalexander and Kathy remember they have to invite you to attend
2020-02-25 07:19:14 PM jaimelalexander I have a problem with sitting in on metings, I feel like i dont get feed back for ACTIVITIES
2020-02-25 07:19:15 PM tracichambers i havn't been clued in on that yet. i am to put 3 on the calendar for regular and 3 for memory unit, and then lunch and dinner activities while they wait for food, and other things they have me do like one on one, and computer work takes my whole day. sometimes i don't get lunch
2020-02-25 07:19:18 PM kathyhughes correct
2020-02-25 07:19:24 PM kellyabner Kathy... Do we have to let you know when we are finished with reading assignments? I was trying to find the answer in assignments but i couldnt find it
2020-02-25 07:19:54 PM srolle Ijaime see if the resident would like to run the meeting by themselfs
2020-02-25 07:19:58 PM scibaamanda Look at your state regulations on resident council.
2020-02-25 07:20:02 PM janice222 My advisor says we are not to give an opinion during resident council
2020-02-25 07:20:03 PM kathyhughes Kelly, I read your written assignments and then grade your reading assignments
2020-02-25 07:20:05 PM tanya1 Hello everyone, I'm sorry i'm late. A deer ran minto my car on the way home
2020-02-25 07:20:16 PM kathyhughes Look at the Federal Regulations

2020-02-25 07:20:25 PM tracichambers oh no, thats horrible, glad youre ok
2020-02-25 07:20:33 PM eckhartdanielle When you get off topic, make note of which department to alert of their comment and then state that it's time to bring attention back to activities
2020-02-25 07:20:33 PM yadi1 I hope you are okay Tanya1
