2020-02-27 07:21:45 PM tammiehall25 no not monthly
2020-02-27 07:21:51 PM vanessawatson no
2020-02-27 07:21:57 PM mandyo No. not monthly
2020-02-27 07:21:57 PM jesseshoemaker we spotlight in our monthy newsletter
2020-02-27 07:22:02 PM ibouchard that would be nice to spotlight a volunteer each month
2020-02-27 07:22:03 PM edithscarrillo during our resident council
2020-02-27 07:22:20 PM vanessawatson like the idea.
2020-02-27 07:22:21 PM spankylee99 Not Monthly. We recognize them during Volunteer Appreciation week
2020-02-27 07:22:22 PM millermary8 weekend volunteers are always amazing for us since we're less than half staff every weekendI think in our monthly newletter we were for a bit, then just our picture display. But a monthly little shout out would be really nice
2020-02-27 07:22:43 PM kathyhughes We sent them thank you notes every month..the residents would sign them and make them
2020-02-27 07:22:54 PM tammiehall25 oh gosh the woman running the dept now would have a conniption if she had to do anything else!
2020-02-27 07:22:59 PM mandyo We have two types of volunteers. 1 is a facility volunteer and the other is a facility friend. They do the same types of things just the volunteers are ones who do things with residents with out staff supervision
2020-02-27 07:22:59 PM bnash I love that thats nice kathy
2020-02-27 07:23:02 PM kathyhughes It saved us some $$
2020-02-27 07:23:02 PM ibouchard i'm trying to keep up with their birthdays.
2020-02-27 07:23:05 PM millermary8 or have a Employee of the month shout out but for volunteer of the month, could let the residents vote and select the volunteer they want to recognize
2020-02-27 07:23:07 PM vanessawatson Thank you notes. good dea.
2020-02-27 07:23:14 PM 123sharonj I always love all the ideas you all share its awesome
2020-02-27 07:23:17 PM tammiehall25 i like the card idea.....monthly
2020-02-27 07:23:36 PM millermary8 yeah monthly art/craft of making thank you cards for our volunteer
2020-02-27 07:23:40 PM francine Me 2
2020-02-27 07:23:55 PM kathyhughes The residents would make cards at least 3x a week and we would have them for all occasssions
2020-02-27 07:24:01 PM bnash you could have the residents make them with construction paper and other supplies that way you dont have to spend funds on cards
2020-02-27 07:24:11 PM ibouchard i'm really liking the spotlighting of volunteers each month.
2020-02-27 07:24:18 PM kathleenk Thats a great idea
2020-02-27 07:24:25 PM hmorris we have yet to bring in volunteers besides the reverend and deacon
2020-02-27 07:24:45 PM millermary8 or have residents make goody bags at a cooking activity
2020-02-27 07:25:10 PM spankylee99 We wil That for sure. Volunteers helps to cut down on spending, hiring employees and even supplies, because our volunteers often bring in their own things to make arts or cooking with the residents
2020-02-27 07:25:25 PM vanessawatson Good activity making cards.
2020-02-27 07:25:28 PM kathyhughes Well then I am sure you will get something out of the Volunteer section in this class
2020-02-27 07:25:43 PM 123sharonj I love our Volunteers try to aleays do special things for them
2020-02-27 07:25:56 PM kathyhughes And if you follow it ...it will work
2020-02-27 07:26:02 PM millermary8 yes it has a lot of very helpful ideas
2020-02-27 07:26:11 PM kathleenk I look forward to it and the ideas!
2020-02-27 07:26:30 PM spankylee99 They are a goog resource to have particularly doing 1-1 room visits
2020-02-27 07:26:32 PM kathyhughes But you have to be specific
2020-02-27 07:26:47 PM ibouchard thank you kathy. i actually have 2 positions. i am the volunteer coordinator and the coordinator for our long term memory care unit.
2020-02-27 07:27:08 PM tammiehall25 I can't wait to put so many of these great ideas into action....
2020-02-27 07:27:43 PM ibouchard we are blessed with tons of student volunteers and summers are wonderful since they are out of school. getting them to stick to their commitment of coming in at least once a week is very difficult
2020-02-27 07:27:55 PM kathyhughes You are welcome
2020-02-27 07:28:02 PM bnash same its hard to do these courses and give 100 percent its hard to have balance at times
2020-02-27 07:28:15 PM mandyo Has anyone had to do the new volunteer trainings and show that you are educating them and renew it yearly? We have just written this new policy and it is lengthly.
2020-02-27 07:28:31 PM kathyhughes Many people have passed these classes in the same boat as you Brittany
2020-02-27 07:28:38 PM spankylee99 Or with resident who is sad, crying, the volunteers have the time to sit with these residents and take them for walks or puch them around in there wheelchair off the nits
2020-02-27 07:29:02 PM ibouchard yes, i hold monthly orientations for our new recruits and now i just hosted an "annual education" session for all existing volunteers
2020-02-27 07:29:10 PM bnash thanks for the support !
2020-02-27 07:29:11 PM 123sharonj Kathy I ve had some things come up and Im late on assignments but will I lose credits by being a little late
2020-02-27 07:29:27 PM francine That is part of my activity trap assignment answer. These classes, and the job makes it hard for time management so you kind of fall into a rut or activity trap
2020-02-27 07:29:31 PM mandyo is this new for you ibouchard?
2020-02-27 07:29:35 PM kathyhughes Sharon it depends on how late it ws
2020-02-27 07:30:15 PM mandyo or have you always educated your volunteers and provided tests on the education?
2020-02-27 07:30:19 PM vanessawatson Time management is essential to being successful.
2020-02-27 07:30:41 PM kathyhughes We did an orientation for the volunteers and a yearly update
2020-02-27 07:31:11 PM ibouchard no.... we've had orientations for all new recruits for some time now. BUT CMS is now requiring all volunteers to have annual education courses if they continue to volunteer
2020-02-27 07:31:18 PM bnash good ideas its soo easy to forget everything you hvae learned
2020-02-27 07:31:34 PM kathyhughes Yes CMS considers volunteers and employees
2020-02-27 07:31:44 PM spankylee99 Yes Mandyo, we have to have oriention for our volunteers before they can do anything. We also keep a seperate binder with thier information just in case state surveyor ask for evidence of training
2020-02-27 07:31:50 PM mandyo Yes CMS here also.
2020-02-27 07:32:13 PM ibouchard we use volgistics to track our volunteers
2020-02-27 07:32:28 PM mandyo I like the binder thing. I just have a spreadsheet that I keep info on and put the rest in a file in a drawer not very organized.
2020-02-27 07:32:37 PM mandyo waht is volgistics?
2020-02-27 07:32:38 PM kathyhughes Okay guys..I am not feeling well and need to cut this shourt. I am so sorry, but you can keep chatting

2020-02-27 07:34:44 PM ibouchard no problem @mandyo. i'm still learning how to use it but our volunteers can sign up for their assignments/shifts and we can see who is actually in our facility once they check in
2020-02-27 07:34:45 PM mandyo My facility ahs been very lucky this year and has not had the bug hit us as hard as it has in the past years
2020-02-27 07:34:46 PM millermary8 our facility just had a bag stomach bug going around and we had to do 1:1 activities for our whole building for a week and a half
2020-02-27 07:34:47 PM catherinemello my facility had a 3 week GI bug outbreak in Jan

2020-02-27 07:35:13 PM millermary8 it's been a weird year for flu/ illlness it seems
2020-02-27 07:35:14 PM bnash every other day people called out
2020-02-27 07:35:16 PM catherinemello what do you guys think of coronavirus
2020-02-27 07:35:17 PM ibouchard we haven't had any bad illnesses
2020-02-27 07:35:54 PM francine I think it's scarey
2020-02-27 07:35:54 PM tammiehall25 we were on quarentine a week ago...staff and residents had the flu
2020-02-27 07:35:55 PM vanessawatson coronavirus is scary.
2020-02-27 07:36:03 PM mloven we currently have cases of the flu. residents are contained to their units
2020-02-27 07:36:09 PM millermary8 not worried about that too much haha. more so this small stuff like the stomach bug. first person may have thought it was just food poisoning and came and spread it to everyone and it spread hard and fast despite bleaching everything and anything all day long
2020-02-27 07:36:10 PM tammiehall25 scary
2020-02-27 07:36:12 PM mandyo My facility is struggling with ordering masks and gloves due to the over demand on these products.Do you guys see this issue. Supplies cant keep up
2020-02-27 07:36:16 PM catherinemello i know the risk is still low in the US right now but im afraid of coronavirus coming into my facility from someone who comes back from the hospital
2020-02-27 07:36:42 PM francine We're having the same supply issues here with the masks
2020-02-27 07:36:52 PM spankylee99 Our Medical Director told us yesterday to put up signs asking anyone that traveld outside USA to stay away from the building for 14 days. has your facility done that yet
2020-02-27 07:37:01 PM millermary8 so far we are lucky in terms of masks, but our admins told us to use them only if needed due to it growing harder and harder to get
2020-02-27 07:37:09 PM catherinemello wow spankylee where do u live
2020-02-27 07:37:19 PM spankylee99 Maryland
2020-02-27 07:37:22 PM mandyo NO spankylee. but thats a great idea to give to the infection controll team
2020-02-27 07:37:44 PM francine Right. Is it a threat in Maryland
2020-02-27 07:37:45 PM ibouchard where in maryland @spankylee99? i'm in maryland too! rockville, maryland to be exact
2020-02-27 07:38:06 PM catherinemello better safe than sorry i guess. especially with vunerable elders
2020-02-27 07:38:14 PM bnash ya
2020-02-27 07:38:15 PM mandyo Do any of you make the monthly facility newsletter
2020-02-27 07:38:16 PM millermary8 our facility just has a sign on the entrance doors saying if they are sick or have been around sick people to please not visit or ask the nursing staff for mask/gloves/gown/etc
2020-02-27 07:38:20 PM spankylee99 The news this evening said they have 2 more possible cases
2020-02-27 07:38:26 PM millermary8 yeah, it comes with our calendars
2020-02-27 07:38:27 PM catherinemello us too millermary8
2020-02-27 07:38:47 PM mandyo Do you use any programs to make the newsletter
2020-02-27 07:38:47 PM hmorris I use to make it as an assistant but as a dircetor I don't have the time
2020-02-27 07:38:52 PM bnash i have a resident who does a daily newsletter
2020-02-27 07:38:55 PM francine I just do calendars for now but newletters are coming soon
2020-02-27 07:39:00 PM ibouchard we used to have a monthly newsletter but now it's quarterly. our marketing representative handles it now
2020-02-27 07:39:02 PM mandyo mine is usually 5-6 pages long
2020-02-27 07:39:06 PM hmorris I make a weekly schedule with the menu and a daily powerpoint
2020-02-27 07:39:06 PM tammiehall25 I have a friend that works for Cardinal ......who manufactures the masks. China wouldn't let them and 3M get back into the facilitites they lease over there..basically they said all hte product is ours now.
2020-02-27 07:39:08 PM spankylee99 My daughter's university Townson had a scare last month,
2020-02-27 07:39:26 PM tammiehall25 hence the shortage......we can't get to our product
2020-02-27 07:39:53 PM mandyo Dont think we want any products from China. Kinda scary
2020-02-27 07:40:03 PM millermary8 I'm hoping with my team (should I get promoted) that we can distribute some stuff like one person take lead on volunteers and one on events and things. They all have a strong interest in a specific skill and I hate to not let them try and grow
2020-02-27 07:40:12 PM francine But EVERYTHING is made in China
2020-02-27 07:40:25 PM mandyo haha
2020-02-27 07:40:28 PM tammiehall25 thats where our masks come from
2020-02-27 07:40:30 PM mandyo very true francine
2020-02-27 07:40:39 PM mandyo Isnt that crazy tammie
2020-02-27 07:40:54 PM vanessawatson unfortunately China is the source to alot of things.

2020-02-27 07:41:21 PM edithscarrillo left the chat room
2020-02-27 07:41:21 PM ibouchard its so difficult listening to the news and really getting a grip on what's really going on.
2020-02-27 07:41:25 PM millermary8 green beer, face paint (some ladies wanted to hahaha) and door decor and things like that
2020-02-27 07:41:26 PM mandyo the potluck sounds fun

2020-02-27 07:42:01 PM millermary8 we just had our big theme dinner and that was willie wonka themed and next month is family night for st pattys
2020-02-27 07:42:01 PM mandyo Irish coffee is a gread idea
2020-02-27 07:42:03 PM bnash ya we are making it international instead of limiting it to only irish heritage
2020-02-27 07:42:04 PM ibouchard we're having shamrock shakes, irish soda bread and irish dancers come in
2020-02-27 07:42:12 PM mandyo since everyone loves coffee in a nursing home.
2020-02-27 07:42:15 PM spankylee99 We are have a kareokee constest with residents as judges. the staff will do the singing
2020-02-27 07:42:23 PM millermary8 shamrock shakes are a good idea too, and easy
2020-02-27 07:42:35 PM bnash love shamrock shakes
2020-02-27 07:42:38 PM mandyo love shamrock shakes.
2020-02-27 07:42:40 PM ibouchard we should have irish coffee for our independent living residents. i'm sure they would love that
2020-02-27 07:42:45 PM tammiehall25 I'm working on an Irish dance team coming in
2020-02-27 07:42:48 PM mandyo great minds bnash lol
2020-02-27 07:43:00 PM hmorris china is also where we get like 90% of our anitbiotics. those factories are closed now. supply will move to other countries if possible... but prices will be crazy
2020-02-27 07:43:04 PM ibouchard shamrock shakes are good but very messy and tables get super sticky lol
2020-02-27 07:43:21 PM tammiehall25 i lke the staff karaoke idea!

2020-02-27 07:44:19 PM hmorris debloons!
2020-02-27 07:44:24 PM millermary8 the other day, our team came up with a great idea for a root beer float for someone who is nectar thick, melt the icecream and stir it in, same flavor but safe for them to have since ice cream (unless special) can't be used for thickened liquids
2020-02-27 07:44:32 PM francine I'm so jealous!!!!! My budget doesn't allow outside entertainment
2020-02-27 07:44:43 PM spankylee99 The kareokee is always fun the residents love it. They get to see the staff making fools of themselves in a fun way
2020-02-27 07:44:43 PM tammiehall25 left the chat room
2020-02-27 07:45:11 PM hmorris or use a magic cup for a float
2020-02-27 07:45:20 PM bnash oh nice idea
2020-02-27 07:45:23 PM ibouchard you can always try local dance studios to have their students perform their recitals at your facility
2020-02-27 07:45:32 PM mandyo we do the magic cup to thickin it up
2020-02-27 07:45:32 PM catherinemello left the chat room

2020-02-27 07:45:57 PM mandyo Gymnastic teams and schools love to go to facilities.

2020-02-27 07:48:16 PM millermary8 one of our residents used to volunteer when he owned a llama farm and he made a stamp shaped like llama lips and would stamp their hands at the end of the visit to show they were "kissed by a llama"

2020-02-27 07:53:12 PM ibouchard it's always so much more difficult to plan out what to do for father's day since our population is mostly women.....
2020-02-27 07:53:34 PM spankylee99 Fathers day brunch
2020-02-27 07:53:40 PM mandyo Maybe a mens inhouse lunch would be a nice fathers day idea

2020-02-27 07:53:59 PM bnash cool

2020-02-27 07:54:42 PM spankylee99 Thats funny, I think our male patients would feel the same way about wearing a tie

2020-02-27 07:57:20 PM spankylee99 left the chat room
2020-02-27 07:57:21 PM hmorris same
2020-02-27 07:57:22 PM bnash same just dont know if other department heads would allow it
2020-02-27 07:57:32 PM millermary8 so we left at 11, got there by 11:30, ate until about 12 bc they wanted to gamble really badly hahaha and left around 3
2020-02-27 07:57:36 PM millermary8 *2
2020-02-27 07:58:06 PM millermary8 don't see why they would deny it. we had each resident take out up to $50 (or more if they had their own money)
2020-02-27 07:58:40 PM millermary8 one lady who only had $20 and family doesn't come often to give her more ended up winning like $200+ dollars and can now go on a lot of other outings with us
2020-02-27 07:59:06 PM bnash lol people are tough at my place they dont like us taking many chances and they always talk about saftey and risks which is expected but they overdo it
2020-02-27 07:59:12 PM millermary8 We just had our residents request it during our communitee meeting and recored it, then we had to do it hahaha
2020-02-27 08:00:04 PM millermary8 but our admin loved the idea b/c the ladies and gents had so much fun and we took pictures and the families then commented on how much they loved it and yeah. can't deny it now hahaha
