2020-04-07 06:10:17 PM nicolemyers its really hard for the ones who are used to seeing family on a daily basis some think that their families are mad at them and i have to remind them of all the restrictions
2020-04-07 06:10:22 PM deannaalexa for some residents its hard for them to understand what is going on but they can feel the change
2020-04-07 06:10:26 PM gracepadua Thanks Dani! Did not know I could do it electronically
2020-04-07 06:10:28 PM sarahmarsh We have had 5 deaths within the past 2 weeks. Definitely declining in health was a factor but still a big number
2020-04-07 06:10:30 PM taylorracine can it be basic holidays though if we dont do anything unique each month?
2020-04-07 06:10:34 PM tracichambers try to facetime a facility or just get info from them, fb is great for this
2020-04-07 06:10:56 PM jenniferslockbower We have so many positive COVID residents I don't even know what to do with myself

2020-04-07 06:12:02 PM yadi1 Our Residents are being afected because they do not do well with change. They do not understand why they can not eat at the dinning table like they use too, and mingle with other Residents. They really miss group activities, they are just getting really agitated. This COVID 19 has us all upside down.
2020-04-07 06:12:03 PM emilyac Oh of course! silly me :-)

2020-04-07 06:13:24 PM jenniferslockbower They have actually started to triage us as emergency personel, our administrator has tested positive as have many of our staff and residents. we are no longer able to go down different wings

2020-04-07 06:13:53 PM emilyac We ARE accepting new admits, it makes me so nervous
2020-04-07 06:13:56 PM joanna mostly the residents loved playing Bingo. I loved seeing thier happy faces when they win!
2020-04-07 06:14:01 PM taylorracine we have 144 beds, we are still accepting admissions
2020-04-07 06:14:02 PM gracepadua Hallway Bingo has NOT worked for me. Everyone has hearing loss and can;t hear us.
2020-04-07 06:14:07 PM tracichambers they think some things are kiddy things like some of the crafts, especially men. but i tried darts in thememory ward, and they liked that
2020-04-07 06:14:09 PM foverstreet94 hallway bingo!! and a lot of thyem dislike crafts but thats typical for my population
2020-04-07 06:14:12 PM rsmale me either
2020-04-07 06:14:14 PM sbarzak I HAD A PREACHER SEND ME HIS SERVICE AND IM HANDING IT OUT
2020-04-07 06:14:16 PM tracichambers our memory ward is not on lock down
2020-04-07 06:14:16 PM deannaalexa we can only have 3 to a table including staff. every resident sanitizes hand before and after activities. all bingo cards are laminated and using chips and disinfecting after every use. we have been doing more crafts because everyone has individual supplies
2020-04-07 06:14:24 PM scibaamanda Facetime/skype and hallway bingo and snacks, especially ice cream
2020-04-07 06:14:27 PM sarahmarsh Yes hallway bingo does not work for us either
2020-04-07 06:14:28 PM rsmale handing it out
2020-04-07 06:14:36 PM wilburn YA sounds like great ideas i aslo make popcorn few days a week they enjoy it
2020-04-07 06:14:44 PM deannaalexa we cast youtube to the tv to watch sermons and other videos
2020-04-07 06:15:03 PM taylorracine yeah it was hard enough getting them to hear me calling hallway bingo before we had to wear the masks. now they really wouldnt be able to with the mask muffling my voice
2020-04-07 06:15:03 PM yadi1 Two things that has not worked in our facility is painting and crossword puzzles. They prefer word find puzzles and coloring pictures better.
2020-04-07 06:15:23 PM rsmale i have thought about that. but to see our preachers face would be more helpul i think
2020-04-07 06:15:24 PM jessicareger Has anyone seen or tried the tv converter to make a dedicated channel for facility activities?
2020-04-07 06:15:33 PM jenniferslockbower we printed out different cartoon characters with a space next to them to write who they are
2020-04-07 06:15:34 PM tracichambers also, what doesn';t work is trying to do more activities in one day being the only activity person. i do good to do one activity going roon to room
2020-04-07 06:15:35 PM dani WE have been playing hallway hang man on our giant wipe baord
2020-04-07 06:15:40 PM dani and doing trivia
2020-04-07 06:15:40 PM gracepadua I'm always calling their family members on Facetime and Zoom so they can see them, and I interpret for those who are hard of hearing. But writing letters to their families gives them something to do on their own, and I provided stamps for several residents
2020-04-07 06:15:43 PM emilyac No, our system is SOO OLD, it doesn't even have an HDMI adapter....
2020-04-07 06:15:48 PM rsmale how jessica
2020-04-07 06:15:49 PM deannaalexa our system is too old to cast to multiple tvs.
2020-04-07 06:15:50 PM dani We have to really hype it up to get them to smile and be excited,
2020-04-07 06:15:50 PM tracichambers they do like daily chronicles, and bible studies.
2020-04-07 06:15:50 PM jessicareger I have been wanting to purchase a converter to try this
2020-04-07 06:16:11 PM tracichambers our system to connect them alll doesn't work

2020-04-07 06:16:46 PM jenniferslockbower we've been trying to do hallway activities kind of like scattergories. I will stand in the hallway and ask, name an animal that begins with the letter A... and we go through the whole alphabet
2020-04-07 06:16:50 PM deannaalexa less that $30 on amazon i want to say NCCAP has the link on their website
2020-04-07 06:16:52 PM wilburn Ya we have our United Healtcare provider sending letters to residents and one of the fa,ily members as well
2020-04-07 06:17:06 PM gracepadua We gave this resident a birthday party and had her family call in on zoom and we put it on the big screen TV with HDMI ipad adapter. It was fun
2020-04-07 06:17:08 PM tiffanyhill180 If any one can figure that out please email me at tiffanyhill180@gmail.com
2020-04-07 06:17:16 PM taylorracine i like the guess the cartoon character idea
2020-04-07 06:17:19 PM jaimelalexander enter the chat room
2020-04-07 06:17:21 PM jessicareger apparently its a digital-annalog converter that costs around $50 and it makes it so you can broadcast on a dedicated channel
2020-04-07 06:17:35 PM sbarzak HOW MUCH CHARTING ARE YOU DOING
2020-04-07 06:17:42 PM wilburn Well we are accepting admits but quarentine for 14 days with gowns gloves and masks

2020-04-07 06:18:04 PM taylorracine we have had residents families visit at the windows and talk on the phone so they can hear each other
2020-04-07 06:18:04 PM dani we had to create new codes for the new things we are doing
2020-04-07 06:18:11 PM gracepadua Not at all at this time. No charting. In survival mode right now but they'll probably have us do more documentation in the future.

2020-04-07 06:18:25 PM patricia5 we do progress notes for phone calls etc we still chart but alot of the activities are no longer marked
2020-04-07 06:18:44 PM jenniferslockbower I know they are doing things for the residents but they seem to feel like documenting it isn't important
2020-04-07 06:18:45 PM tracichambers paper work at this time is a joke!!!!!!
2020-04-07 06:18:46 PM gracepadua Oh wait, I'm charting our memory care 1:1 visits.
2020-04-07 06:18:50 PM emilyac I'm doing double charting- their regular activities, plus we put everyone on a 1:1. I spend 1.5 hours per day charting (which is why they let me go over)

2020-04-07 06:18:59 PM rsmale left the chat room

2020-04-07 06:19:04 PM foverstreet94 i had to add new care plans for every single resident. i had to create new programs in the computer and make detailed notes on specific travel carts on top of normal charting, however admissions have decreased so thats a little less charting
