2020-04-09 05:35:04 PM mmclean I'm holding up OK, we have had 9 deaths with one still activily dying. I thought the chat was supposed to start at 7 CST. I'm logging on at 7:30 EST. So, I'll just wait... Our 9 deaths are a result of the no familiy visits. we have been in lockdown since March 16th. All the residents who have died were ones that relied on family visits to keep going.
2020-04-09 05:36:22 PM mmclean HI Sarah, welcome to the chat. I thought I was going just have to chat with myself.

2020-04-09 06:07:40 PM spassa i did resident decorating wooden blocks and we used to build a house out of them and labeled no place like home
2020-04-09 06:07:46 PM cchase think disposable with all things

2020-04-09 06:07:52 PM elaine We have daily mind travel, dress up, play music, give word searches, and snacks

2020-04-09 06:08:29 PM mmclean They can still come out of their rooms if they maintain 6 ft distance. our building is set up in a big square, so they can go down the hallways
2020-04-09 06:08:43 PM cchase cool
2020-04-09 06:09:04 PM cchase some facilities set up 6ft tables to keep them apart
2020-04-09 06:09:18 PM bnash our residents have to stay in their rooms as much as possible
2020-04-09 06:09:29 PM spassa that same as us to. we have court yards to go outside to do lemonade but im finding it hard to keep them at distance. im constantly reminding them covid
2020-04-09 06:09:32 PM mandyo WE have tables set up 6 ft apart. We also only allow 8 residents and 2 staff in the room at one time
2020-04-09 06:09:44 PM bnash none of them are dinning in the day rooms just in their rooms
2020-04-09 06:09:58 PM mandyo Same for our facility bnash
2020-04-09 06:10:20 PM bnash like everything is cancelled it sucks this virus has to go!
2020-04-09 06:10:31 PM cchase since this covid can be spread even if no symptoms are present - it makes sense to keep them away from each other...but not easy for sure
2020-04-09 06:10:46 PM mmclean We have evreyone healthy at this point. Set up isolation wing for activily dying and those who go to dialisys outside also for new admits
2020-04-09 06:10:50 PM mandyo Our residents are starting to show restlessness with the 6 ft situration.
2020-04-09 06:11:07 PM cchase bnash.... it will go away when it can't find anyone to make sick
2020-04-09 06:11:19 PM bnash is everyone wearing masks in their facilities ???

2020-04-09 06:14:20 PM cchase good... some who wear gloves do not really know how to take them off
2020-04-09 06:14:41 PM cchase so it defeats the point of wearing them
2020-04-09 06:14:43 PM mandyo We are have staff fit tested by a professional for N95 maskes now so we are ready if need be.

2020-04-09 06:19:21 PM bnash weeven if you dont have the virus its still all the extra work and stress and precautions everyone is going through that should be accounted for
2020-04-09 06:19:25 PM cchase so if you have covid - harzard pay will cover if you need to be out of work

2020-04-09 06:28:33 PM cchase just out curiousity did you use close knit fabric?
2020-04-09 06:28:36 PM millermary8 took me two - three hours to sew one hahahaha
2020-04-09 06:28:43 PM cchase to make the masks ...
2020-04-09 06:28:47 PM elaine Thanks for making masks - important work
2020-04-09 06:29:04 PM mmclean COTTON i'm in columbus
2020-04-09 06:29:08 PM millermary8 weird, I'm in cincinnati area hahaha, chilly but not enough for snow
2020-04-09 06:29:20 PM cchase also someone mentioned using paper towel in the middle for xtra protection
2020-04-09 06:29:30 PM mandyo or coffee filters
2020-04-09 06:29:42 PM spassa never heard paper towel but did hear coffee filter
2020-04-09 06:29:47 PM mmclean I heard a cofee filter
2020-04-09 06:29:48 PM cchase coffee filters.... right good thinking
2020-04-09 06:29:55 PM millermary8 I used close knit 100% cotton fabric, but made it with a pocket b/c we have to use our disposable mask either over, under, or tucked inside cloth masks if we use cloth masks
2020-04-09 06:30:17 PM cchase someone made a slot so you can take out the papertowel to wash the mask
2020-04-09 06:30:28 PM mandyo We are not allowed to use cloth maskes until PPE runs out
2020-04-09 06:30:54 PM cchase cloth masks are for the reg. public
2020-04-09 06:30:56 PM mmclean Right i folded them so an extrs filter could be inserted
2020-04-09 06:31:08 PM mandyo correct cchase
2020-04-09 06:31:17 PM cchase (y)
2020-04-09 06:31:58 PM millermary8 yep but I wanted to brighten people's day and got the ok to have a cloth mask if my ppe mask is incorporated somehow so I used the pocket method. the one fabric with whales printed on it makes a lot of people laugh for some reason haha
2020-04-09 06:32:07 PM mmclean I made enough so staff could take home for family andwhen they have to go out
2020-04-09 06:32:19 PM millermary8 probably b/c i made it the wrong way so the whales are swimming up/down instead of side to side
2020-04-09 06:32:28 PM mandyo What is everyone doing for facetime? We have had to cut back to each resident getting 1 15minute call each week. We do group chats.
2020-04-09 06:32:45 PM cchase I imagine the resident like to see those happy masks better than the standard
2020-04-09 06:33:06 PM cchase awe - too cute millermary
2020-04-09 06:33:07 PM millermary8 we are supposed to be liiting, but most we've had in a day is 4 and the families are very understanding of times
2020-04-09 06:33:17 PM millermary8 yeah, staff like it too
2020-04-09 06:33:24 PM spassa I'm lucky most of mine have cell phones they talk regularly to family so facetime schedule is tues and thurs

2020-04-09 06:34:14 PM mandyo We have 2 resident phones that are busy with family calling all day every day. Families are unhappy that I had to cut back to the 1 day a week.
2020-04-09 06:35:01 PM mandyo Anyone have asthma that it messes with? I have a hard time keeping my breath. Always feel short of breath when wearing a mask
2020-04-09 06:35:06 PM cchase it's hard for them to think that there are lots of families beside them that need to reach out to loved one
2020-04-09 06:35:17 PM millermary8 that's rough mandyo :/ maybe they could be convinced to buy a used ipad or something for their loved one hahaha

2020-04-09 06:36:46 PM mandyo We are not high alert with not touching masks and hand washing
2020-04-09 06:37:06 PM cchase I think material double like that is harder to breathe... but imagine it it's hard to breathe then probably helpful to keep out those nasty germs
2020-04-09 06:37:07 PM mandyo *on

2020-04-09 06:38:26 PM millermary8 some people are sewing buttons onto headbands and attaching their masks via yarn to the head bands so the masks aren't irritating their ears

2020-04-09 06:41:15 PM mandyo Not going to lie. I have times I could do better.
2020-04-09 06:41:35 PM bnash who knows lol i dont plan on trying it either way
2020-04-09 06:41:37 PM cchase so is managing just about telling poeple what to do?
2020-04-09 06:41:39 PM millermary8 sometimes there's a curveball haha. but always room to learn/grow
2020-04-09 06:41:48 PM bnash no

2020-04-09 06:42:37 PM millermary8 there's preemptive managing to prevent potential conflict/issues, time management, stress management, moral, team dynamics, etc etc
2020-04-09 06:42:50 PM mandyo communication, working together, keeping things smooth. I am not a boss, I am a leader.
2020-04-09 06:43:17 PM elaine leading by example

2020-04-09 06:43:27 PM mandyo exactly elaine
2020-04-09 06:43:41 PM cchase good thoughts
2020-04-09 06:43:58 PM cchase do you respect someone that is always telling you what to do?
2020-04-09 06:44:17 PM bnash working well with one other, guiding others, directing them to help them collaborate to reach the same goal, giving them tasks/responsibilities, communicating with them, giving them a sense of purpose, correcting them when needed, making them apart of the team, etc
2020-04-09 06:44:46 PM spassa i feel i am always last to know
2020-04-09 06:45:15 PM cchase when you interview & hire- you should be pretty convinced about the knowledge of the new hire to ask him/her to come on board
2020-04-09 06:45:35 PM millermary8 depends on approach and sometimes title. can be hard if someone your level or lower is telling you how to do your job
2020-04-09 06:45:42 PM cchase if that's true - you should not need to nor want to constantly tell them what to do
2020-04-09 06:45:54 PM mmclean L don't have anyone telling me what to do, I know what to do
2020-04-09 06:46:04 PM cchase it's not effective time use - to tell others what to do all day
2020-04-09 06:46:23 PM cchase good answer mmclean
2020-04-09 06:46:38 PM mmclean The hardest part for me di
2020-04-09 06:46:47 PM cchase 12. Formal groups are those designated and sanctioned by the organization. These groups possess legitimate power within the organization, and generally are formed to accomplish a designated task or function.
2020-04-09 06:46:49 PM spassa thats my issue... i just do and do and do for my helper really isnt a go getter and is satisfied with medocrer
2020-04-09 06:47:00 PM millermary8 yeah, it's best to give them the tools and guidance to where they can see what to do and get it done
2020-04-09 06:47:24 PM cchase Informal groups are ones created by employees themselves, not sanctioned by the organization. These groups can be created around a work place issue (interest groups) or an activity outside the work place (friendship groups).
2020-04-09 06:48:03 PM mandyo I tell my staff that mmclean. They know their job so I will be available to help if needed and step in when things need to be redirected.
2020-04-09 06:48:19 PM mmclean is telling someone else to do, my supervisor relies on me to delagate, i'm used to doing not telling, but i'm getting better
2020-04-09 06:48:28 PM cchase when I offer a position to someone - I only want a person that can take the ground running
2020-04-09 06:48:46 PM cchase without looking over his/her shoulder for the next step
2020-04-09 06:48:56 PM spassa thats the person i would love to have in department
2020-04-09 06:49:03 PM millermary8 yes, it's very helpful to have people that can just go get it done
2020-04-09 06:49:12 PM cchase so delegating is like dividing the work
2020-04-09 06:49:23 PM mandyo I hired my assistant in November and I feel like she hit the ground running. She has done a great job stepping up during this virus
2020-04-09 06:49:29 PM cchase assigning parts of the whole to others to get it done
2020-04-09 06:49:31 PM millermary8 a few on my team are too stressed right now and hesitating and faltering more
2020-04-09 06:49:49 PM cchase good fo you mandy
