2020-07-16 07:50:05 PM brittanyanne24 i agree lol
2020-07-16 07:50:05 PM feliciasuominen agreed haha
2020-07-16 07:50:06 PM racheldonohoue I use to be an assistant with two others and our director. I guess we were kinda spoiled lol
2020-07-16 07:50:06 PM ehorton yes
2020-07-16 07:50:07 PM paula12 i agree
2020-07-16 07:50:10 PM balvarez yep LOL
2020-07-16 07:50:15 PM ehorton like alot
2020-07-16 07:50:20 PM tshaw ok was wondering...since i am a male i will be working with the male secure unit as activity director
2020-07-16 07:50:25 PM feliciasuominen i could definitely use an assistant!
2020-07-16 07:50:33 PM laceyh22 219999 you aren't alone, you're taking these courses, and you have all of us to reach out to if you need help. didn't the past AD train you at all?
2020-07-16 07:50:43 PM dianemgonzalez Im the only one at skilled nursing, I have a assistant at the AL
2020-07-16 07:50:55 PM deneehough Our activities department has 1 AD and 6 Activity Assistants. We have a 160 bed NH and a 40 bed Personal care and 24 bed Memory Care that we run activities for.
2020-07-16 07:50:58 PM 219999 NO MAMA
2020-07-16 07:51:00 PM laceyh22 it just takes some time to gain the confidence because trust me - when i took over, i was L O S T too
2020-07-16 07:51:01 PM paula12 i guess im spoiled
2020-07-16 07:51:05 PM tshaw The assistant will work with the female units and the other director will work with the general population
2020-07-16 07:51:22 PM laceyh22 you're the only person in your department?
2020-07-16 07:51:23 PM racheldonohoue tshaw, that's interesting that you are in charge of a male unit. I've never heard of that!
2020-07-16 07:51:35 PM susandziegenbein I see that a lot of y'all are by yourself. I would think as others are revaluating thier careers due to covid. I'm taking this course in case things go south for me at work. I suppose there will be an influx of new workers in AL and SNF
2020-07-16 07:51:38 PM paula12 me either
2020-07-16 07:52:03 PM vgreen Those of you that are going it alone for a 7 day week job, you must talk to your administrators and get more hours for other staff in your department, let them know it is seriously needed.
2020-07-16 07:52:18 PM laceyh22 it baffles me because we have 110 residents and 5 people. woah.
2020-07-16 07:52:20 PM tshaw i have bonded with the residents on the 2 male units so it get them more active
2020-07-16 07:52:21 PM balvarez Agreed
2020-07-16 07:52:33 PM ehorton i have no one wants to work for 9- 10 an hour
2020-07-16 07:52:34 PM sandishell19 I have been the AD assistant through two directors, I have learned alot from both
2020-07-16 07:52:48 PM lstokes that is a lot of residents for just 2 people
2020-07-16 07:52:49 PM deneehough tshaw what kinda of facility do you work in?
2020-07-16 07:53:17 PM racheldonohoue I've heard of STNAs taking over weekend duty for Directors. But it sounds like a lot of you work 7 days a week!
2020-07-16 07:53:19 PM tshaw we are more of a behavioral psych nursing home
2020-07-16 07:53:31 PM tshaw total of 6 halls
2020-07-16 07:53:41 PM 219999 I WORK IN A SHORT TERM
2020-07-16 07:53:42 PM laceyh22 i want to know how you guys deal, because our state requires us to have evening activities at least 3 days per week. that requires at least one other staff member to assist
2020-07-16 07:53:58 PM lstokes thats intresting tshaw
2020-07-16 07:54:12 PM paula12 we dont have evening activities
2020-07-16 07:54:21 PM ehorton no evening
2020-07-16 07:54:22 PM cmckinny actualy i dont weekends but all department heads have MOD duty every 6 weeks
2020-07-16 07:54:22 PM bethaldrich5 I work in a 53 bed facility and before COVID it was me 5 days a week with an assitant to cover weekends and to cover Tuesdays for me to get office stuff done and attend care plan meetings. Now that COVID has become real life our administor gave me a full time assitant due to the increasing need of one on ones and assitance on the floor.
2020-07-16 07:54:25 PM laceyh22 activities during the day - 7 times per week, 3 evenings a week
2020-07-16 07:54:36 PM laceyh22 7 days per week, lol
2020-07-16 07:54:37 PM ehorton we are supposed to
2020-07-16 07:54:38 PM balvarez We have activities in the evenings
2020-07-16 07:54:41 PM deneehough Yes ours is at least 3 days a week also, but we typically have evenings scheduled 7 days a week per our resident council request.
2020-07-16 07:54:50 PM brittanyanne24 one thing i do is make diffrent themed packets with trivia, fun facts, word searches and other stuff for them to do in their rooms
2020-07-16 07:55:01 PM ehorton but they can't seem to find anyone for the assistant position
2020-07-16 07:55:13 PM paula12 i do packets to
2020-07-16 07:55:13 PM laceyh22 all of our residents are in bed by 7:30 anyways, so it didnt make sense to have evening activities
2020-07-16 07:55:19 PM ehorton brittany ...i do same
2020-07-16 07:55:32 PM terrycierra thanks for the great convo all
2020-07-16 07:55:34 PM balvarez I also get a few of the independent residents to help me out if they are willing to
2020-07-16 07:55:38 PM bethaldrich5 We tried evening activites in our facility and documented the serious lack in participation and stopped doing them. We havent done them in a few years.
2020-07-16 07:55:40 PM terrycierra left the chat room
2020-07-16 07:55:45 PM brittanyanne24 I have been doing ones on old TV shows and they love it
2020-07-16 07:55:53 PM vgreen I list movies after dinner, it works
2020-07-16 07:56:09 PM paula12 i do that to with movies
2020-07-16 07:56:12 PM stargie69 we did tried late Pajama bingo
2020-07-16 07:56:18 PM 219999 I THINK THE WAY MY JOB IS DOING MY POSITION I THINK THEY ARE WAITING ON ME TO GET MY CERTIFICATION
2020-07-16 07:56:21 PM dianemgonzalez Receptionist puts on a sittercise, sing a long or comedy video
2020-07-16 07:56:21 PM racheldonohoue I always wondered that too. The majority of the residents I used to work with were normally ready for bed, and seemed like I would bother them to do an activity.. I tried explaining that to my Director but she wouldn't listen and just said we had to.
2020-07-16 07:57:19 PM cmckinny i put on calander IA (independent Activies) for evening, such as a movie on tv, call a loved one , fill out a prayer card ect at least something is posted for those who want to do something.
2020-07-16 07:57:20 PM laceyh22 my AD was that way, then she went on maternity leave... and i expressed my concerns to the DON and admin.
2020-07-16 07:57:36 PM susandziegenbein Are they required to participate in activities if they don' t want to?
2020-07-16 07:57:43 PM brittanyanne24 no
2020-07-16 07:57:45 PM balvarez Theres a lot of my resident not interested in evening activities as well. I have found that garden club is a good one in the evenings.
2020-07-16 07:57:48 PM laceyh22 no, just have to document a refusal
2020-07-16 07:57:49 PM paula12 no
2020-07-16 07:57:50 PM tshaw no they are not just document
2020-07-16 07:57:51 PM brittanyanne24 you can ot force them
2020-07-16 07:57:54 PM ehorton shouldnt be some people are interverts
2020-07-16 07:57:55 PM dianemgonzalez no
2020-07-16 07:57:57 PM brittanyanne24 can not
2020-07-16 07:58:03 PM dianemgonzalez always their choice
2020-07-16 07:58:08 PM stargie69 no , they have right to say No
2020-07-16 07:58:12 PM susandziegenbein Got it!
2020-07-16 07:58:14 PM balvarez no
2020-07-16 07:58:17 PM cmckinny yes their choice
2020-07-16 07:58:19 PM vgreen Sometimes we have higher functioning younger people that do no go to bed at 7PM and I have them put a evening activity together they want, like games, pizza, mock cocktails. whatever they want. It is not always successful, but it was put out there and done to make them happy
2020-07-16 07:58:21 PM laceyh22 resident rights, must ask, must say yes. can't just steal them without asking - state will tag
2020-07-16 07:58:29 PM deneehough Always their choice, our residents really enjoy evening activitites
2020-07-16 07:58:36 PM tshaw agreed with lacyh22
2020-07-16 07:58:41 PM racheldonohoue No they don't have to. Buut our administrator would get upset and say we weren't trying hard enough when the documents showed only one or two residents participating.
2020-07-16 07:59:03 PM 219999 WHAT DOB YALL DO FOR HAPPY HOUR
2020-07-16 07:59:18 PM balvarez I always try to encourage it, but some people just dont like to do activties.
2020-07-16 07:59:20 PM laceyh22 happy hour?
2020-07-16 07:59:30 PM 219999 YES
2020-07-16 07:59:32 PM laceyh22 we aren't allowed to give alcohol without a perscription lol
2020-07-16 07:59:34 PM stargie69 movie and popcorn
2020-07-16 07:59:35 PM bethaldrich5 We do Happy hour every friday. We find fun mocktails to serve with a small snack.
2020-07-16 07:59:42 PM laceyh22 oh mocktails hahah
2020-07-16 07:59:42 PM paula12 we do mock cocktails
2020-07-16 07:59:48 PM balvarez Snacks, popcorn, popcicles.
2020-07-16 07:59:49 PM sandishell19 Snacks, drinks and music
2020-07-16 07:59:50 PM dianemgonzalez mocktails
2020-07-16 08:00:02 PM cmckinny we also do happy hour, with snacks and music
2020-07-16 08:00:14 PM racheldonohoue Some evenings I did "Wine and Words." Social wine hour, and we would do some kind of word game like a crossword puzzle or maybe solving riddles. They loved it!
2020-07-16 08:00:25 PM tshaw lol no happy hour...alot of our resident where alcohol depence cause dementia
2020-07-16 08:00:30 PM deneehough We have a variety of drinks available non and alcohol, snacks and some sort of entertainment. Music, games...
2020-07-16 08:00:33 PM stargie69 rootbeer float
2020-07-16 08:00:33 PM susandziegenbein Perhaps a disco ball with those mcoktails
2020-07-16 08:00:35 PM feliciasuominen since we are a rehab center most are in too much pain to participate in fun activities :( they are usually more focused on rehab and getting better! Its so hard to encourage but i do break thru most of the time!
2020-07-16 08:00:46 PM laceyh22 i am a rehab facility too
2020-07-16 08:00:48 PM bethaldrich5 Virgin margs. Pina Cooladas. etc. The residents are so funny no matter how many times you say that are virgin or mocktails they say "I can only have one or I wont be able to make it back to my room" another always says "ohhh you make the good ones for me" with a wink. haha
2020-07-16 08:00:53 PM lstokes Good chat everyone...Thank you for particiipating!!!

2020-07-16 08:01:33 PM stargie69 left the chat room
2020-07-16 08:01:35 PM racheldonohoue I feel like if you are unable to do an "activity", just your presence and spending time with the resident is activity enough (L)
2020-07-16 08:01:35 PM susandziegenbein I'm still interested in chatting with you Lacey if you are
2020-07-16 08:01:42 PM bethaldrich5 Goodnight everyone! Thank you.

2020-07-16 08:02:52 PM laceyh22 i am the assistant currently
2020-07-16 08:02:58 PM racheldonohoue left the chat room
2020-07-16 08:03:11 PM laceyh22 i was acting activity director while my AD was on leave
2020-07-16 08:03:32 PM 219999 IM BUT NO ONE IS TRAINING ME AT ALL I DONT KNW THE SYSTEM YET
2020-07-16 08:03:57 PM laceyh22 have they introduced you to the charting system, 21999?
2020-07-16 08:04:17 PM laceyh22 thats one of the most important part of the job, in my opinion
2020-07-16 08:04:17 PM 219999 NOT AT ALL NOTHING
2020-07-16 08:04:31 PM susandziegenbein Cool. I'm currently in a position where I've been for 11 years as an activity director for a YMCA. I'm concerned that if things keep shutting down I needed to start a new career path. Do you feel that this course will have someone ready to be an activity director without ever working in a facility prior?
2020-07-16 08:04:48 PM lstokes your welcome
2020-07-16 08:05:10 PM laceyh22 do you have access to the programs? for instance, ours is pcc.
2020-07-16 08:05:14 PM 219999 IM JUST SITTING
2020-07-16 08:05:46 PM susandziegenbein However, I have a ton of experience with programming and colloborating with others in the community
2020-07-16 08:05:48 PM laceyh22 susan - i think so far, this course is meant for those looking to be certified by the state. i do think it could help, but you would definitely need to be trained on the system
2020-07-16 08:06:04 PM 219999 NO I NEED THE WEBSITE
2020-07-16 08:06:37 PM laceyh22 and that's perfect experience to transfer into the nursing population
2020-07-16 08:06:49 PM vgreen The PCC system is not difficult at all. We spend most of out time in one section. So easy to learn and get familiar with.
2020-07-16 08:07:03 PM laceyh22 okay - so your next step, 21999, would be to speak with your administrator
2020-07-16 08:07:08 PM susandziegenbein So, would you say taking an assistant position would be helpful at first?
2020-07-16 08:07:17 PM laceyh22 and ask what program you are to use to document.
2020-07-16 08:07:56 PM laceyh22 most definitely! or even just as an activity aide, so that you can understand what it's like to be in the shoes of your staff
2020-07-16 08:07:56 PM vgreen Have you tried to volunteer first at a nursing home or assisted living?
2020-07-16 08:08:02 PM susandziegenbein My real goal is to get us to weather through Covid and add an adult day care to the program at the YMCA
2020-07-16 08:08:15 PM susandziegenbein Covid won't allow volunteers right now
2020-07-16 08:08:30 PM susandziegenbein Plus I'm working more that full time and taking this course
2020-07-16 08:09:00 PM vgreen nursing homes are still hiring and many are asking for "hospitality Aides" to help. It is a great opportunity and way in.
2020-07-16 08:09:26 PM susandziegenbein Lacey. I understand that. I've worked my way up to a director myself
2020-07-16 08:09:51 PM susandziegenbein vgreen. good idea
2020-07-16 08:09:55 PM laceyh22 at the ymca you're currently working with children correct?
2020-07-16 08:10:05 PM deneehough left the chat room
2020-07-16 08:10:41 PM 219999 most of them have covid
2020-07-16 08:11:11 PM susandziegenbein Lacey. I'm working with children and adult programming. I oversee gymnastics, theater, martial arts, preschool, tennis, dance. Adults do dance, tennis and martial arts
2020-07-16 08:11:37 PM susandziegenbein Oh and art and parents night out
2020-07-16 08:11:49 PM laceyh22 your residents have covid, 21999? oh my word. we don't have a single case. i'm so sorry to hear.
2020-07-16 08:11:50 PM flossie LOL! I was literally just trying to figure out what programming was for the paper in section 2
2020-07-16 08:12:26 PM laceyh22 okay, so you do have a lot of transferrable experience - i think you would be okay.
2020-07-16 08:12:42 PM vgreen susandziegenbein are you hands on or over seeing the program that offers all that?
2020-07-16 08:13:03 PM susandziegenbein I also put together community events and colloborate with other business and also do major fundraising
2020-07-16 08:13:08 PM laceyh22 very good point vgreen
2020-07-16 08:13:43 PM susandziegenbein I've coached gymnastics for years and taught dance. I oversee a staff of about 18 until covid
2020-07-16 08:14:02 PM laceyh22 in nursing homes, i feel that AD's are expected to be very hands on, involved in most or all activities.
2020-07-16 08:14:08 PM susandziegenbein I'm very hands on with my team
2020-07-16 08:14:35 PM susandziegenbein I've even fill in for all staff when they can't make it in
2020-07-16 08:14:57 PM vgreen susandziegenbein You sound like a great delagoter and organizer, that is a plus, but even better is the ability to be in the "trenches" of an activity group of varied people and abilities.
2020-07-16 08:15:10 PM flossie left the chat room
2020-07-16 08:15:18 PM susandziegenbein I'll even clean up puke! Ha!
2020-07-16 08:15:50 PM vgreen susandziegenbein Ahh, you will do fine. Don't add any more worries.
2020-07-16 08:16:16 PM susandziegenbein My big question is. Will this course have someone ready that doesn't have the lingo and termanology and experience under my belt?
2020-07-16 08:17:04 PM susandziegenbein I reallly hope we make it and I can add this to one of my programs. I'm so invested and have retirement, vacation, benefits and etc... The thought of starting over is hard
2020-07-16 08:17:11 PM lstokes left the chat room
2020-07-16 08:17:50 PM vgreen susandziegenbein You will do fine, all that lingo stuff? Writing progress notes, just a narrative. How you would explain a friend to another person.
2020-07-16 08:17:54 PM susandziegenbein thansk vgreen! That makes me feel better!
2020-07-16 08:19:02 PM vgreen susandziegenbein Sounds like you like people, you like people to be engaged in activity and your creative style in a SNF will blossom.
2020-07-16 08:19:09 PM laceyh22 you will do great! :) the confidence will come in time.
2020-07-16 08:20:07 PM susandziegenbein Great! Thanks so much for the input ladies. I really appreciate it. I kind of feel alone in this schooling process.
2020-07-16 08:20:20 PM 219999 thanks everyone goodnight
2020-07-16 08:20:23 PM susandziegenbein Just a new unknown
2020-07-16 08:20:35 PM laceyh22 of course! we're here for you though!
2020-07-16 08:20:41 PM laceyh22 goodnight 21999
2020-07-16 08:20:47 PM 219999 left the chat room
2020-07-16 08:20:52 PM susandziegenbein Thanks Lacey. Good night all!
2020-07-16 08:20:57 PM vgreen susandziegenbein If you get into a SNF during covid and no group activity is allowed, that will afford you the opportunity to get to know people one to one. Just think about it this way, you have a lot of people to visit with.
2020-07-16 08:21:28 PM susandziegenbein Yes. Thanks vgreen! Good thought!
2020-07-16 08:21:46 PM laceyh22 oh that is very true! plenty of time to get to know the residents.
2020-07-16 08:22:20 PM susandziegenbein Well...hopefully all will go well and I can add an adult day care to the YMCA!
2020-07-16 08:22:27 PM vgreen susandziegenbein Good luck, hopefully will be able to chat another weekly chat thingy
2020-07-16 08:22:47 PM laceyh22 i'll pray and send my good vibes out for you and your situation! ♥
2020-07-16 08:22:54 PM susandziegenbein Yes! thanks y'all. Have a great night!
