2020-07-21 07:07:34 PM rsmale ALL ABOUT ME
2020-07-21 07:07:45 PM melveniag I work on a dementia unit
2020-07-21 07:07:53 PM gracepadua Seems like the smaller the community the better, often times. Is that accurate?
2020-07-21 07:07:54 PM carilyngesicki enter the chat room
2020-07-21 07:08:03 PM sherryllincoln My dtr worked in a facility with an ice cream parlor, movie theatre and gift shops
2020-07-21 07:08:06 PM gracepadua As far as personalization of service goes.
2020-07-21 07:08:10 PM michelled We lost our dementia unit to short term rehab
2020-07-21 07:08:15 PM tabithapurcell it is an assesment that we complete upon admission talking about resident's hobbies, background and culture
2020-07-21 07:08:19 PM ehorton sounds nice
2020-07-21 07:08:29 PM dldoss It's an awesome setup, but can you imagine COVID-19 in that environment.I'm actually comforted by our locked units because of the separation.
2020-07-21 07:08:30 PM sierrafannin Sherry I also worked at a facility with those features
2020-07-21 07:08:32 PM carilyngesicki I wok on the ementia unit also
2020-07-21 07:08:32 PM sabrina08 I work in a small community and I feel that we are able to offer a more home like setting
2020-07-21 07:08:36 PM melveniag in deed
2020-07-21 07:08:37 PM rsmale i have PCC assessment
2020-07-21 07:08:43 PM melh yes care plans should be personalized as each persons needs and desires are different
2020-07-21 07:08:51 PM sherryllincoln Wooster?
2020-07-21 07:09:01 PM tabithapurcell we keep these assesments at the nurses stations so nursing staff can refrence them if needed.
2020-07-21 07:09:11 PM rsmale thats cool
2020-07-21 07:09:13 PM cmckinny care plans i learn so much last weeik
2020-07-21 07:09:14 PM sierrafannin No, it was The Inn at University Village in Massillon
2020-07-21 07:09:22 PM tabithapurcell careplans should be very personalized, i agree
2020-07-21 07:09:29 PM carilyngesicki We really do not get to see the assessments
2020-07-21 07:09:29 PM rsmale can you send a copy to my email i am interested
2020-07-21 07:09:35 PM lstokes I think that smaller communites are able to have more of a home culture for their residents
2020-07-21 07:09:38 PM careyjeff WHATS TOPIC?
2020-07-21 07:09:39 PM sherryllincoln K, I know where that is!

2020-07-21 07:09:51 PM rsmale culture change
2020-07-21 07:09:57 PM melh culture is the topic
2020-07-21 07:09:59 PM tabithapurcell sometimes i look at the former AD's careplan and they are so generic
2020-07-21 07:10:01 PM carilyngesicki yes culture change
2020-07-21 07:10:02 PM sierrafannin It also had an independent living side
2020-07-21 07:10:03 PM tshaw yes they have to..it help with our residents.
2020-07-21 07:10:14 PM sherryllincoln I've done home care at the condo's there

2020-07-21 07:10:51 PM cmckinny yes it is , it the special chat
2020-07-21 07:10:59 PM tabithapurcell but thats how things were done even 5 years ago, putting people in catergories "low functioning"
2020-07-21 07:11:01 PM melveniag memory care unit is a challenge for me
2020-07-21 07:11:03 PM tshaw how do we let the professor know we attend the live chat
2020-07-21 07:11:03 PM sierrafannin What Kinds of things can we do to make culture changing as easy as possible?
2020-07-21 07:11:06 PM tshaw tongight
2020-07-21 07:11:06 PM melh culture change now is they aree treated with respect, dignity
2020-07-21 07:11:09 PM gracepadua As far as culture change goes, I would like to see more cooperation between life enrichment staff and nursing staff/caregivers. Any tips on improving this?
2020-07-21 07:11:14 PM carilyngesicki What do you want CNA's to buy into
2020-07-21 07:11:22 PM careyjeff AND NURSES TRUE
2020-07-21 07:11:37 PM gracepadua Sierra, I think culture change happens from the top down. The leadership have to take initiative.
2020-07-21 07:11:45 PM santonya there mean or to busy
2020-07-21 07:11:48 PM careyjeff Got to chamge physical environment
2020-07-21 07:11:48 PM carilyngesicki That is so right
2020-07-21 07:11:54 PM sherryllincoln Yes and get the nurses on board
2020-07-21 07:11:58 PM ehorton agree
2020-07-21 07:11:59 PM rsmale the fact it is a home their home not a building
2020-07-21 07:12:01 PM tabithapurcell i know this is wishful thinking, but if staffing was better at long term care places the nursing staff would have more time to give resident cenetered care
2020-07-21 07:12:02 PM rsmale not a job
2020-07-21 07:12:05 PM michelled my managment are not nice
2020-07-21 07:12:07 PM gracepadua I think training is important and communities offering a living wage for employees.
2020-07-21 07:12:12 PM rsmale this is peoples lives
2020-07-21 07:12:14 PM melh families being more involved
2020-07-21 07:12:19 PM gracepadua Tabitha absolutely
2020-07-21 07:12:24 PM careyjeff BIG COMPNANIES NEED TO WANT IT
2020-07-21 07:12:24 PM sabrina08 I believe that we must educate them daily!
2020-07-21 07:12:35 PM ehorton yes
2020-07-21 07:12:37 PM sierrafannin I care for each person as if they are like my grandparents. I feel I provide the best care with this mind set
2020-07-21 07:12:38 PM tabithapurcell yes, i agree it is up to the companies!
2020-07-21 07:12:40 PM gracepadua I think my community would attract more adequate staff if they paid more IMO
2020-07-21 07:12:45 PM sabrina08 Be the change you want to see
2020-07-21 07:12:47 PM gracepadua and trained well

2020-07-21 07:12:58 PM rsmale sabrina amen
2020-07-21 07:12:58 PM tabithapurcell wage is an issue for sure.
2020-07-21 07:13:00 PM janinereyesad Yes that true treat them like a loved one
2020-07-21 07:13:02 PM dldoss If you have access to PCC you should be able to see care plans and assessments. PCC can be personalized. So you should discuss with your team regarding what you think would help all of you provide a better quality of life, and have them implement changes to the software. It may also be a simple change of security level.
2020-07-21 07:13:04 PM cmckinny everyone needs to buy in , and understand what it is we are doing to inprove their life or make it as close to the home environmnet as possible
2020-07-21 07:13:14 PM sierrafannin well if you are in the health care field for the money lol
2020-07-21 07:13:18 PM tshaw yes cna dont get paid enough
2020-07-21 07:13:24 PM careyjeff PAY ALWAYS HELPS
2020-07-21 07:13:26 PM 219999 i agree sabrina
2020-07-21 07:13:27 PM tabithapurcell nursing staff tend to think they can do just about anything because they can get a job elsewhere since they are in such demand
2020-07-21 07:13:27 PM rsmale wage is not the issue., in my oppinion
2020-07-21 07:13:31 PM melveniag i know

2020-07-21 07:14:19 PM carilyngesicki you are correct
2020-07-21 07:14:19 PM sabrina08 Some of the cna's work two or three jobs and they are burnt out.
2020-07-21 07:14:19 PM cmckinny agree
2020-07-21 07:14:20 PM rsmale we had aides making amazing money weekend worriors and they didnt stick around even to get the bonus that was offereed
2020-07-21 07:14:23 PM sierrafannin staffing is always an issue

2020-07-21 07:14:46 PM melh team work, same page
2020-07-21 07:14:48 PM janinereyesad I think you know what you signed up for and you agreed to do a job for what ever pay they give you and you said yes
2020-07-21 07:14:49 PM tabithapurcell even in activities it is hard to give every resident the attention they deserve, just not enough hours in the day, not enough staff. but my staff and i try hard
2020-07-21 07:14:54 PM carilyngesicki It's hard to find good CNA's that care about the residents.
2020-07-21 07:15:00 PM rsmale i liked it better when care was 1 to 10
2020-07-21 07:15:05 PM sierrafannin I know our nurses are great helpers at our facility :)

2020-07-21 07:18:03 PM gracepadua I mean I'm not saying it's right that most people are motivated by money, but unfortunately oftentimes it's true. Companies that I've worked for with higher wages tend to have better staff.

2020-07-21 07:19:22 PM careyjeff CNAS SITTING AROUND KILLS ME WHEN THEY COULD BE DOING A SIMPLE ACTIVITY WITH A RESIDENT

2020-07-21 07:20:22 PM carilyngesicki I work as a CNA 3days a week and volunteer w/ activities on Thursdays.
2020-07-21 07:20:29 PM tabithapurcell yes it kills me to when the nursing staff are sitting around and me and my team are running the halls to get residents
2020-07-21 07:20:45 PM tabithapurcell i am going to address it when we can have town halls agian
2020-07-21 07:20:48 PM gracepadua Tabitha, I experience the same thing. Drives me mad.
2020-07-21 07:20:51 PM sierrafannin my biggest pet peve!! be busy or ill find you something to do :)
2020-07-21 07:20:53 PM cmckinny teamwork, we each have 6 /8 rooms and we must turn a form everymorning, we check for issues with the residents and check their room for any issues. our residents look forward to that viste, and we talk about issues we found. families love it and we also must call the family once a week to see if they have any issues.
2020-07-21 07:21:04 PM careyjeff GATHERING RESIDENTS IS OVER HALF THE BATTLE
2020-07-21 07:21:05 PM gracepadua I feel at my wit's end because it's being addressed and still no change.
2020-07-21 07:21:05 PM sabrina08 When I see them sitting around, I normally ask if they would mind giving a hand massage or playing a game with someone. Then I start an activity at the same time. Sometimes it works..sometimes it doesn't but I keep trying
2020-07-21 07:21:25 PM rsmale encourage them by letting them know their job will be easier if residents are in the activity area and not in their room hitting the call light
