2020-07-21 07:23:36 PM gracepadua Our problem is in memory care where there are no call bells. The caregivers just sit around instead of checking on people in their rooms or enforcing quarantine and COVID is spreading that way.

2020-07-21 07:26:43 PM gracepadua Our nursing manager doesn't give us support, so I no longer expect help from the caregivers.

2020-07-21 07:28:14 PM tabithapurcell but on the topic of culture change, the fact that we are for the most part upset that we can't get help from nursing staff regarding activities shows culture change- we obviously want our residents to enjoy themselves daily
2020-07-21 07:28:25 PM ehorton we went fishing on pation today 2 at a time
2020-07-21 07:28:28 PM sierrafannin Working in Adult day is different than them residing in a facility, so our participants come for the day and then return home when families are off work. I love decorating and making the place feel warm and inviting from the front doors to the back
2020-07-21 07:28:29 PM careyjeff SEEN THAT GRACE

2020-07-21 07:29:41 PM lstokes yes, working in a Adult Day Center is diffrent

2020-07-21 07:31:58 PM tabithapurcell from having a big dining room for activities to doing it in the hall and have therapy,housekeeping,nursing staff come by with their loud carts every 2 minutes (lol)

2020-07-21 07:32:33 PM melh culture change means our foks arent left in a room ignored they are out in the other areas of the home, talked with, involved in activities and decision making They are going out into the community
2020-07-21 07:32:38 PM gracepadua Fear of the unknown really sucks right now. It's not like we have a situation similar to this to compare it to.
2020-07-21 07:32:44 PM michelled housekeeping and the aides tell us we are a pain in the butt to say it nice
2020-07-21 07:32:49 PM kwalton All the fun activites have been cancelled.

2020-07-21 07:34:06 PM tabithapurcell like i said we went from the mindset of "get residents out of their room and socializing" to "they must stay in their rooms but you can do some activities in the hallway"
