2020-08-12 07:16:52 PM jadehsmith only problem with ball toss is you cant disinfect the ball inbetween residents touching it
2020-08-12 07:17:00 PM 16380 We work very closely with MDS, sometimes they ask us about the residents because we spend the most time with them. I do Section B, F. I hate CAAs.
2020-08-12 07:17:04 PM dana1 It is overwhelming reading the other sections of the MDS
2020-08-12 07:17:04 PM kaylazoccole we sit in our chairs in a circle and kick the beach ball we call it chair soccer
2020-08-12 07:17:34 PM pjbell we sanitize after every resident with bleach wipes

2020-08-12 07:23:11 PM pjbell section B Hearing, speech and vision
2020-08-12 07:23:12 PM jadehsmith is anyone else a little confused about mandatory chat sessions? or can someone explain it to me
2020-08-12 07:23:19 PM 16380 Yeah i do section b and f, i find out if the resident has or needs hearing aids or glasses to be able to do activities. If they need a communication board or any means to communicate with staff.
2020-08-12 07:23:49 PM pjbell section C cognition patterns
2020-08-12 07:23:53 PM dana1 Good idea. thanks
2020-08-12 07:23:55 PM jford124 im glad im not the only one that doesnt completely get mandatory chat sessions
2020-08-12 07:24:09 PM rachelordille what are you confused about specifically
2020-08-12 07:24:11 PM 16380 If it goes more into depth like cataract or eye drops then the MDS nurses add to it.
2020-08-12 07:24:12 PM pjbell D mood
2020-08-12 07:24:23 PM dana1 Got it

2020-08-12 07:25:04 PM jadehsmith how do we show we did 4 im sorry im so confused
2020-08-12 07:25:35 PM pjbell it says to write a summary of chat
2020-08-12 07:25:42 PM rachelordille and submit basically a half page summary in the 12 font and double spaced with our heading like the written assignments and submit it under the live chat section
2020-08-12 07:25:57 PM rachelordille does that make sense?
2020-08-12 07:25:58 PM jford124 so we just have to actively chat back and forth about the assigned topic for an hour and we have completed the assignment right?
2020-08-12 07:26:09 PM rachelordille no
2020-08-12 07:26:22 PM rachelordille you have to submit the summary to get credit
2020-08-12 07:26:29 PM pjbell that is for this assignment
2020-08-12 07:26:31 PM jford124 okay i read the part about writing thanks
2020-08-12 07:26:40 PM jadehsmith so subit it like our other assignments that what i read but i wasnt to sure of myself
2020-08-12 07:27:31 PM jadehsmith we summerize what we talked about and then send it in with our topic name right
2020-08-12 07:27:39 PM pjbell do you interview residents or the family
2020-08-12 07:27:55 PM kaylazoccole depending on the cognition
2020-08-12 07:27:57 PM rachelordille yes! i click on the specific live chat date and topic and at the bottom of that page after it describes what the topic is you can upload your half page summary there
2020-08-12 07:28:10 PM rachelordille yes jadehsmith
2020-08-12 07:28:17 PM jford124 so E behaviors is actually a really helpful tab. you can learn a lot about a resident from it
2020-08-12 07:28:21 PM kaylazoccole usually try first with the resident then if i have to talk to family i do that second
2020-08-12 07:28:51 PM rachelordille and yeah pj it varies from resident to resident
2020-08-12 07:28:52 PM jford124 we interview both for our quarterly mds.

2020-08-12 07:29:06 PM rachelordille yeah it never hurts to do both
2020-08-12 07:29:09 PM dana1 I would think the resident but sometimes you will have to get more informtion fromthe family members.
2020-08-12 07:29:10 PM jadehsmith Thank you!
2020-08-12 07:29:38 PM pjbell sometimes they dont know the resident like we do

2020-08-12 07:30:05 PM pjbell readmit no but the rest yes
2020-08-12 07:30:07 PM jford124 yes sometimes you find out differnent things. some times the resident wont complain to you but will tell family. its actually really helpful to do both
2020-08-12 07:30:10 PM jadehsmith family can be helpful but i always try with the resident first
2020-08-12 07:30:19 PM rachelordille and for this chat today who is the moderater who is submitting everyones names for credit

2020-08-12 07:37:37 PM 16380 We are on the 2nd floor and 3rd floor so it will be hard to sneak snacks like that. Window visits are hard as well.
2020-08-12 07:37:50 PM jadehsmith no matter what i do for them its never good enough i was called the C word today
2020-08-12 07:37:55 PM rachelordille yeah i have residents that are like that too, its hard but maybe try to find something you both like

2020-08-12 07:46:03 PM 16380 Our health care center is very strict so we dont allow any visitors. We are trying to work out how to do visits outside. Like parade style.we barely started doing group activities again. so i have to make the calendars again. But with facetimes and hydration carts and 1:1 visits. I am having a hard time making the new schdule. Most of my staff are also CNAs so they get taken advantage of.
2020-08-12 07:46:08 PM pjbell the transporting blah
2020-08-12 07:46:19 PM rachelordille same here my facility is almost allowing small group activities again waiting to hear from corporate
2020-08-12 07:46:41 PM pjbell still 1:1
2020-08-12 07:46:50 PM 16380 Our residnets have definitly declined since all this started.
2020-08-12 07:46:50 PM jadehsmith no groups for us not enough staff
2020-08-12 07:47:00 PM rachelordille its hard to see
2020-08-12 07:47:02 PM dana1 We sit on our patio 6 feet apart
2020-08-12 07:47:06 PM rachelordille ours have too
2020-08-12 07:47:09 PM pjbell fall risks only in day room
2020-08-12 07:47:12 PM jford124 we are 1:1 and some in doorway activities like bingo
2020-08-12 07:47:13 PM jadehsmith in Mass you can have group activities if you are not considered in staff crisis
2020-08-12 07:47:14 PM rachelordille same here dana
2020-08-12 07:47:15 PM kaylazoccole extremely not being able to leave or see families is horrible
2020-08-12 07:47:20 PM 16380 it really shows how much activities makes a difference.
2020-08-12 07:47:28 PM rachelordille especially in dementia patients
2020-08-12 07:47:40 PM jadehsmith we do bingo everyday we pass out bingo numer on the daily activity schedule and give them papers
2020-08-12 07:47:41 PM pjbell my residents are doing so well they are happy
2020-08-12 07:47:42 PM kaylazoccole but activites that allow people to leave and get air too
2020-08-12 07:47:57 PM 16380 what kind of bingo cards do you use?
2020-08-12 07:48:09 PM 16380 our infection preventionist is all over us
2020-08-12 07:48:11 PM pjbell oh outside need that
2020-08-12 07:48:16 PM dana1 Have any of you had to deal with COVID in your community?
2020-08-12 07:48:23 PM 16380 so far no covid
2020-08-12 07:48:24 PM rachelordille i havent luckily
2020-08-12 07:48:31 PM kaylazoccole we have a beautiful courtyard thank god so we have used that on the nice days
2020-08-12 07:48:35 PM pjbell everywhere
2020-08-12 07:48:51 PM jford124 in my community yes. luckily not in our building
2020-08-12 07:48:54 PM jadehsmith i left my last building right before it hit they lost over 30 residents to Covid i knew them they had 108 bed facility
2020-08-12 07:49:03 PM 16380 We have been utilizing the garden on our lanai, patio, more.
2020-08-12 07:49:14 PM jadehsmith i havent had it in my current building yet
2020-08-12 07:49:20 PM rachelordille and i would suggest using cards you can clean with sanitizer, we gave our residents a set of three cards that they keep in their rooms with bags of bingo chips that we collect and clean for them every so often
2020-08-12 07:49:28 PM pjbell so who is using mds for calendar
2020-08-12 07:49:33 PM dana1 We did. I worked on the COVID floor. I ended up taking a course to help as a care giver because we were short staffed.
2020-08-12 07:49:36 PM pjbell laminate them
2020-08-12 07:50:00 PM kaylazoccole yes all of our cards are laminated so we can spray and wipe them
2020-08-12 07:50:09 PM rachelordille same here
2020-08-12 07:50:11 PM 16380 we used to clean the chips and had laminated cards but our IP said that its not good enough.
2020-08-12 07:50:12 PM dana1 You can also print some and toss when done
2020-08-12 07:50:24 PM rachelordille yeah good idea dana
2020-08-12 07:50:26 PM 16380 disposables looks like the way we are going to go
2020-08-12 07:50:31 PM jford124 we print and toss
2020-08-12 07:50:34 PM jadehsmith we pass out printable cards they use a pen or maker to x it off
2020-08-12 07:51:06 PM pjbell its good enough if you use bleach
2020-08-12 07:51:17 PM dana1 Could do that with music bingo as well
2020-08-12 07:51:32 PM 16380 Someone told me that they use the bingo cards that have sliders. You just slide the piece. But you have to get them online.
2020-08-12 07:51:36 PM jford124 music bingo?
2020-08-12 07:51:53 PM pjbell they guess the song
2020-08-12 07:52:01 PM dana1 I got it on Eldersong
2020-08-12 07:52:03 PM jford124 nice
2020-08-12 07:52:10 PM rachelordille oh thats fun
2020-08-12 07:52:30 PM jford124 we have the slider cards. the residents really like them
2020-08-12 07:52:54 PM 16380 Its so hard to call out the numbers wearing the shield and mask. so we use the computer that calls and displays the numbers. We also do have music bingo.
2020-08-12 07:52:58 PM dana1 my favorite activity right now is on the patio playing Finishing The Line
2020-08-12 07:53:04 PM jadehsmith alright good night everyone im going to work on my papers!

2020-08-12 07:54:38 PM dana1 Sorry for the repeat but I missed the speciality chats last week. I wrote a pare on Communicating With Older Adults. Do I need to write another paper?
2020-08-12 07:54:44 PM 16380 That reminds me, we have been using these headsets, called eversound. They really work! you guys should look into them.
2020-08-12 07:54:48 PM dana1 paper
2020-08-12 07:55:06 PM jford124 they are amazing!
2020-08-12 07:55:36 PM dana1 What is eversound?
2020-08-12 07:55:37 PM pjbell regulations i missed 2 page paper on activity regulations?
2020-08-12 07:57:04 PM 16380 They are these headsets that can be used with hearing aids, or without but they amplify everything. They come with a mic and you can speak into it. YOu can use ten at a time. Sometimes residents get distracted. so they come in handy. also you can have silent dance parties.
2020-08-12 07:57:20 PM 16380 or use them for outings.... whenever that is allowed again
2020-08-12 07:57:30 PM 16380 we use them for facetimes too
2020-08-12 07:57:42 PM dana1 expensive?
2020-08-12 07:57:50 PM 16380 yes..lol
