2020-09-30 07:07:29 PM davisr awesome!
2020-09-30 07:07:33 PM sarahwms so...where I work, we are a private pay community, so we don't have to complete the MDS 3.0, so this was all new to me
2020-09-30 07:07:48 PM kathrynlsvec oh snap
2020-09-30 07:07:58 PM davisr Im not going to lie I have no idea what MDS is
2020-09-30 07:08:00 PM sarahwms we do an assessment when the resident moves in, but no where NEAR as detailed as this
2020-09-30 07:08:18 PM sarahwms have you got the Long Term Care book?
2020-09-30 07:08:35 PM kathrynlsvec i didn't realize you don't have to do that. MDS was all new to me when took this position, and it was complicated to learn. i still am learning things.
2020-09-30 07:08:52 PM sarahwms MDS stands for Minimum Data SEt
2020-09-30 07:08:55 PM ghadoiraqiya I work at an Adult day care and we do initial assessments for each one and after 6 months we check up on them to see what is their process
2020-09-30 07:09:10 PM sarahwms but do you do the MDS?
2020-09-30 07:09:16 PM sarahwms that thing is DETAILED
2020-09-30 07:09:30 PM ghadoiraqiya Not that i know of
2020-09-30 07:09:31 PM davisr We only have an inital assess
2020-09-30 07:09:44 PM davisr Ive never heard of MSD googling it now
2020-09-30 07:09:45 PM ghadoiraqiya i just do their careplans and follow up on them
2020-09-30 07:10:22 PM sarahwms do your communities (I hate the term facilities) LOL accept Medicare?
2020-09-30 07:10:27 PM kathrynlsvec So when i have a new resident, i have to do the activity assessment that needs to be pulled over to the MDS. which then will let me know if anything is triggered for activities, which i then have to put in the care plan i build for them. i also have the Preferences of Everyday Living Inventory (PELI) that I have to do, which is 72 questions.
2020-09-30 07:10:54 PM kathrynlsvec yeah, we are a facility for people that have little to nothing.
2020-09-30 07:11:02 PM ghadoiraqiya and also i do my activities for the day which is exercising yoga then bingo and create like family feuds and all that good stuff lol
2020-09-30 07:11:50 PM kathrynlsvec most come from a background of drug or alcohol abuse. which is what brings on the dementia. we are memory care and rehabilitation - not rehab like AA or anything though.
2020-09-30 07:11:52 PM sarahwms so is the MDS in a computer?
2020-09-30 07:11:58 PM ghadoiraqiya i first would go ask the nurse what is their needs then i would put something in their careplans that would help
2020-09-30 07:12:31 PM ghadoiraqiya i get participates that wants to socialize more but also have demantia
2020-09-30 07:12:37 PM kathrynlsvec we get to our mds through a program called Point Click Care (PCC). that is where the nurses do their charting, our business office manages finances, they input insurance, etc.
2020-09-30 07:12:43 PM davisr MSD sounds like a care plan/ initial assessment
2020-09-30 07:12:53 PM sarahwms exactly Robin
2020-09-30 07:12:58 PM ghadoiraqiya we use turbotar
2020-09-30 07:13:04 PM sarahwms again...REALLY detailed
2020-09-30 07:13:30 PM sarahwms we do an assessment, but ours looks like Kindergarten and MDS is College!
2020-09-30 07:13:33 PM sarahwms LOL
2020-09-30 07:13:37 PM kathrynlsvec everyone uploads all their assessments in there. now, only your initial assessment and your annual or significant change assessments get pulled into mds, at least for activities. otherwise our assessments are just quarterly and we don't have to worry about MDS
2020-09-30 07:14:11 PM ghadoiraqiya my assessment is basically what they look forward into the center and what would they like to do thats is pretty much it
2020-09-30 07:14:11 PM sarahwms how often are followup assessments done for each resident?
2020-09-30 07:14:34 PM sarahwms that's ours too Ghadoir
2020-09-30 07:14:41 PM davisr once you put the details into the MSD does it do any analyzing for them? or just stores the data
2020-09-30 07:14:44 PM ghadoiraqiya We do it after 6 months
2020-09-30 07:14:55 PM kathrynlsvec we do them quarterly. but sometimes nursing is trying to recapture something for insurance purposes, so they might do the same resident twice in a month.
2020-09-30 07:15:20 PM ghadoiraqiya for quarterlys is every 3 months
2020-09-30 07:15:27 PM ghadoiraqiya at my center
2020-09-30 07:15:28 PM kathrynlsvec yeah, that's what we do
2020-09-30 07:15:34 PM sarahwms Kathryn, it looks like you're the only one with experience with MDS, so we might pick your brain! SORRY!
2020-09-30 07:15:42 PM kathrynlsvec haha no worries
2020-09-30 07:15:42 PM ghadoiraqiya hahaha
2020-09-30 07:16:05 PM kathrynlsvec i have to run downstairs for a minute, but ask away and i'll check when i get back in a minute
2020-09-30 07:16:29 PM sarahwms I definitely want to know more...just because the community I work in now, doesn't use them, I might work in a community in the future that does!
2020-09-30 07:17:07 PM davisr The MDS Frequency Report summarizes information for residents currently in nursing homes by calendar quarter. The source of these counts is the resident's MDS assessment record. The MDS assessment information for each active nursing home resident is consolidated to create a profile of the most recent standard information for the resident. The data is pulled from the MDS National Data Repository.
2020-09-30 07:17:13 PM sarahwms Is it REALLY 47 pages????
2020-09-30 07:17:40 PM davisr I found this so Im wondering if they move to another facility that uses the MSD can they also see the data
2020-09-30 07:17:54 PM sarahwms good question
2020-09-30 07:18:01 PM ghadoiraqiya i just asked my program director and she said that MDS is used for nursing homes'
2020-09-30 07:18:11 PM sarahwms it would be a shame to have to re do
2020-09-30 07:18:49 PM sarahwms From what I understand, if you accept Medicare, you have to complete the MDS
2020-09-30 07:18:55 PM davisr is it only used in nursing homes?
2020-09-30 07:19:14 PM davisr Some ALF accept medicare
2020-09-30 07:19:15 PM sarahwms no...
2020-09-30 07:19:21 PM ghadoiraqiya im getting more info from her right now to see what it actually is
2020-09-30 07:19:22 PM sarahwms correct
2020-09-30 07:20:00 PM ghadoiraqiya she says its a diagnosis and points to show how much or how little goes into the plan of care
2020-09-30 07:20:07 PM sarahwms so if you want to get paid (by the govt) you have to complete the MDS
2020-09-30 07:20:15 PM davisr We are private pay that might be why I have never heard about it
2020-09-30 07:20:20 PM sarahwms me too
2020-09-30 07:20:29 PM sarahwms and not cheap
2020-09-30 07:20:32 PM sarahwms LOL
2020-09-30 07:20:39 PM davisr LOL
2020-09-30 07:20:51 PM sarahwms where are you located Robin?
2020-09-30 07:20:58 PM davisr Orlando
2020-09-30 07:21:02 PM ghadoiraqiya im not we use medical athem blue cross kaiser and all that but we get some patients that want to do private pay
2020-09-30 07:21:05 PM sarahwms I'm in VA
2020-09-30 07:21:43 PM kathrynlsvec sorry, just reread everyting i missed. we are a nursing and rehab facility so we have to do mds. we take medicare.
2020-09-30 07:22:20 PM davisr OK so if I read it correctly the MSD is only used with medicare?
2020-09-30 07:22:46 PM kathrynlsvec when a new resident comes in, you still have to redo all your assessments and pull all your info into mds, whether the last place they were at had it or not. half the time, we can't get info from them anyway.
2020-09-30 07:22:49 PM sarahwms that's what it looks like, but I can definitely see the benefits of completing them
2020-09-30 07:22:52 PM davisr VA im sure the weather is nice this time of year
2020-09-30 07:23:18 PM sarahwms there is a lot of GOOD info that you can gleam from MDS assessment
2020-09-30 07:23:41 PM sarahwms getting better Robin,...it actually feels like FALL today!
2020-09-30 07:23:48 PM davisr ok so the MSD doesnt store the data for other facilities to see the history
2020-09-30 07:23:53 PM kathrynlsvec honestly, you get a TON of information from them with the assessments. the PELI that i have to do isn't pulled into MDS, but it has 72 questions and it is hard for that not to turn into personal conversations about themselves.
2020-09-30 07:24:08 PM sarahwms I can imagine
2020-09-30 07:24:17 PM sarahwms is the MDS really 47 pages???
2020-09-30 07:24:23 PM ghadoiraqiya we have a book that has all the care plans that we can put it measures functional capacity gait balance ambulatios
2020-09-30 07:24:35 PM kathrynlsvec i could see where it might be if you took everyone's assessments and notes.
2020-09-30 07:24:57 PM sarahwms Do ya'll have the Long Term Care book?
2020-09-30 07:25:10 PM davisr Whats long term care book?
2020-09-30 07:25:15 PM kathrynlsvec but that's 47 pages spanning therapy, dietary, nursing, and activities.
2020-09-30 07:25:18 PM sarahwms in the back of it, there is a copy of the MDS assessement
2020-09-30 07:25:23 PM sarahwms yes
2020-09-30 07:25:34 PM davisr ok so each department has there open spot for the 47 pages
2020-09-30 07:25:38 PM kathrynlsvec oh and social services
2020-09-30 07:25:39 PM ghadoiraqiya ive never seen MDS in any of my books lol im so lost
2020-09-30 07:26:08 PM sarahwms The Long Term Care book was one that was suggested for this course...I bought mine on Amazon and it has definitely helped me
2020-09-30 07:26:25 PM davisr oooo I will order it tonight
2020-09-30 07:26:31 PM kathrynlsvec 47 pages would be if you printed it out. on the computer there are like 5 pages printed for what activities pulls into MDS. not counting what you create for your care plan or PELI.
2020-09-30 07:26:35 PM davisr its called long term care book
2020-09-30 07:26:47 PM sarahwms yes
2020-09-30 07:26:48 PM ghadoiraqiya what did it help you with?
2020-09-30 07:27:12 PM sarahwms green cover with 4 pictures of seniors on it
2020-09-30 07:27:16 PM sarahwms it was $50
2020-09-30 07:27:32 PM kathrynlsvec ohhh is that the one that had the diagnostic intervention grid?
2020-09-30 07:27:36 PM sarahwms yes
2020-09-30 07:28:04 PM sarahwms and it explains the F-tags!!
2020-09-30 07:28:06 PM kathrynlsvec because no one could figure out what that was until someone finally posted that it was in the back of a book that none of us had. :D
2020-09-30 07:28:29 PM davisr the f tags is worth the 50 bucks especially for the exxma
2020-09-30 07:28:32 PM davisr exam
2020-09-30 07:29:36 PM sarahwms yes...it definitely helped me write that assignment paper
2020-09-30 07:29:58 PM davisr I still havent I bipassed it
2020-09-30 07:30:07 PM davisr I am going to do it at the end
2020-09-30 07:30:31 PM sarahwms The book basically follows the same outline and information that is our course, but just goes into more detail than our reading resources
2020-09-30 07:30:38 PM kathrynlsvec i just emailed celeste and asked her what happens after we take the final for this course. do we get any type of cert or is that not till after we do 8 more credits and take the big exam
2020-09-30 07:30:59 PM ghadoiraqiya how long does this discussion need to be?
2020-09-30 07:31:06 PM sarahwms an hour
2020-09-30 07:31:17 PM davisr I have no idea til last night the big exam is 250 dollars
2020-09-30 07:31:20 PM ghadoiraqiya wait so we dont get the cert if we pass this course
2020-09-30 07:31:43 PM kathrynlsvec ghadoir - that is what me and the girl at my sister facility can't figure out. we are both in this course.
2020-09-30 07:32:04 PM sarahwms I think we get a certificate of completion for this course...but won't get the AD certification until we take and pass the NAAPCC exam
2020-09-30 07:32:29 PM sarahwms no...this course just sorta "prepares" you for the exam
2020-09-30 07:32:30 PM davisr You cant take the NAAPCC unless you have the completion of this course
2020-09-30 07:32:32 PM ghadoiraqiya we just need to finish the course so we can work as AD
2020-09-30 07:32:39 PM kathrynlsvec and our higher ups are chomping at the bit for us to get certified so it's probably going to be longer than they wanted to wait.
2020-09-30 07:32:40 PM sarahwms correct Robin
2020-09-30 07:33:12 PM sarahwms no Ghadoir...you have to take the certification exam from NAAPCC
2020-09-30 07:33:30 PM ghadoiraqiya ooooh i didnt know that
2020-09-30 07:33:33 PM ghadoiraqiya maan
2020-09-30 07:33:39 PM sarahwms yea...I just lost a promotion because I wasn't certified
2020-09-30 07:33:47 PM kathrynlsvec yeah, my bosses won't be happy about that.
2020-09-30 07:34:10 PM davisr what i dont know is if the naapcc is online
2020-09-30 07:34:22 PM sarahwms I believe so Robin
2020-09-30 07:34:32 PM sarahwms But I do think it is times
2020-09-30 07:34:35 PM sarahwms timed
2020-09-30 07:34:38 PM kathrynlsvec i wonder if you have to go to a state testing facility for it.
2020-09-30 07:34:47 PM kathrynlsvec or if you just do it on your own computer
2020-09-30 07:35:00 PM ghadoiraqiya i was just a receptionist at my center then my boss so me that i was so close the the participants that she wants me to be the AD she was like get the cert and she will be certain
2020-09-30 07:35:02 PM sarahwms I was told to ensure that you were in a quiet place and on a computer that you were familiar with
2020-09-30 07:35:27 PM sarahwms so I took it to mean from home
2020-09-30 07:35:36 PM kathrynlsvec yeah, that's how i would take that too.
2020-09-30 07:35:49 PM davisr i hope my boss had to go to a testing facility
2020-09-30 07:35:52 PM sarahwms 1 1/2 hours and over 100 questions
2020-09-30 07:36:09 PM ghadoiraqiya i mean i think it would be at home because which school do we go to take the exam
2020-09-30 07:36:11 PM sarahwms with COVID everything has changed
2020-09-30 07:36:40 PM davisr which could be used to our advantage being home
2020-09-30 07:36:44 PM sarahwms I know before COVID you had to go somewhere to earn your LIVE CEU's...
2020-09-30 07:36:56 PM sarahwms now you just have to join the LIVE chats
2020-09-30 07:37:22 PM ghadoiraqiya like where do we go when where are in different states lol
2020-09-30 07:37:49 PM vjs313 enter the chat room
2020-09-30 07:38:06 PM kathrynlsvec hey we have 5 people!!
2020-09-30 07:38:07 PM sarahwms So Kathryn, do you have access to ALL of the info in MDS for your residents?
2020-09-30 07:38:12 PM sarahwms YEAH!!
2020-09-30 07:38:31 PM sarahwms vjs313...you here for the MDS 3.0 chat?
2020-09-30 07:39:16 PM kathrynlsvec most likely. i have never tried to log into anyone else's section. just section F for activities and section V to see if Activities was triggered for "lack of interest in activities", and if it is, i have to put it into the care plan.
2020-09-30 07:39:50 PM sarahwms do you write your activity programming?
2020-09-30 07:39:56 PM davisr Kathryn are you already a AD
2020-09-30 07:40:03 PM sarahwms how many residents do you have?
2020-09-30 07:40:17 PM davisr we have 80
2020-09-30 07:40:52 PM kathrynlsvec my team and i come up with our own calendars and i help write the care plants. we have 145
2020-09-30 07:40:58 PM kathrynlsvec we top out at 160
2020-09-30 07:41:11 PM sarahwms we have 130...but that's across the building. We have IL (Independent Living), AL (Assisted Living) and MC (Memory Care)
2020-09-30 07:41:29 PM kathrynlsvec i am, pending this certification.
2020-09-30 07:41:37 PM sarahwms we have a max capacity of 185
2020-09-30 07:41:43 PM ghadoiraqiya our center hold about 30 people for now we are trying to get more participants to join
2020-09-30 07:41:45 PM kathrynlsvec we are all memory care, plus two locked units: psych and advanced dementia
2020-09-30 07:41:47 PM sarahwms cool!
2020-09-30 07:41:57 PM davisr We have AL and MC and they are building an IL across the street
2020-09-30 07:42:20 PM sarahwms Memory care is really hard....I don't know that I could do that every day!
2020-09-30 07:42:42 PM ghadoiraqiya do you guys make ur calendars
2020-09-30 07:42:57 PM ghadoiraqiya what kind of activities do you do
2020-09-30 07:43:05 PM sarahwms My old boss just left to work in a hospital with Geriatric Psych patients
2020-09-30 07:43:17 PM sarahwms I help make ours....
2020-09-30 07:43:40 PM kathrynlsvec i love memory care. honestly, i don't think i ever want to work with any other population. especially considering where most of them came from. they didnt ever have much, so most are grateful for what we do.
2020-09-30 07:43:46 PM sarahwms I LOVE my IL residents!!
2020-09-30 07:44:46 PM sarahwms I guess because ours are self pay, it makes a difference....you're talking 5 - 7 thousand a month
2020-09-30 07:44:57 PM sarahwms out of pocket
2020-09-30 07:45:11 PM kathrynlsvec many of our residents dont have families, and if they do, they aren't very involved. so we become their family.. it's pretty incredible. not that that doesn't happen elsewhere. just a lot of our people have no one.
2020-09-30 07:45:12 PM sarahwms no insurance...unless it
2020-09-30 07:45:24 PM sarahwms it is private long term care
2020-09-30 07:45:53 PM ghadoiraqiya do you guys have any advice for being an AD because im only 20 years lol and dont have the experience with elders
2020-09-30 07:46:13 PM sarahwms i love our MC residents too...have watched many of them start out in either IL or AL and decline
2020-09-30 07:46:22 PM sarahwms I just can't do it everyday
2020-09-30 07:46:56 PM sarahwms but dementia runs in both sides of my family, so I guess there's alot of internal stuff there too
2020-09-30 07:47:00 PM kathrynlsvec yeah, it definitely can get tough when you have the same resident ask you the same question for the 20th time, every single day you work. (lol)
2020-09-30 07:47:07 PM sarahwms LOL
2020-09-30 07:47:49 PM sarahwms I keep telling the nursing staff....be nice to me, cause I'll be your patient in a few years! and I can make your life living hell! LOL
2020-09-30 07:48:23 PM sarahwms Ghadoira, treat them with respect....
2020-09-30 07:48:26 PM ghadoiraqiya LOL i have a participant that would ask me what game are we playing in BINGO like more than 30 times haha today he kept asking me i wrote down for him and put by him haha they are all so sweet
2020-09-30 07:49:00 PM ghadoiraqiya forsureee i loveee them im helping them like they are my own parents
2020-09-30 07:49:02 PM sarahwms and have LOTS OF PATIENCE!!!
2020-09-30 07:49:05 PM kathrynlsvec i think the biggest thing when i first started working with the senior population (i was 15 working in an IL dining room) was to just talk to them like you would talk to anyone. most of them love to hear about your life. it also depends on the type of senior population youre working with. i hadn't worked with completely memory care before this job. i had to desensitize myself a little.
2020-09-30 07:49:40 PM sarahwms I've yet to find a way to do that....I bawl everytime we lose someone
2020-09-30 07:49:44 PM ghadoiraqiya the most hardest thing is that the population is mostly veitnames and hard to understand what they need
2020-09-30 07:50:04 PM sarahwms use picture cards
2020-09-30 07:50:06 PM ghadoiraqiya we lose 3 people doing the shut down of the covid in march
2020-09-30 07:50:12 PM davisr aww that can be hard with the language barrier
2020-09-30 07:50:21 PM davisr we did as well
2020-09-30 07:50:31 PM ghadoiraqiya yeaaaah thats so difficult
2020-09-30 07:50:34 PM davisr That was hard
2020-09-30 07:50:38 PM sarahwms we have one lady that is totally deaf....so we either use pictures or a white board with her
2020-09-30 07:50:41 PM kathrynlsvec there was a module in the course i took the last time. she had us come up with a picture card that they could point to almost everything.

2020-09-30 07:51:06 PM ghadoiraqiya one sweet veitnamese lady was like singing a song but i thought she was trying to tell me something holding my hand and walking around she was sooo sweet today
2020-09-30 07:51:08 PM kathrynlsvec that would be good for you i think. there was an "i feel" section, an "i want" section, etc
2020-09-30 07:51:08 PM sarahwms stepha630..have you done the MDS 3.0 chat yet?
2020-09-30 07:51:19 PM davisr Off topic does anyone have any good ideas for halloween crafts
2020-09-30 07:51:31 PM sarahwms we just did door decorations

2020-09-30 07:52:05 PM kathrynlsvec because i'm on it literally every day finding things. or are you on facebook? join the activity director groups.
2020-09-30 07:52:09 PM ghadoiraqiya their own designs
2020-09-30 07:52:26 PM davisr awesome I had no idea we had facebook groups
2020-09-30 07:52:35 PM davisr thats awesome ill look into it
2020-09-30 07:52:41 PM sarahwms oriental trading is also a good source for crafts
2020-09-30 07:52:41 PM kathrynlsvec it never occured to me either, until i went to a conference.
2020-09-30 07:53:03 PM ghadoiraqiya you can do family fued what can you find in a haunted house
2020-09-30 07:53:21 PM kathrynlsvec just search activity director in groups. there are ones where they share just their calendars, some where they are helping with covid stuff, some that are just to sshare crafts. it's awesome.
2020-09-30 07:53:21 PM davisr Thats a good one
2020-09-30 07:53:36 PM davisr awesome thank you kathryn\
2020-09-30 07:53:38 PM sarahwms I do a card craft every month...although this month the kit was goodie treat bags
2020-09-30 07:53:56 PM sarahwms so I'll probably just make them myself and hand them out to the residents
2020-09-30 07:54:04 PM kathrynlsvec we made a "spider" out of mega stuff oreos last year. we took pretzel sticks for legs, a dollop of icing on the top with two MMs for eyes, and candy corn for teeth. they LOVED it.
2020-09-30 07:54:08 PM ghadoiraqiya omgg thats good idea because we do delivers once a week and we give out food and activity packets
2020-09-30 07:54:17 PM sarahwms we normally have a local Kindergarten come in to trick or treat, but with COVID, we can't this year
2020-09-30 07:54:45 PM kathrynlsvec yeah, we have been trying to figure out what to do to make the holidays special. starting with halloween. because none of our volunteers or kids can come in
2020-09-30 07:54:52 PM davisr Love the spider idea ill add that to our calendar
2020-09-30 07:54:54 PM sarahwms I'm trying to think of something that I can deliver from our residents
2020-09-30 07:55:15 PM ghadoiraqiya you can do activity packets with a goodie bag
2020-09-30 07:55:45 PM davisr I think we are going to line the residents around our building 6 feet and have a custome parade
2020-09-30 07:55:50 PM ghadoiraqiya like coloring pages sudoks and make sure you have some poses of exercise if they are home and cant come to center
2020-09-30 07:56:06 PM ghadoiraqiya thats a good idea Robin
2020-09-30 07:56:14 PM sarahwms yeah!
2020-09-30 07:56:33 PM sarahwms are yall doing anything for I Love Lucy day?
2020-09-30 07:56:42 PM kathrynlsvec i didnt see that day!!!

2020-09-30 07:57:31 PM kathrynlsvec my peeps constantly watch the golden girls, rosanne, and kardashians
2020-09-30 07:57:34 PM kathrynlsvec hahahahaha
2020-09-30 07:57:36 PM sarahwms we are doing several photo ops...one with a galvanized bucket and balloons (grapes)
2020-09-30 07:57:46 PM kathrynlsvec thats cute!
2020-09-30 07:58:05 PM davisr LOOOOOVE that
2020-09-30 07:58:09 PM sarahwms one with the chocolate factory theme....using an ironing board as a conveyor belt
2020-09-30 07:58:10 PM kathrynlsvec i love that you have a theater room. do you guys pay the licensing fee to show movies?
2020-09-30 07:58:23 PM sarahwms not sure....
2020-09-30 07:58:31 PM davisr GREAT IDEA I might have to steal that idea
2020-09-30 07:58:44 PM sarahwms we show them twice a day...just rent them from Netflix or the library
2020-09-30 07:58:52 PM sarahwms it's on Pinterest
2020-09-30 07:59:30 PM davisr I think that would be so cute I wonder where we can get the white chef hat she wears in it
2020-09-30 07:59:46 PM kathrynlsvec we don't have a theater room, but our corporate offices made us stop showing anything because unless you have licensing from the motion picture association (i think?) you can be fined because you are doing a public showing in their eyes. even if it is within a nursing home. it's so dumb.
2020-09-30 07:59:59 PM sarahwms I'm sure Amazon would have one
2020-09-30 08:00:13 PM kathrynlsvec they might have one at GFS if you have those near you
2020-09-30 08:00:21 PM sarahwms that's crazy kathryn....
2020-09-30 08:01:06 PM sarahwms maybe corporate pays it? not sure!
2020-09-30 08:01:13 PM kathrynlsvec yeah, the residents were NOT happy when we stopped having movies
2020-09-30 08:01:18 PM davisr Thats crazy like you cant show any movies?
2020-09-30 08:01:35 PM kathrynlsvec nope, no movies. no netflix, no rentals, not even if you purchase the dvd yourself.
2020-09-30 08:01:50 PM sarahwms I can imagine! We've had to limit our capacity to 10 and that pissed ours off
2020-09-30 08:01:56 PM ghadoiraqiya whaaaaaat why not we always watch movies on fridays
2020-09-30 08:02:00 PM davisr WOW I
2020-09-30 08:02:18 PM sarahwms our bulb was burnt out for about a wee and they would ask me EVERY DAY if it was fixed yet
2020-09-30 08:02:48 PM sarahwms it's THEIR home....doesn't make sense!!
2020-09-30 08:03:01 PM davisr exactly
2020-09-30 08:03:03 PM kathrynlsvec i guess the motion picture association or whatever used to turn a blind eye to nursing homes and gave them a pass. but because we show them in a public location of the home, it's considered a public viewing, which is what the warning tells you at the beginning of all movies.
2020-09-30 08:03:25 PM davisr not of netflix
2020-09-30 08:04:36 PM davisr Im going to sign off
2020-09-30 08:04:39 PM kathrynlsvec it's for all movies unfortunately. we were told even netflix. i was at a conference in february and they passed out leaflets on how we could apply for the ability to watch movies again ( i think it was like $3/resident up to 300 residents, per year) because they told us we needed to get it if we ever show movies.
2020-09-30 08:04:47 PM davisr I have work early lol we all do
2020-09-30 08:04:53 PM kathrynlsvec yeah, sorry, we got way off topic hahaha
