2020-10-18 04:16:03 PM kellyryan I agree the grid has been the most confusing for me and this has been difficult to get 5 people together at the same time
2020-10-18 04:16:11 PM paigea i just always worry im not looking up or findining the write material to write on
2020-10-18 04:16:18 PM annettep Can somebody tell me how we can plan the residents activities when they have had a stroke and can't use their dominate hand?
2020-10-18 04:17:02 PM paigea maybe using something more visual to stimulate their mind more?
2020-10-18 04:17:27 PM kellyryan i agree
2020-10-18 04:17:52 PM annettep Would you plan bingo vs a card game like spades?
2020-10-18 04:18:15 PM paigea yes and u could always assist them with the bingo
2020-10-18 04:18:23 PM lhalfacre I have never had a issue planning activities. If it was difficult with someone I would assist them and all would be happy and we would make sure to put it on the calender again.
2020-10-18 04:19:02 PM annettep they could play cards if we had a card holder
2020-10-18 04:19:42 PM annettep let us add a non current diagnosis to their current problem; they have early stage demntia now
2020-10-18 04:20:10 PM kellyryan this is all new to me so all of these ideas are helpful
2020-10-18 04:20:28 PM lhalfacre I also found if I made a basic calender and plug differant things in every month. This has helped especially with the demintia reidents.
2020-10-18 04:21:08 PM annettep I would also possibly change the card game to War, bingo seems to be a important game for most
2020-10-18 04:21:12 PM paigea they could still do the bingo and cards and probaly enjoy music and visual activities but may need assistamce with things such as the bingo and cards
2020-10-18 04:21:19 PM lhalfacre Most of the time they need structure. If you keep a routine going they usually stay on track better.
2020-10-18 04:21:57 PM annettep Yes, posting a calandar with current day mark on it will help them keep track
2020-10-18 04:22:06 PM annettep let us try another scene
2020-10-18 04:22:52 PM annettep A person just came in with a fall and some brain injury. is upset about the move
2020-10-18 04:24:17 PM kellyryan transistions are always tough i feel like it would depend on the resident
2020-10-18 04:24:22 PM paigea would need to find out their interest and things they enjoyed doing to make their move easier for them
2020-10-18 04:24:39 PM paigea make them feel more comfortable
2020-10-18 04:25:10 PM annettep I am wonder if doing some one on one initially tobuild trust and get to know them
2020-10-18 04:25:19 PM paigea yes i agree
2020-10-18 04:25:29 PM lhalfacre In this case I would do everything I could to encourage their participation. Sometimes it is just easier to ask them to come a watch how things go and they usually get involved.
2020-10-18 04:25:49 PM paigea i think one on ones with new residents to make them comforabtle with u and u get to know them better that way
2020-10-18 04:26:02 PM kellyryan true
2020-10-18 04:26:55 PM annettep I am wondering if a quieter place to, smaller group. I am wondering if too much noise and stimulous can over whelm them
2020-10-18 04:27:01 PM paigea but yes lisa, a lot of the time the resident make be unsure about the acitivity or wanting to attending but once they see everyone doing things and having fun is easier and they feel more comfortable and eager to jump in
2020-10-18 04:27:26 PM lhalfacre I greet every resident with smiles everyday and make jokes.
2020-10-18 04:27:32 PM annettep I like having fun
2020-10-18 04:27:50 PM paigea yeah i have a few residents now that actually prefere small group stuff over the bigger groupn activities
2020-10-18 04:28:36 PM paigea well even thoughh right now we havent been able to do big group acitvities bc of covid ... but in the past they prefered smaller group acitivities.
2020-10-18 04:29:11 PM kellyryan iv noticed smaller groups or one on one acheive more
2020-10-18 04:29:14 PM lhalfacre For example....every morning I get off the elevator and open my arms and say good morning my people. They all smile back and ask what are we doing today. I even have residents ask for me everyday if they don't see me in the morninhg.
2020-10-18 04:29:16 PM annettep what do we do with pople who don't want to get up, maybe a paraplegia or amputee
2020-10-18 04:29:25 PM paigea i truly think getting to know each of ur residents and what they prefer make such a huge deal on planning ur activities and making sure who likes what gets to do things they enjoye every week
2020-10-18 04:29:47 PM paigea we go and do in room activities with those people
2020-10-18 04:30:09 PM paigea such as reading to them, playing music, or just anything they prefer or enjoy
2020-10-18 04:30:10 PM annettep anybody have any ideas what the in room activities could be?
2020-10-18 04:30:18 PM kellyryan defintly have to bond with residents on a more personal level
2020-10-18 04:30:48 PM lhalfacre in this case it is always 1 on 1 in their room. But always continue to encourage them to come out a join the groups.
2020-10-18 04:30:54 PM kellyryan to see wat they like to do and prefer
2020-10-18 04:31:34 PM annettep I was thinking of doing cross word puzzles with them. I though brining a deck of cards, I bought the Bananagram game the other day
2020-10-18 04:32:20 PM annettep small and fast craft
2020-10-18 04:32:58 PM annettep Has anybody worked with teh therapy people, maybe have them bring a resident to you when they were done
2020-10-18 04:33:01 PM lhalfacre I always use the daily chronicle for 1 on 1's and also take a cart with different activities to offer them. Some days it is just some hand cream and rubbing their hands and arms with cream for stimulation
2020-10-18 04:33:30 PM annettep ooh, good idea, nail polish for the ladies, What for the guys?
2020-10-18 04:33:57 PM annettep They guys seem harder to plan for
2020-10-18 04:34:06 PM lhalfacre Believe or not I have had men enjoy the lotion.
2020-10-18 04:34:20 PM paigea the guys are harder, but mine enjoy music being played for them and signing along to their facotire sings
2020-10-18 04:34:22 PM paigea favorite
2020-10-18 04:34:56 PM annettep Okay, I could find some manly lotion so they can smell good too
2020-10-18 04:35:17 PM annettep I want to bring up some other catagories, important
2020-10-18 04:35:26 PM annettep respiratory and cardiac
2020-10-18 04:35:46 PM annettep Somebody comes to you on oxygen, maybe therapy dropped them off
2020-10-18 04:36:22 PM annettep Doeseverybody knowhow to find out how much oxygen is in it
2020-10-18 04:36:37 PM paigea yes
2020-10-18 04:36:48 PM lhalfacre For these cases I have already talked to the therapist and nurses about what to watch with these residents.
2020-10-18 04:37:04 PM paigea im not sure what they gage things is called that attatched to the tank but it wil show u how much oxygen they ahve left
2020-10-18 04:37:16 PM annettep Yes, have them teach you how to read the tank
2020-10-18 04:38:29 PM annettep anybody else have a brat cat wanting your attention?

2020-10-18 04:39:45 PM annettep My boy cat hates me being on the computer or phone. life is about him only
2020-10-18 04:40:00 PM lhalfacre I try to do most of my activities in the main dinning room where there is plenty of room. As the day goes on the group gets larger. Therapy get residents to join us and will bring the resident to the activity after therapy. By the end of the day I have to get aids to help transport residents back to their room. But luckily it has worked.
2020-10-18 04:41:34 PM annettep I am new at the facility I am working at, 1 week, the facility is also under rehab contruction and new ownership, changing from paper to computer, really hard time right now. I am noticing the residents gathering over the course of the day

2020-10-18 04:46:49 PM lhalfacre I had to change facilities in March, so right now I am the receptionist and help in activities. I have residents come to me and complain about being bored every single day. I will volunteer and take residents out to smoke and we turn the radio on and encourage them all to sing. They tell me I am crazy but they love the interaction.

2020-10-18 04:52:24 PM annettep Let us think of activites that would help with somebody who has expereinced a new onset diabetes
2020-10-18 04:52:55 PM annettep They are having trouble with keeping their sugar levels good, and complain of tingling of hands
2020-10-18 04:53:55 PM lhalfacre In these cases I have 2 sets of treats. One general treat and one for the diabetics.
2020-10-18 04:53:59 PM annettep Holloween is coming up, all that candy and treats, what can they have
2020-10-18 04:54:47 PM annettep What would be a tasty and special drink for them

2020-10-18 04:56:14 PM paigea or we speak the nurse and get their sugar checked before the acitivty and occasionally it has been ok for them to have the sweets
2020-10-18 04:56:21 PM annettep yum on the icecream
2020-10-18 04:56:54 PM annettep the hard part is the people with strokes and can't eat regular food
2020-10-18 04:57:06 PM lhalfacre I have learned over the years that if it is anything to do with food the resident does not care if it is sugar free. They will eat anything you give them.......lol
2020-10-18 04:57:34 PM paigea our residents love popcorn and we do that with them but the ones that cant eat it we make sure we have other snacks that are appropicate for their diets
2020-10-18 04:57:36 PM kellyryan same for me ! hahhaa
2020-10-18 04:57:50 PM annettep I wonder if we work with dietry if they can come up with a sweet treat that is safe for them
2020-10-18 04:57:53 PM dianes We are doing sliced apples on a stick like a lollipop with peanut butter and for the regular residents we are having them roll the apples in different toppings
