2014-03-06 07:18:53 PM dgauntlett how would you go about trying to get more staff?
2014-03-06 07:18:57 PM debbie134 I love the residents, but they want more. We just lost 40 hours a week in staffing in the department.
2014-03-06 07:19:05 PM jackietate Hello,, just home had an evening activity tonight
2014-03-06 07:19:11 PM dgauntlett oh no

2014-03-06 07:19:23 PM kathyhughes I used the regulations and did a time management study
2014-03-06 07:19:25 PM dgauntlett 40 hours is a huge hit
2014-03-06 07:19:30 PM jackietate State survey finished today but I guess we find out tomorrow how we did..
2014-03-06 07:19:37 PM dgauntlett ok

2014-03-06 07:19:47 PM dgauntlett good luck jackie
2014-03-06 07:19:55 PM kathyhughes You will do fine
2014-03-06 07:20:03 PM dgauntlett state survey is a nerve racking time
2014-03-06 07:20:10 PM debbie134 I have a volunteer who is helping out 35 hours a week. Without her I hate to think of where we would be.
2014-03-06 07:20:21 PM jackietate I was so nervous but they were very nice and explained as they searched.. I think we did very well
2014-03-06 07:20:26 PM aholscher wow. that's a lot for a volunteer. Good for you.
2014-03-06 07:20:29 PM dgauntlett good
2014-03-06 07:20:53 PM kathyhughes good on both fronts
2014-03-06 07:21:36 PM dgauntlett our survey window doesn't open for awhile
2014-03-06 07:21:44 PM kathyhughes time to prove that activities will need to be scaled down without staff to do it
2014-03-06 07:21:51 PM debbie134 She is amazing but I cannot expect her to do it all the time.
2014-03-06 07:21:52 PM dgauntlett we are doing qapi inservices right now
2014-03-06 07:22:33 PM kathyhughes right and you can't count on her being there
2014-03-06 07:22:44 PM kathyhughes QAPI is an interesting thing!
2014-03-06 07:22:44 PM jackietate we start the qapi inservice next week
2014-03-06 07:22:53 PM dgauntlett it is
2014-03-06 07:23:00 PM dbrewer ??
2014-03-06 07:23:01 PM aholscher What is that?
2014-03-06 07:23:12 PM cindynick What is QAPI
2014-03-06 07:23:14 PM jackietate I hope so because I hate QA reports..
2014-03-06 07:23:33 PM kathyhughes Its all about quality programming which we do anyway
2014-03-06 07:23:46 PM debbie134 You are right Kathy. I am proud of my staff and the activities we offer, but I am afarid my team will struggle with the extra work we share.
2014-03-06 07:23:47 PM dgauntlett its a data focus program
2014-03-06 07:24:25 PM jackietate They have had me cross referencing triggers of depression with activity partisapation
2014-03-06 07:24:26 PM kathyhughes http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Health-Plans/HealthPlansGenInfo/downloads/op_guide.pdf
2014-03-06 07:24:48 PM debbie134 That sounds interesting Jackie
2014-03-06 07:24:53 PM aholscher thanks Kathy
2014-03-06 07:25:13 PM dgauntlett thank you kathy
2014-03-06 07:25:25 PM jackietate certainly is chalenging but the numbers are there
2014-03-06 07:26:11 PM kathyhughes You can download the info and read it during your own Happy Hour!
2014-03-06 07:26:12 PM jackietate have had to have more low function groups to provide for those that have triggered
2014-03-06 07:26:59 PM kathyhughes I believe that its based upon looking at the lower func residents
2014-03-06 07:27:00 PM aholscher The low functioning ones are so hard for me. Music seems to be the only thing they really respond to. And I try so hard for really meaningful engagement.
2014-03-06 07:27:26 PM dgauntlett how about pet therapy?
2014-03-06 07:27:26 PM jackietate but on a good note it has made the higher functioning residents much more independent for at times we just have to set them up for an activity they can run themselves
2014-03-06 07:27:49 PM cindynick We have very few medicaid residents
2014-03-06 07:27:54 PM aholscher Yeah I just booked a group that brings in different animals.
2014-03-06 07:28:17 PM dgauntlett what about a drum circle??
2014-03-06 07:28:19 PM kathyhughes The higher functioning residents can run their own programs....
2014-03-06 07:28:35 PM dgauntlett that reaches our low functioning residents
2014-03-06 07:28:46 PM aholscher Music just isn't my skill. But that's why I hired a music therapist as my Activity Coordinator
2014-03-06 07:28:49 PM debbie134 Pet therapy is wonderful for lower functioning residents. We had a group which brought in baby barnyard animals. All of our residents responded very well to them
2014-03-06 07:29:05 PM dgauntlett that is awesome
2014-03-06 07:29:08 PM golden93277 how does drum circle work?
2014-03-06 07:29:11 PM cindynick Our high functioning residents are complaining because we are not doing enough for them. They don't want to run any programming
2014-03-06 07:29:13 PM kathyhughes an incubator to hatch eggs
2014-03-06 07:29:47 PM dgauntlett a man comes in with african drums and leads the group
2014-03-06 07:29:57 PM kathyhughes I had an open activity room that I set up each day for them and they would come for coffee and hang out
2014-03-06 07:29:57 PM debbie134 My high functioning residents take turns at calling Bingo.
2014-03-06 07:30:13 PM jackietate it is very hard to get the high function residents to be independent it did take a while first staff played games with them... then watched and eventually we just had to set it up and get them started..
2014-03-06 07:30:20 PM kathyhughes there was a craft of the day, movies and games for them
2014-03-06 07:30:39 PM dgauntlett maybe and open art studio
2014-03-06 07:30:46 PM kathyhughes right
2014-03-06 07:31:14 PM cindynick Awesome ideas! We need to move in that direction
2014-03-06 07:31:14 PM dgauntlett or a station type of set up
2014-03-06 07:31:16 PM kathyhughes we had some who were "volunteers" and made cards for staff and volunteers
2014-03-06 07:31:19 PM aholscher Yeah, i would try to encourage different "Clubs" for the higher functioning ones
2014-03-06 07:31:24 PM dgauntlett where they go from station to station
2014-03-06 07:31:30 PM aholscher small groups that they make the rules for
2014-03-06 07:31:59 PM jackietate yes art studio is good we are working on boxcars for the cub scouts are bringing in thier car track next month for our residents to race the cars they made on and the woman are excited to bet on the cars
2014-03-06 07:32:00 PM debbie134 An open art studio would be so welcome at our facility. We have a group of 8-10 residents who paint on Saturdays. The work they produce is outstanding and lifts their spirits.
2014-03-06 07:32:27 PM dgauntlett you should have an art show!!!
2014-03-06 07:32:36 PM aholscher I would kill to have residents who are interested and engaged with art. I'm an art therapist, that's what I do. But mine are not interested.
2014-03-06 07:32:37 PM dgauntlett so they can they show off their work
2014-03-06 07:33:10 PM kathyhughes There was a student awhile back that made a yearly calendar of the resident's artwork and they would sell it for a fundraiser
2014-03-06 07:33:16 PM cindynick I teach folk art painting. My group has been together almost 3 years
2014-03-06 07:33:18 PM aholscher that's a good idea.
2014-03-06 07:33:28 PM dgauntlett working with short stay rehab residents we have a variety of people flow through
2014-03-06 07:33:29 PM debbie134 We are having one after Christmas. We do have a gallery that anyone can visit. Also our artists sell their work which sustains the program.
2014-03-06 07:33:31 PM cindynick I like the calendar idea
2014-03-06 07:33:35 PM jackietate art was hard for my facility also.. that how we came up with the cars for they feel like they are doing them for the children and we know how much our residents love to make children feel good
2014-03-06 07:34:10 PM kathyhughes Mine would also stamp paper table cloths for the parties
2014-03-06 07:34:42 PM kathyhughes we had a ton of white paper tablecloth's that they would decorate for the monthly party
2014-03-06 07:35:02 PM debbie134 I like that idea Kathy. Not all of my residents are artistic, but still want to participate in some way.
2014-03-06 07:35:27 PM dgauntlett michaels sees stencils that look cool and anyone can use
2014-03-06 07:35:29 PM kathyhughes We would use potatoes and other rubber stamps
2014-03-06 07:35:51 PM cindynick there are so many websites with great art/craft ideas
2014-03-06 07:35:57 PM debbie134 Do you use stamp pads or paint?
2014-03-06 07:35:57 PM kathyhughes and they liked the truck painting with kids trucks
2014-03-06 07:36:15 PM kathyhughes we would use stamping ink
2014-03-06 07:36:24 PM kathyhughes we had a ton of pads
2014-03-06 07:36:45 PM jackietate wooden blocks are fun to some just paint the base color and others add the stamped numbers, letters or pictures
2014-03-06 07:37:24 PM kathyhughes you can attach the foam forms to those blocks and make your own with the adhesive foam
2014-03-06 07:37:32 PM jackietate with a simple clear coat at the end the blocks looked great and we donated them to the local shelter
2014-03-06 07:38:06 PM kathyhughes we also used the stamp pads to make our cards each month
2014-03-06 07:38:25 PM cindynick we also do card stamping
2014-03-06 07:38:33 PM kathyhughes and I had 2 residents who would take the cards around to be signed by staff or other residents
2014-03-06 07:38:50 PM tubbsretricia enter the chat room
2014-03-06 07:38:52 PM dgauntlett I like that
2014-03-06 07:38:55 PM jackietate we do card stamping to each month the residents make birthday cards for other residents with birthdays.
2014-03-06 07:39:04 PM aholscher that's nice

2014-03-06 07:39:36 PM kathyhughes they would make thank-you cards for the staff and volunteers

2014-03-06 07:40:14 PM dgauntlett the staff love them

2014-03-07 07:32:22 PM rose48mary so any one have any ideas, i will suggest maybe a pet therapy program....
2014-03-07 07:33:11 PM rose48mary i attended a pet therapy class to better understand the relationship between the dog and the resident
2014-03-07 07:33:20 PM 040965 I started this month with the higher functional residents to do a spanish class
2014-03-07 07:33:33 PM rose48mary thats awesome how is that going
2014-03-07 07:34:20 PM 040965 great. I got some local high scholl seniors who need some community service for college apps.

2014-03-07 07:39:31 PM rose48mary sorry quality improvement for our residents
2014-03-07 07:39:37 PM 040965 Question, how do you handle a resident who is just not interested in anything?
2014-03-07 07:40:12 PM 040965 I've tried all sortsof ways
2014-03-07 07:40:15 PM rose48mary what does that resident do..
2014-03-07 07:40:30 PM rose48mary it would help me to answer your question
2014-03-07 07:40:37 PM 040965 Only want to watch tv and stay in his room
2014-03-07 07:41:44 PM rose48mary ok i would offer maybe one to one's, music therapy one to ones, pet visits one to one and even exercise one to ones
2014-03-07 07:41:58 PM 040965 I can't seem to reach him with nothing. I even talked to him about the programs that he watches to get some ideas
2014-03-07 07:42:23 PM 040965 But I'll go back and try some of your ideas
2014-03-07 07:42:32 PM rose48mary does he express satisfaction with his activities
2014-03-07 07:43:04 PM tinajg Hello is there a set time to log on for open discussion?
2014-03-07 07:43:05 PM 040965 He just says that he is disinterested. Nothing against me .
2014-03-07 07:43:43 PM 040965 I've spoken with nursing too to see if there was something going on medically
