2013-02-23 09:08:46 AM j82vazquez hi
2013-02-23 09:11:01 AM cheyanna1 do we have to discuss an upcoming activity that we are planning
2013-02-23 09:13:15 AM j82vazquez well for st. patricks day i am going to make to have an entertainer come in who does impersonations of various singers such as elvis, neil diamond, and tom jones. I am going to make a punch with green sherbet to get residents in the spirit of st. patricks day. A few days prior to the event I am going to do a craft where residents decorate their own st patricks day hat and they can wear it to to the event
2013-02-23 09:14:15 AM cheyanna1 that sounds good we do green beer for st. patricks day and the kitchen makes some irish food
2013-02-23 09:15:46 AM cheyanna1 i usually find an irish recipe and the dietary director will make it for us we do different crafts leading up to st. patricks day too. Easter is in march this year so it may overshadow some of our st patricks festivities
2013-02-23 09:16:03 AM j82vazquez yeah
2013-02-23 09:16:59 AM cheyanna1 my administrator wants me to start planning memorial services for our residents who have passed away do our first one is in april so i am trying to organize that
2013-02-23 09:17:58 AM j82vazquez wow, what will you be doing? How often?
2013-02-23 09:18:16 AM cheyanna1 we are going to have them twice a year and invite their families, residents and staff i have mixed feeling about this
2013-02-23 09:18:53 AM cheyanna1 some people actually want move on after their family member has passed on
2013-02-23 09:20:44 AM cheyanna1 we are going to have a service and refreshments as if i already dont have enough to do. one of my full time people was cut down to part time last year and we are starting a new dementia program that i am doing a lot of the work for
2013-02-23 09:22:45 AM j82vazquez wow, you must be awesome if you are getting more work. Still, it is overwhelming and you are only one person! How long have you been doing activities?
2013-02-23 09:25:32 AM cheyanna1 that must really be hard working by yourself you are awesome because i don't know if i could do that i have been a director for 6 years and working in activities for about 12 years
2013-02-23 09:28:07 AM cheyanna1 how long have you been in activities? my facility has 148 beds i have 2 fulltime assitants and one who works about three days a week we have four units
2013-02-23 09:29:42 AM cheyanna1 do you have to cover evenings and weekends too while you are working by yourself?
2013-02-23 09:30:08 AM j82vazquez yeah this is my first time being an activity director 3months going on 4so about when this class started. It has been crazy and I just got an assistant now. My Administrator would only let me positiion a job opening on craigslist!!! not monster or careerbuilder. I started posting signs at nearby businesses and in the breakroom at work. I have interviewed a number of people and offered a position to about 3 who turned it down because of pay and the position is part time. Facility can hold 105 people. We are at a 100, right now.
2013-02-23 09:30:48 AM cheyanna1 craigslist?
2013-02-23 09:30:59 AM j82vazquez yup!
2013-02-23 09:32:27 AM cheyanna1 its hard to find people for activities because they dont want to pay anyone and some people think working in activities is playtime and they dont take the job serious
2013-02-23 09:33:52 AM j82vazquez yep, started as an assistant at 8 dollars an hour
2013-02-23 09:34:34 AM j82vazquez my part time I have now, I gave her 10 with no experience and she still thinks she should be getting more lol
2013-02-23 09:35:03 AM cheyanna1 10 is good starting in activities i am taking the certification because i heard my job is going to start making it mandatory even for the people with degrees so i wanted to take it now
2013-02-23 09:35:54 AM cheyanna1 they dont even pay for the class up front i have to do reimbursement
2013-02-23 09:37:19 AM j82vazquez 12 years, how have you seen long term care change? Has there been a significant change? oh, yeah, its either my rent or this class. I will be reimbursed too! I am not taking the second part until I get reimbursed. I am barely making it.
2013-02-23 09:40:54 AM cheyanna1 i know its really hard the biggest change i have seen is the type of residents that we are getting its no longer the liitle old ladies and men who cant take care of themselves we are getting a lot of younger people 50s and 60s, homeless people and drug addicts. they tend to be very demanding also as far as staff they want the staff to do 10 different jobs and resporces are very limited the focus seems to be only on the budget and marketing it seems like companies care less about the residents and more about making money
2013-02-23 09:42:59 AM j82vazquez I agree,yeah, what is up with taking in the homeless. so with the difference in age range it makes it more difficult to provide activities for everyone?
2013-02-23 09:45:03 AM cheyanna1 it does so we started a gameroom and self-directed activity area for the young group the really seem to enjoy it. we have the wii set up, a dvd player pooltable and some games. i think the get some kind of contract for taking in homeless people
2013-02-23 09:45:47 AM j82vazquez I have been having that diffculty myself. Providing activities with such a range in ages. I get the man telling me there are not enough male oriented activities, and the 30 40 yr olds who dont want to participate because they say activities are just for old people so they dont come..
2013-02-23 09:48:13 AM cheyanna1 i know its like pulling teeth to get our men to come to activities. the gameroom does help because it allows the younger group to get together on their own and do what they want we also have residents who dont come to activities because they want to sit out and smoke all day
2013-02-23 09:50:37 AM j82vazquez lol, The facility I work for now is a none smoking facility. I remember when it was part of activities to take smokers out and lite their cigarettes for them! I worked at a facility that did that two years ago.
2013-02-23 09:52:07 AM cheyanna1 i told the nursing staff that activities is not taking anyone out to smoke because none of us smoke and they have all of those people in nursing who smoke more than they work and they can take the residents out when they go
2013-02-23 09:52:49 AM j82vazquez good job!
2013-02-23 09:53:33 AM cheyanna1 i have enjoyed talking to you we have to keep in touch i have to go in for my administrative coverage
2013-02-23 09:54:17 AM j82vazquez i enjoyed it to. You have my number! Have a good one.

2013-02-25 07:00:08 PM angi55 i have some of week 2 assignments due because i could never open this with microsoft word
2013-02-25 07:00:16 PM richardsonl I have been trying to break down the final this time, I waited too long to complete the mid-term and felt the crunch. I hope this would help to stay caught up
2013-02-25 07:00:51 PM karynbrinkley Kathy is very easy to work with. Just ket her know what's going on. Are you able to open everything now?
2013-02-25 07:00:53 PM angi55 i just downloaded the open office and i think that will help me to open the files
2013-02-25 07:01:02 PM angel4aml18 Hi my name is Michelle Moreland and I am in MEPAP 1
2013-02-25 07:01:23 PM angi55 Is it necessary to print every reading assignment
2013-02-25 07:01:38 PM karynbrinkley It is so important to stay organized. I kept all the reading in a binder so I had it handy for the exams. They are open book.
2013-02-25 07:01:55 PM richardsonl Does anyone have any suggestions on getting volunteers. I have contacted by mail local churches and schools. I was thinkin go of calling and maybe making a personal visits.
2013-02-25 07:02:07 PM angi55 I am building a fantastic binder, just spending a fortune on ink
2013-02-25 07:02:29 PM angel4aml18 agreed Angi55. I am trying to print as much as possible at work
2013-02-25 07:02:41 PM bestgirl729 Hi, my name is Bethany Dinh and from MEPAP 1.
2013-02-25 07:02:51 PM angi55 personal visits and calling sounds like a good idea. talk to family members . they are a good resource as well
2013-02-25 07:02:53 PM richardsonl I downloaded the files into a file folder on my computer and labeled each download
2013-02-25 07:02:53 PM dtkimble Karyn, I am getting my weekly assignments done but am having difficulty getting the mid term projects going.
2013-02-25 07:03:24 PM bestgirl729 I post my reading materials into the microsoft words and highlight the important facts...and leave on my USB flashdrive
2013-02-25 07:03:24 PM richardsonl Thanks for the suggestion angi55
2013-02-25 07:03:31 PM dtkimble I use time well, but can't shirk my job responsibilities
2013-02-25 07:03:36 PM karynbrinkley I have lots of interns from local colleges and technical schools. They are mostly health promotion majors and they need 290 hours of internship hours. Set up at the job fair of a local college and then you will reel them in.
