2013-03-05 07:22:39 PM lynniemarie yep, lots in my nursing home!
2013-03-05 07:22:40 PM khurley2013 our residents are going to hide the eggs then watch the little kids find them
2013-03-05 07:22:43 PM kathyhughes They have diffent names, but a plan of care is required in the nursing home...some places call them service plans
2013-03-05 07:22:51 PM babieofseven I must agree about the ton of paperwork that was the only down side of the job
2013-03-05 07:23:01 PM richardsonl In my experience the regulations for nursing homes, assisted living and adult day programs are differeent and job descriptions vary slightly. When I worked in adult day program and nursing facilities, I had to write care plans and assessments. I did not have the MDS in an Adult day program. I did not have assessments, or care plans in assisted livign
2013-03-05 07:23:05 PM kathyhughes and some medical day cares require care plans
2013-03-05 07:23:07 PM lynniemarie It gets easier with time I think
2013-03-05 07:23:09 PM msnicolef Can I ask how much the salary is at a nursing home for an activities director?
2013-03-05 07:23:12 PM estrawser is the care plan the same for a swing bed program?

2013-03-05 07:23:55 PM angi55 ok thank yall so much. I am interested in assisted livings. They are really interesting to me. Is the pay scale different for different types of facilities
2013-03-05 07:24:01 PM kathyhughes depends on where you are and the size of the facility
2013-03-05 07:24:05 PM msnicolef Very well. The paperwork may seem maticulous, but at least you're getting paid legitimately.

2013-03-05 07:25:26 PM kathyhughes and to see if the care plan goals are meeting the needs and interests of the residents

2013-03-05 07:25:57 PM coachlcs73 Our core staff still has to do annual competencies in care
2013-03-05 07:26:01 PM 0678 yes but paper work at the end of the day if you have a resident that needs attention and you are charting of course you will pay attenton to the resident but the the mds person is sending you an e-mail for "billing" the next minute

2013-03-05 07:26:16 PM bhanson We have about 80 residents in our healthcare wing
2013-03-05 07:26:16 PM richardsonl That's about what I made msnicolef when I ran and adult vocational program and senior center at the same time. It was frustrating
2013-03-05 07:26:31 PM babieofseven I had 125 and as an assistant I made $12.50 an hour in texas
2013-03-05 07:26:34 PM jamiecraig wow thats why im gona wait out our current director im not worried about having a title without the right pay
2013-03-05 07:26:36 PM lynniemarie How much do art therapists get?

2013-03-05 07:27:02 PM estrawser I am looking at our records to see if we have a care plan for each person. There is an intital evaluation and generic care plan. I would like to see so specfic to each resident need and likes. That should be better for the resident?
2013-03-05 07:27:08 PM angi55 this brings me to another point. is it common to cut an ad daily hours when the census goes down
2013-03-05 07:27:10 PM jamiecraig we have 200

2013-03-05 07:28:07 PM lynniemarie There is no way that I could handle the physical requirements for lifting like CNAs do.
2013-03-05 07:28:10 PM angi55 i wanted to ask if i could be an assistant, but the ad hours just got cut so i guess the timing is bad

2013-03-05 07:38:56 PM mbmalone3 awww thats sad
2013-03-05 07:38:58 PM richardsonl food socials are a problem at times because we are not allowed to help feed those who need help and we have trouble finding a CNA to help.

2013-03-05 07:39:14 PM kathyhughes Baseball season starts for Sunday afternoons
2013-03-05 07:39:18 PM angi55 One facility does take out lunch on Fridays where the ad goes and gets lunch at fast food place if the resident wants. It gets out of hand when too many eating places are involved
2013-03-05 07:39:19 PM estrawser Someone was talking about a Wii. there is bowling and games. The cost is the problem. Maybe can get a local organizations to help with cost.
