2014-07-31 06:21:43 PM ginad Why did the previous activity director leave.
2014-07-31 06:21:51 PM pawood we are switching our program from monet to matrix and I will have to input all my care plans into the system not looking forward to. Training was bad enough
2014-07-31 06:21:53 PM jeannette1978 she was let go
2014-07-31 06:22:00 PM janice13 I will have to look for a postion in a different location

2014-07-31 06:22:07 PM shartman I had to switch over all our care plans too- it was a long process!
2014-07-31 06:22:14 PM ginad Why, Janice?
2014-07-31 06:22:24 PM janice13 because we already have a director

2014-07-31 06:22:43 PM tubbsretricia I have no involvement in care plans
2014-07-31 06:22:52 PM kathyhughes once its done does it go easier?
2014-07-31 06:22:56 PM tonyap1 guess that is why i love assissted living you don't have all of that
2014-07-31 06:23:11 PM terridenisetyler lucky you!
2014-07-31 06:23:15 PM tonyap1 right
2014-07-31 06:23:16 PM johndavid careplans are not my favorite thing to do
2014-07-31 06:23:20 PM tubbsretricia right
2014-07-31 06:23:23 PM sonceegreen not really takes me longer from the assessment all the way to care plan
2014-07-31 06:23:26 PM pawood looking to the bright side the care plans will be done the way i want them to be this time around
2014-07-31 06:23:33 PM janice13 i love learning what the resident really wants during their care plans
2014-07-31 06:23:39 PM kathyhughes givr it time Tonya
2014-07-31 06:23:51 PM terridenisetyler yes they do help us!

2014-07-31 06:24:33 PM tonyap1 they do need all of the care plan
2014-07-31 06:24:39 PM terridenisetyler right
2014-07-31 06:24:40 PM kathyhughes not anyone elses
2014-07-31 06:24:48 PM pawood its supposed to be an upgrade
2014-07-31 06:24:52 PM tonyap1 our commuity , the nurses do it
2014-07-31 06:24:55 PM janice13 yes they are , they drive their plans or we are doing our job wrong
2014-07-31 06:25:08 PM fkirchgater agreed
2014-07-31 06:25:31 PM pawood i am adding all care plans into the templete life is easier and then personalize while clicking away
2014-07-31 06:25:48 PM janice13 Kathy how do you upload to the ADN network on a forum
2014-07-31 06:25:51 PM kathyhughes you can't do them wrong...just remember when it comes to activities its what the residents wants
2014-07-31 06:25:52 PM amanda33 we have optimist
2014-07-31 06:26:14 PM shartman the more detailed the better- you understand who the resident is by specifi details
2014-07-31 06:26:17 PM charmaine Thanks for the reminders!
2014-07-31 06:26:20 PM amanda33 good pint kathy
2014-07-31 06:26:30 PM sonceegreen left the chat room
2014-07-31 06:26:36 PM shartman sometimes its hard though, i get that, they become general at times- you have to spice them up
2014-07-31 06:26:38 PM kathyhughes Janice...when you post if you scroll down you will see a place to add an attachment
2014-07-31 06:26:39 PM ginad Also, I think when you set their goals make sure that they are not too high
2014-07-31 06:26:58 PM kathyhughes You can upload a file from your computer files
2014-07-31 06:27:00 PM tonyap1 i was really suprised when i didn't have to show who all participate
2014-07-31 06:27:06 PM janice13 if the resident needs help in deciding what they like share with them the types of activities that you do and what the benefits are
2014-07-31 06:27:16 PM shartman its good if at their due date if you can increase, from 1-3 activiite per day or week to 3-5. 5-7 etc.
2014-07-31 06:27:16 PM janice13 thank you Kathy I will try after class
2014-07-31 06:27:18 PM sonceegreen enter the chat room
2014-07-31 06:27:22 PM pawood i break them down into categories (decline in activ ities,, decline in health, hospice, independent, younger resident, behaviors, red band wanderguards etc)
2014-07-31 06:27:24 PM shartman small things but shows they are improving
2014-07-31 06:27:46 PM tonyap1 sometimes my goal is just to get them out of their room
2014-07-31 06:27:54 PM ginad That is a good idea pawood
2014-07-31 06:27:58 PM terridenisetyler true
2014-07-31 06:28:01 PM janice13 sometimes that is the hardest thing to do
2014-07-31 06:28:01 PM jeannette1978 I know right
2014-07-31 06:28:03 PM tonyap1 I do know that id i havefood they will come
2014-07-31 06:28:04 PM pawood thank you
2014-07-31 06:28:13 PM terridenisetyler lol
2014-07-31 06:28:15 PM shartman yes- totally some have NO ambition- its the little steps each day!
2014-07-31 06:28:16 PM tubbsretricia lol
2014-07-31 06:28:17 PM fkirchgater i have a few of those myself especially men
2014-07-31 06:28:27 PM shartman I love to see them come and even participate for a little bit!
2014-07-31 06:28:28 PM kathyhughes What if a residents doesn't want to go to that many activities and never did why would that be an issue?
2014-07-31 06:28:38 PM amanda33 lol
2014-07-31 06:28:39 PM ginad I think it has to do with that their family does not visit
2014-07-31 06:28:44 PM terridenisetyler it's not
2014-07-31 06:28:49 PM fkirchgater i only really worry when they do nothing
2014-07-31 06:28:49 PM tonyap1 depressio and isolation
2014-07-31 06:28:52 PM johndavid some people want to see numbers when it comes to activities.
2014-07-31 06:28:53 PM janice13 i founsd a feew independent men that host a bi-weekly men;s lunch for us they now have up to 12 men coming
2014-07-31 06:29:02 PM amanda33 yes
2014-07-31 06:29:05 PM tonyap1 need physical movement
2014-07-31 06:29:05 PM pawood DOH makes it an issue at our facility it must be care planed and explained and plently of documentation
2014-07-31 06:29:07 PM shartman not an issue- you just have to find things that will suit their intrests like 1:1s and giving them enough tools to be sucessful through their independent leisure
2014-07-31 06:29:13 PM terridenisetyler make sure you care plan it
2014-07-31 06:29:22 PM tubbsretricia Start with small exercise
2014-07-31 06:29:22 PM johndavid i agree, we should not make residents do anything they do not want to do, but I think in the business world its alla bout numbers and how many come and participate
2014-07-31 06:29:25 PM charmaine Maybe not assessed right?
2014-07-31 06:29:33 PM tubbsretricia for motional
2014-07-31 06:29:35 PM tonyap1 right
2014-07-31 06:29:48 PM janice13 make sure that you are given them everything that is on their care plan
2014-07-31 06:30:02 PM kathyhughes If you remember the interpretive guidelines they stated not to refer to the number of activities per week
2014-07-31 06:30:04 PM ginad I was talking to one of our residents and she never comes out unless to smoke. Upon further talking to her she said because her kids do not visit unless it is her birthday or Christmas
2014-07-31 06:30:11 PM tonyap1 yes with little surprises
2014-07-31 06:30:20 PM terridenisetyler not to state?
2014-07-31 06:30:26 PM janice13 numbers should not matter it is the quality that you provide to thos who attend , did they get what they needed from the activity
2014-07-31 06:30:33 PM jeannette1978 Mine most come out only for bingp
2014-07-31 06:30:35 PM fkirchgater really?! how did i miss that?
2014-07-31 06:30:41 PM pawood i have some residents who carry a baby doll and this is what calms them down. yes care planed and i check to make sure the doll is still around and with them
2014-07-31 06:30:46 PM terridenisetyler i missed it too
2014-07-31 06:30:49 PM amanda33 oh ok thought i use unumberfo goals
2014-07-31 06:31:03 PM tonyap1 Saturday is Natioal Ice cream sandwich day
2014-07-31 06:31:13 PM kathyhughes a surveyor got out a calculator once and figured that the activity dept had to have 30 activities a day to meet the care plan goals
2014-07-31 06:31:19 PM tubbsretricia Pawood dolls are okay to carry around
2014-07-31 06:31:19 PM janice13 if you have 20 people in a group and only 5 benefit you must change the activity or meet with the smaller group
2014-07-31 06:31:22 PM tonyap1 just o't buy the ones from walmart that don't melt
2014-07-31 06:31:30 PM terridenisetyler wow....true
2014-07-31 06:31:31 PM johndavid thats unrealistic
2014-07-31 06:31:32 PM janice13 that is a lot of daily activities
2014-07-31 06:31:37 PM shartman if those who come to an activity were hapy and got good out of the time then thats all teh matters- trying always helps but even a 1:1 is just as important as meeting with 15 people to play yahtzee
2014-07-31 06:31:50 PM tubbsretricia a whole lot
2014-07-31 06:31:57 PM janice13 my team has been shorted staffed while I have been out and that makes it hard to cover everything
2014-07-31 06:31:59 PM kathyhughes thats what happens when you state that a resident should go to 4-5 activities a week
2014-07-31 06:32:03 PM kathyhughes of their choice
2014-07-31 06:32:08 PM tonyap1 I was told today from regional that i need to get 25 volunteer
2014-07-31 06:32:10 PM pawood these are real like baby dolls the residents demenia who have them feel they are caring for their child it makes them safe and happy
2014-07-31 06:32:16 PM tonyap1 that is alot
2014-07-31 06:32:22 PM terridenisetyler very true
2014-07-31 06:32:26 PM sonceegreen good luck Tonya
2014-07-31 06:32:26 PM tubbsretricia yes of their choice
2014-07-31 06:32:28 PM amanda33 oh ok
2014-07-31 06:32:32 PM janice13 yes it does, we are going to the standars of activites and providing only activites that a resident request in their care plan
2014-07-31 06:32:34 PM tonyap1 I really have trouble getting vounteers
2014-07-31 06:32:42 PM sonceegreen me too
2014-07-31 06:32:43 PM jeannette1978 25 volunteers
2014-07-31 06:32:48 PM terridenisetyler me too
2014-07-31 06:32:49 PM jeannette1978 nice
2014-07-31 06:32:54 PM pawood 25 is a big number
2014-07-31 06:32:55 PM kathyhughes And that is why I have a section on volunteers for MEPAP2
2014-07-31 06:32:57 PM amanda33 yes volunteers r tough to come by
2014-07-31 06:33:02 PM janice13 my volunteer team is finally growing
2014-07-31 06:33:03 PM terridenisetyler wow 25? thats great!
2014-07-31 06:33:10 PM janice13 i love it
2014-07-31 06:33:13 PM kathyhughes and if you follow the readings you will be able to get more volunteers
2014-07-31 06:33:14 PM tonyap1 family say that they will help but they flake out when it is time
2014-07-31 06:33:17 PM tubbsretricia I only have 10
2014-07-31 06:33:25 PM amanda33 yes kathy it was very helpful srtill challeging

2014-07-31 06:33:36 PM fkirchgater i have been trying all of the churches. i had some great jr volunteers for summer but they are going back to summer practices soon.
2014-07-31 06:33:41 PM sonceegreen flers
2014-07-31 06:33:45 PM kathyhughes but you have to have specific job descriptions and spend time making connections
2014-07-31 06:33:47 PM shartman voluenteers are great! We had out voluenteer brunch in april- they appreciate it so much!
2014-07-31 06:33:47 PM charmaine Yes it was well researched, Kathy.
2014-07-31 06:33:47 PM terridenisetyler yes it's a bit of a challenge

2014-07-31 06:36:15 PM johndavid we havent gone to background checks for volunteers yet, but its coming soon
2014-07-31 06:36:23 PM tonyap1 yesnand they have to work in memory care also

2014-07-31 06:36:49 PM terridenisetyler wow that really limits you
2014-07-31 06:36:59 PM kathyhughes well Jon it will depend on your facility olicy
2014-07-31 06:37:00 PM jeannette1978 we have to bacround check everyone
2014-07-31 06:37:10 PM kathyhughes policy
2014-07-31 06:37:13 PM tonyap1 we so also
2014-07-31 06:37:17 PM tubbsretricia no back ground checks
2014-07-31 06:37:18 PM amanda33 oh interesting
2014-07-31 06:37:26 PM tonyap1 it makes sense
2014-07-31 06:37:31 PM pawood we do background checks
2014-07-31 06:37:33 PM janice13 just keep updated about any illness that may have had and keep them out when they are sick
2014-07-31 06:37:35 PM kathyhughes I only did background checks on volunteers who were unspervised
2014-07-31 06:37:47 PM terridenisetyler humm interesting
2014-07-31 06:37:51 PM kathyhughes unsupervised
2014-07-31 06:37:52 PM johndavid it has been discussed with the board of supervisors and i think they are wanting to start it soon. I personally am torn about it
2014-07-31 06:37:55 PM sonceegreen i think backgrounds are coming to our facility I will definitly be looking harder for volunteers
2014-07-31 06:38:01 PM pawood all our volunteers are unsupervied at some point
2014-07-31 06:38:02 PM amanda33 interesting
2014-07-31 06:38:06 PM janice13 we have to have them
2014-07-31 06:38:13 PM charmaine How do you do the background check through the police station?
2014-07-31 06:38:14 PM kathyhughes Supervised volunteers only did the orientation and TB/MMR
2014-07-31 06:38:20 PM tonyap1 they can't be unsurpvised until they are trained
2014-07-31 06:38:29 PM valerieh enter the chat room
2014-07-31 06:38:33 PM sonceegreen mine are supervised
2014-07-31 06:38:33 PM terridenisetyler MAR?
2014-07-31 06:38:34 PM janice13 ours are always in view of staff
2014-07-31 06:38:36 PM kathyhughes they have to get their own background checks
2014-07-31 06:38:38 PM kathyhughes MMR
2014-07-31 06:38:47 PM johndavid i think its great to ensure the safety of the residents, but if volunteering becomes a hassle to start we may not get that many from the community...in my opinion that is
2014-07-31 06:38:50 PM charmaine tHANKS.
2014-07-31 06:38:53 PM jeannette1978 we pay for ours
2014-07-31 06:38:55 PM kathyhughes Measles.Mumps/Rubella
2014-07-31 06:39:07 PM charmaine Okay.
2014-07-31 06:39:13 PM terridenisetyler okay makes sense
2014-07-31 06:39:14 PM amanda33 our company pays for them too
2014-07-31 06:39:20 PM janice13 if they truly want to volunteer they will compy with your policy
2014-07-31 06:39:20 PM kathyhughes think about this point
2014-07-31 06:39:25 PM terridenisetyler our company pays
2014-07-31 06:39:30 PM janice13 it protects them as well
2014-07-31 06:39:32 PM tonyap1 so does ours
2014-07-31 06:39:45 PM kathyhughes with the cutbacks in facilities being a dual dept may have its benefits
2014-07-31 06:39:53 PM tubbsretricia our volunteers are trated just like the rmployees
2014-07-31 06:39:54 PM kathyhughes and ut is job security
2014-07-31 06:39:58 PM terridenisetyler true
2014-07-31 06:40:02 PM janice13 yes it is
2014-07-31 06:40:04 PM tonyap1 right
2014-07-31 06:40:04 PM sonceegreen true
2014-07-31 06:40:07 PM tubbsretricia right
2014-07-31 06:40:11 PM charmaine Yes.
2014-07-31 06:40:14 PM pawood yep
2014-07-31 06:40:22 PM kathyhughes so think about spending some time getting some volunteers this fall
2014-07-31 06:40:31 PM terridenisetyler for sure
2014-07-31 06:40:35 PM tonyap1 thats my goal
2014-07-31 06:40:36 PM kathyhughes and investing some time in the program
2014-07-31 06:40:37 PM ginad yes
2014-07-31 06:40:37 PM sonceegreen already thinking about that
2014-07-31 06:40:44 PM janice13 i am already looking and trying to find out what they can do for our residents
2014-07-31 06:40:45 PM tubbsretricia okay
2014-07-31 06:40:49 PM amanda33 yes
2014-07-31 06:40:51 PM charmaine Definitely.
2014-07-31 06:40:52 PM shartman I dont think you can ever have too many! They can do so many things
2014-07-31 06:40:53 PM tonyap1 gotta squeeze that in
2014-07-31 06:40:57 PM janice13 invite them for coffee with the residents
2014-07-31 06:41:05 PM tonyap1 yes for tea
2014-07-31 06:41:12 PM janice13 or tea
2014-07-31 06:41:15 PM kathyhughes I would bring the tea to them
2014-07-31 06:41:27 PM shartman we do that after! They have afternoon snack and coffee from tiem to time and visit
2014-07-31 06:41:28 PM tonyap1 great idea
2014-07-31 06:41:30 PM johndavid i think where we are concerned is we get alot of volunteers from virginia tech and radford university. last year we had over 100 volunteers alone from the two universities
