2014-08-14 05:42:49 PM kathyhughes and that would also include the "Incidental Note" that we had in MEPAP1 and might even write a note regularly on what happened
2014-08-14 05:43:04 PM kathyhughes Hello Alex
2014-08-14 05:43:04 PM fkirchgater great idea, forgot about that
2014-08-14 05:43:29 PM kathyhughes That is why we had that because of residents with mental health issues
2014-08-14 05:43:47 PM kathyhughes and that we have to be as fact oriented as possible
2014-08-14 05:43:54 PM robertonkst I know I've had to use that before.. Many residents where I work have mental health issues
2014-08-14 05:44:29 PM fkirchgater i think i just may be a little overwhelmed, maybe emotional right now because i don't usually let it get to me
2014-08-14 05:44:53 PM kathyhughes Residents with mental health issues can be extremely manipulative and sometimes they can sense that the activities folks can be an easy target
2014-08-14 05:45:21 PM fkirchgater left the chat room
2014-08-14 05:45:21 PM fkirchgater enter the chat room
2014-08-14 05:45:24 PM kathyhughes so they will blame activities for everything....so we have to make sure that we have documented the behavior
2014-08-14 05:45:50 PM robertonkst It's hard not to let it get to you sometimes! A lot of my family and friends think activities is all fun and games, but it can be stressful working with the different personalities and mental illnesses of some of the residents
2014-08-14 05:46:06 PM kathyhughes right
2014-08-14 05:46:11 PM fkirchgater yes it sure can
2014-08-14 05:46:28 PM kathyhughes But remember there are a whole bunch of other people who appreciate us
2014-08-14 05:46:35 PM fkirchgater i know not to take it personally, but it can be hard sometimes
2014-08-14 05:46:50 PM robertonkst you're right kathy and those are the people who make it truly worth it
2014-08-14 05:46:57 PM fkirchgater amen!
2014-08-14 05:46:58 PM kathyhughes and sometimes we spend way too much energy letting them get to us
2014-08-14 05:47:30 PM robertonkst i mostly try to let their negativity go in one ear and out the other!
2014-08-14 05:47:48 PM kathyhughes So I would document any encounters with this resident for about a month and then let the resident complain
2014-08-14 05:47:51 PM fkirchgater me too, but lately that seems to not work for me, feeling a little weak lol
2014-08-14 05:47:53 PM kathyhughes and complain
2014-08-14 05:48:05 PM kathyhughes you need to look at everyone else
2014-08-14 05:48:05 PM fkirchgater cool, that's exactly what i am gonna do

2014-08-14 05:50:24 PM kathyhughes and remember that surviving a facility is hard as a resident and the more attention that you can get from people better you will feel and the residents try really hard to get that limited attention

2014-08-14 06:06:15 PM kathyhughes and Pam...what interests me the most is that would nursing help out activities if they got a defiency?
2014-08-14 06:06:25 PM aferguson Kathy, been wanting to ask this awhile, forgive me if a dumb question, but do they offer the activity director exam in Alaska? Do I have to fly somewhere else to take it?
2014-08-14 06:06:28 PM pawood no way

2014-08-14 06:08:53 PM katcarpender yes, lucky! its about 101 on average around 3pm the past like month
2014-08-14 06:09:08 PM kathyhughes So I guess my question would be why are you assisting nursing so much and not being able to do your job which would cause a deficency just as easily
2014-08-14 06:09:13 PM sonceegreen hot here too

2014-08-14 06:10:06 PM aferguson We have the same problem on our memory care unit-activity aides who here are also certified nursing assistants often are assisting with daily cares and meals rather than doing actual activities. Not much support to change it
2014-08-14 06:10:10 PM katcarpender yes. a lot of brookdale facilities in and around my parts
2014-08-14 06:10:11 PM charmaine Kathy, will chats only be on Thursday nights, after we are through with MEPAP 2 I would still like to journ in the class?

2014-08-14 06:11:30 PM pawood dont get me wrong we have a great facility but what we got hit with was stupidity by cna workers not caring about documentation
2014-08-14 06:11:43 PM kleson03 whats the chat about today?
2014-08-14 06:11:44 PM robertonkst Hollidaysburg is the largest of the state's veterans homes
2014-08-14 06:11:51 PM katcarpender yah, did my internship there too back in 2011
2014-08-14 06:11:51 PM debbie134 Is there just 1 Activity director for 500 beds?
2014-08-14 06:11:58 PM shottinger our cnas dont want to assist with activities
2014-08-14 06:11:59 PM terridenisetyler wow
2014-08-14 06:12:09 PM katcarpender do you know Kerry Hartwick? the AD theree?
2014-08-14 06:12:13 PM sonceegreen our cnas either
2014-08-14 06:12:21 PM shottinger they like to drop off residents in act. and leave
2014-08-14 06:12:23 PM kathyhughes I would say that perhaps its time to educate CNA's about documentation and see what they really need to do
2014-08-14 06:12:25 PM terridenisetyler no haven't meet her yet
2014-08-14 06:12:31 PM sonceegreen was actually told not their job
2014-08-14 06:12:34 PM robertonkst right there is just one activity director, then there are two therapeutic residential service workers, then there are about 15 activity assistants

2014-08-14 06:12:57 PM debbie134 Most of our CNAs are great. I have learned that sending them an email that tells them how valued they are pays off.
2014-08-14 06:13:01 PM charmaine I agree, Kathy.
2014-08-14 06:13:02 PM pawood the gov was just there to visit

2014-08-14 06:13:09 PM aferguson That is something I am working on now that I have the CNA under my belt, trying to motivate a mindset of a universal care worker-they have so many opportunities for one to one activities-they just need training and education and time to do them, even modify am and pm cares to incorporate more fun
