2014-08-19 06:45:23 PM tracyl tablets would be great! our residents have been asking for stuff like that, i'm thinking about getting some refurbished ones because they are a little cheaper
2014-08-19 06:45:26 PM janicewatts cool
2014-08-19 06:45:29 PM 241130 Exactly! We are privately owned so we get very little for budgeting....
2014-08-19 06:45:30 PM kathyhughes We also used the Yule Log YouTube video for the holidays
2014-08-19 06:45:30 PM emoeckly IN2L has things for every cognitive stage. Touch screen
2014-08-19 06:45:31 PM jean1 my residents love having a "tv aquarium" in the background when they get their nails done.
2014-08-19 06:45:44 PM debbielee We have a computer on each floor for residents use. I can set it up there for the ones who want to watch live cams
2014-08-19 06:45:49 PM 241130 We JUST got a computer for our office. Before we shared with 5 other department heads..
2014-08-19 06:46:10 PM kathyhughes Sometimes if you are really nice to the manager of Best Buy they might give you a tablet
2014-08-19 06:46:10 PM lisao do you have a recycling center near you ? they sometimes get computers in and the refurbish them and often will donate them to a good cause
2014-08-19 06:46:13 PM carola That made things hard I'm sure.
2014-08-19 06:46:26 PM kathyhughes try freecycle
2014-08-19 06:46:32 PM tracyl we only have a recycle transfur station
2014-08-19 06:46:32 PM 241130 Oh yes.lol. Thats a good thought Kathy!

2014-08-19 06:47:09 PM carola I finally started bringing my own laptop because we had to share in our department...with two of us it was hard to get things done, you had even more on one computer.
2014-08-19 06:47:19 PM jklinski I want to be done with this course and the next one so I can start working in this field. lol
2014-08-19 06:47:22 PM emoeckly I am already in this position
2014-08-19 06:47:23 PM loriw its almost like you won't have to work another day in your life because you love what you do... doesn't seem like work.
2014-08-19 06:47:33 PM emoeckly It is a lot of fun and very stressful at times
2014-08-19 06:47:45 PM jean1 Yes, I love this career! The time just flies.
2014-08-19 06:47:45 PM tracyl I actually enjoy going to work! it's a nice change :)
2014-08-19 06:47:56 PM 241130 Exactly. I never stress with residents. ...maybe other coworkers :p
2014-08-19 06:48:02 PM nacresia35 i think the fish tank or cat would be a great thing for our residents
2014-08-19 06:48:10 PM emoeckly Other coworkers and some families
2014-08-19 06:48:11 PM kathyhughes There were days when I thought......"They actually pay me to do this"
2014-08-19 06:48:15 PM tracyl we can't get a cat because they are a trip hazard
2014-08-19 06:48:16 PM 241130 My last day was this past Friday and the residents threw this going away party for me. Lots of tears and concerns about whether i'd bring my dog back to visit lol
2014-08-19 06:48:19 PM jklinski Questions: Once I get certified its national right? I can work in any state?
2014-08-19 06:48:20 PM lisao some days I wonder why I get paid to do what I do - but then it evens out with the days I have to remind myself I love my job lol
2014-08-19 06:48:23 PM carola Just thinking the same thing, 241130...most of the time anyway!
2014-08-19 06:48:39 PM tracyl yes it is national jklinski
2014-08-19 06:48:39 PM 241130 haha
2014-08-19 06:48:43 PM kathyhughes and then there were days when I thought....."They don't pay me enough to do this!"
2014-08-19 06:48:48 PM debbielee its a lot of work for me right now but I have to say I love my job and if I can make residents enjoy their time with us it is worth it
2014-08-19 06:48:52 PM 241130 exactly!
2014-08-19 06:48:52 PM loriw LOL
2014-08-19 06:48:55 PM jean1 Today in a care conference we were sitting there with the whole team and the resident points to me and says, "I want to commend you. No matter what is going on, you always have a big smile on your face when I see you. That really lifts my spirits." Hearing him say that made me SO happy to be doing this kind of work!
2014-08-19 06:48:57 PM mariak same sentiments here, kathy! lol
2014-08-19 06:48:58 PM emoeckly Sooooo true Kathy
2014-08-19 06:49:01 PM emoeckly PErfectly put
2014-08-19 06:49:15 PM sarahe Kathy: What is the average pay for an activity director and activity assistant?
2014-08-19 06:49:23 PM tbender What a great compliment and testament of your work!
2014-08-19 06:49:28 PM kathyhughes thats a good question
2014-08-19 06:49:29 PM loriw good question sarahe!
2014-08-19 06:49:34 PM nacresia35 no only is it a busy job everyone needs me
2014-08-19 06:49:34 PM loriw see??

2014-08-19 06:49:36 PM jklinski look it up on Salary.com
2014-08-19 06:49:36 PM emoeckly jean! those are the moments we look for doing this job
2014-08-19 06:49:47 PM carola Made it worth while, huh? What a blessing you are!
2014-08-19 06:49:51 PM 241130 It depends by state I assume
2014-08-19 06:49:53 PM jklinski U can look it up for your particular state
2014-08-19 06:49:53 PM kathyhughes and I can't answer it without saying it depends on a lot of factores
2014-08-19 06:50:00 PM emoeckly I know you want to be humble but write that down because you will need that again on a rough day
2014-08-19 06:50:01 PM 241130 true
2014-08-19 06:50:04 PM debbielee I am the only full time person in my department right now so it is sometimes overwhelming
2014-08-19 06:50:18 PM loriw me too debbielee
2014-08-19 06:50:19 PM tracyl i read that for a director it can be between 30k-60k but it all depends on different factors like Kathy said
2014-08-19 06:50:23 PM kathyhughes Your Medicaid rate, the number of residents you have, the cost of living in your area
2014-08-19 06:50:26 PM carriesl it can be great and overwhelming!
2014-08-19 06:50:45 PM debbielee and rewarding
2014-08-19 06:50:50 PM kathyhughes How old your facility is...where your facility is and what the previous people made
2014-08-19 06:50:54 PM carriesl but i love it ive been in the building for 8 yrs
2014-08-19 06:51:01 PM 241130 This is not a job to get into for the money- its a job to get into for the rewards. Everyday its unconditional love.
2014-08-19 06:51:08 PM loriw I was overwhelmed yesterday because two patients had to be hospitalized...
2014-08-19 06:51:23 PM sarahe My goodness! There are a ton of factors!
2014-08-19 06:51:23 PM lisao I make right around 30 - but expect to get a raise once I get credentials - however I work with people with disabilities - not LTC
2014-08-19 06:51:27 PM 241130 Why did that overwhelm you Lori?
2014-08-19 06:51:31 PM carola I'm so sorry.
2014-08-19 06:51:36 PM kathyhughes Here in NY you can make 70K in the "city" or minimum wage in the rural parts
2014-08-19 06:51:52 PM loriw compassion and not knowing if they would be coming back.
2014-08-19 06:51:57 PM debbielee I am still grateful for all the community help I get. and the staff that are helpful
2014-08-19 06:52:10 PM kathyhughes Make sure to send then a thinking of you card
2014-08-19 06:52:18 PM lisao I am salleried - so some weeks it seems like I make about $2.50 an hour lol
2014-08-19 06:52:22 PM 241130 (I didn't mean for that to sound insensitive- I didn't know if your role where you work was different. More involved with transport, etc)
2014-08-19 06:52:28 PM loriw Is it appropriate to stop by the hospital and see them?
2014-08-19 06:52:29 PM emoeckly Or go visit them Sarah
2014-08-19 06:52:36 PM kathyhughes Yes you can
2014-08-19 06:52:37 PM 241130 I visit my residents in the hospital
2014-08-19 06:52:39 PM emoeckly That is what I do. I also bring them a gift
2014-08-19 06:52:42 PM 241130 They love it!
2014-08-19 06:52:44 PM kathyhughes absolutely
2014-08-19 06:52:47 PM carola Get all the residents and staff to sign it, too. Makes it extra special!
2014-08-19 06:52:48 PM mariak community involvement is really a blessing to have for a SNF...
2014-08-19 06:52:49 PM loriw awesome!!!!

2014-08-19 06:53:12 PM kathyhughes I bet that they would
2014-08-19 06:53:14 PM janicewatts good idea
2014-08-19 06:53:20 PM debbielee I visit my residents in the hospital as well. We are connected to the hospital so it does make it easier
2014-08-19 06:53:24 PM emoeckly They really do. And then the family also feel supported
2014-08-19 06:53:31 PM kathyhughes you can make the cards ahead
2014-08-19 06:53:40 PM tbender carriesl I was also goin t suggest the group get well card
2014-08-19 06:53:42 PM carriesl absolutly
2014-08-19 06:53:43 PM loriw when a patient has to be hospitalized.... other residents ask about them.... what do you say?
2014-08-19 06:53:44 PM nacresia35 well my administator true story stop likeing me afther she hired her husband to be a maintance because the one we had he had a stroke she been trying to fire me just cause but all the depatment heads stood up for me and she had to back down she still dont like me and want say one words but im not here for her to like me i love the residents and im not quiting for nobody
2014-08-19 06:54:08 PM meganisabel I also visit my tesidents when they are in the hospital.. the families seem to appreciee it
2014-08-19 06:54:10 PM kathyhughes good for you Nacresia

2014-08-19 06:54:40 PM tracyl I usually work over 40hours a week so it would be hard to find time to visit them but I would definitly send cards or flowers
2014-08-19 06:54:43 PM lisao po;itics is never good
2014-08-19 06:54:55 PM kathyhughes for sure

2014-08-19 06:55:08 PM tbender its sad that some people lik tht work in a place where they are supposd to bring joy and comfort
2014-08-19 06:55:15 PM kathyhughes right
2014-08-19 06:55:16 PM 241130 Very True
2014-08-19 06:55:17 PM emoeckly loriw, you cant tell them.
2014-08-19 06:55:43 PM 241130 Some people need to learn how to separate personal from professional. We dont have to like all of our coworkers but we have to treat them with respect and be professional
2014-08-19 06:55:45 PM loriw I know you can't tell them due to privacy..... but what do you say?
2014-08-19 06:55:49 PM carola We set out cards for people in the library and post a note inviting residents and staff to stop by and sign them. Make an announcement in bingo and almost everyone knows they are there!
2014-08-19 06:55:50 PM kathyhughes You can tell them that they will be back soon
2014-08-19 06:55:56 PM emoeckly You have to say you unfortunaitly cant tell them that but you can ask the family if they are comfortable with outher residents contacting them
2014-08-19 06:56:01 PM jklinski @tbender healthcare facilities are the worst for that, it amazes me. Staff will smile in your face and throw u right under the bus first chance they get
2014-08-19 06:56:01 PM kathyhughes and that they can sign the card for them
2014-08-19 06:56:31 PM tbender @jklinski exactly!

2014-08-19 06:58:38 PM loriw Good night sweetheart, well its time to go......Nighters!

2014-08-19 06:59:13 PM mariak ok, kathy... lots of learnings done from you and the group! time just fly fast...
2014-08-19 06:59:21 PM jean1 left the chat room
2014-08-19 06:59:25 PM carriesl i dont use the calendar either i like the particiaption sheet
2014-08-19 06:59:27 PM kathyhughes and if they see that its easier they might switch
2014-08-19 06:59:35 PM carola left the chat room
2014-08-19 06:59:55 PM kathyhughes It sure does
2014-08-19 06:59:55 PM tracyl if i write on the bottom of each residents calander "daily individual activites" and list them and they may not do some of them every day would it be wrong for me to write that?
2014-08-19 06:59:56 PM carriesl my opion but i think it is more acurate
2014-08-19 07:00:13 PM kathyhughes no Tracy
2014-08-19 07:00:43 PM kathyhughes If it works for you then use it
2014-08-19 07:01:00 PM tracyl okay i thought so, one of my staff members keep telling me i can't do that, and i kept telling her i could do it, she keeps writing numbers on the calanders and it drives me nuts
2014-08-19 07:01:08 PM kathyhughes but remember that those visits you make that are not on the calendar might be missed
2014-08-19 07:01:20 PM emoeckly I have used both. It depends on the person. It doesn't matter what method I use, I always have a note section on the back to have more detailed info.
2014-08-19 07:01:29 PM kathyhughes sometimes we have to take change slowly
2014-08-19 07:01:29 PM tracyl right thats what i said to her
2014-08-19 07:01:42 PM carriesl shouldnt everyone be doing the same charting methoud
2014-08-19 07:01:55 PM emoeckly I also have a visit sheet I chart on, and on outdoors sheet to show who I was able to get outside and go for a walk
2014-08-19 07:01:58 PM tracyl i think that maybe i changed the process to quickly for her, she has been there for over 20years and i have been there for a month and a half
2014-08-19 07:02:13 PM kathyhughes And we just simply had the residents sign in for activitises and those that couldn't we would write their names on the sign in sheets
2014-08-19 07:02:13 PM superbonbon23 enter the chat room
2014-08-19 07:02:20 PM emoeckly Lol yes that is fast.
2014-08-19 07:02:34 PM kathyhughes Have a good night all
2014-08-19 07:02:37 PM tracyl I feel much better about my method now :)
2014-08-19 07:02:39 PM kathyhughes thanks for joining me
2014-08-19 07:02:44 PM emoeckly But if you are able to do your job more enficiently, then it works

2014-08-21 05:56:03 PM debbie134 Hi. Our DON told us today that we offer too many spiritual activities. Is there a guideline of some sort?
2014-08-21 05:56:31 PM jackie3 o...lol...i do better reading from paper..dont know why... i print of all of my reading assignments and keep them but i havent printed the book
2014-08-21 05:56:32 PM kathyhughes No there isn't except the FTag248
2014-08-21 05:56:45 PM wward I agree..lots of reading, but I usually don't get to start on the assignments until the weekend. I did MEPAP I at a local community college. How do I know if my practicum site has been approved?
2014-08-21 05:57:02 PM kathyhughes and the guidelines state that its up to the residents
2014-08-21 05:57:26 PM jackie3 no..... as long as residents have a say...you do what they want
2014-08-21 05:57:35 PM fkirchgater enter the chat room
2014-08-21 05:57:42 PM debbie134 We offer Rosary and Mass for our Catholic Residents and Bible Study for anyone who wants to join along with a non denominational weekly service on Sunday by resident request.
2014-08-21 05:58:19 PM jackie3 well if residents requested it then youre golden!!! right kathy??
2014-08-21 05:58:32 PM kathyhughes Wendy all you have to do is have your Practicum Advisor sign the Practicum Advisor forms

2014-08-21 05:59:35 PM terridenisetyler Hi all!
2014-08-21 05:59:35 PM fkirchgater because my DON sat me down and told me that I am not going to pass muster with state, i am a department of one and i am a little overwhelmed
2014-08-21 05:59:44 PM kathyhughes Here are the requirements for the Advisor an Activity Director Certified (ADC)an Activity Consultant Certified (ACC)a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS)a Department Head in your facility with at least 5 years of experienceor the Administrator
2014-08-21 05:59:49 PM fkirchgater i run every program i can but i do not know what to do
2014-08-21 05:59:53 PM jackie3 muster?

2014-08-21 06:00:21 PM wward My advisor signed the Practicum Advisor forms, and I faxed them to you. Do I need to wait for some sort of approval before beginning the practicum assignments? My advisor is a CTRS.
2014-08-21 06:00:24 PM kathyhughes I would ask the DON what she ment by that
2014-08-21 06:00:37 PM robertonkst Hello everyone! Hope all is well
2014-08-21 06:00:41 PM kathyhughes Nope you are fine Wendy
2014-08-21 06:00:43 PM debbie134 Does your calendar reflect S.P.I.E.S. programs?
2014-08-21 06:01:24 PM kathyhughes And I would't worry about it Frances and just keep doing what you are doing
2014-08-21 06:01:36 PM kathyhughes Perhaps nursing might not pass
2014-08-21 06:01:40 PM jackie3 DOCUMENT!!!
2014-08-21 06:01:48 PM wward Ok. I guess I need to get busy on the practicum assignments then!
