2014-08-21 06:43:17 PM debbie134 Jackie, you could be sued for everything you have.
2014-08-21 06:43:20 PM carolynlnig debbie. you must have some expenses with that set up
2014-08-21 06:43:27 PM jackie3 even with family consent
2014-08-21 06:43:29 PM tubbsretricia the company put the insurance on my truck
2014-08-21 06:43:47 PM tubbsretricia I thought it was okay
2014-08-21 06:43:48 PM kathyhughes You need to check your insurance policy and talk to your insurance person and then pay the higher premiums
2014-08-21 06:43:57 PM aferguson We have been working on that-a lot of the community ones that come in they are bored with, so reaching out to new places and admin being okay with something new is a slow but steady process----and in rural Alaska, you would be surprised what goes on :)
2014-08-21 06:43:59 PM debbie134 Caroyln, we did 2 trips in one week. Never again.
2014-08-21 06:44:09 PM tubbsretricia oh okay
2014-08-21 06:44:17 PM kathyhughes Family can consent all they want...however there is a lone relative living in Montanna who can sue you
2014-08-21 06:44:31 PM carolynlnig Can volunteers drive residents on outings in their cars?
2014-08-21 06:44:35 PM kathyhughes NO
2014-08-21 06:44:39 PM debbie134 NO!!!
2014-08-21 06:44:39 PM wward I agree...taking a resident in your car, even with family consent, would make your insurance agent have a stroke! I bet the rates would be astronomical
2014-08-21 06:44:42 PM tubbsretricia Wow okay. I will check tomorrow
2014-08-21 06:44:45 PM jackie3 REALLY????? hmmm thought only RPs had a say
2014-08-21 06:44:53 PM kathyhughes NO
2014-08-21 06:45:02 PM jackie3 thanks Kathy
2014-08-21 06:45:04 PM robertonkst i wouldn't take the risk
2014-08-21 06:45:14 PM kathyhughes any family member can sue....do you watch the TV lawyers ads????
2014-08-21 06:45:20 PM aferguson At my old job we also had our own van, and did a variety of outings twice a month. It was a lot, but really great! And, only activity aides assisted and went. Here, we have volunteers meet us at the site, and assist with shopping, but no restrooming
2014-08-21 06:45:33 PM jackie3 no really i dont ...
2014-08-21 06:45:35 PM kathyhughes heck a distant relative you never knew existed can
2014-08-21 06:45:41 PM aferguson And, at least one activity aide goes
2014-08-21 06:45:42 PM jackie3 wow
2014-08-21 06:45:44 PM carolynlnig aferguson, good idea
2014-08-21 06:45:47 PM tubbsretricia No... I trusted the company i work for. Have no idea they would put me at risk
2014-08-21 06:46:10 PM kathyhughes First they would sue the facility and then they can sue you
2014-08-21 06:46:22 PM kathyhughes even if the resident is on Medicaid
2014-08-21 06:46:27 PM tubbsretricia okay, I got it. Thank a million
2014-08-21 06:46:50 PM jackie3 ok good thing it was brought up
2014-08-21 06:46:52 PM debbie134 Especially if the resident is on Medicare. The state would sue too!
2014-08-21 06:46:55 PM aferguson I just wish I could reach more of the wheelchair bound residents-only two spots on the cab van, so the people who go out the most are not the ones who need it the most
2014-08-21 06:47:03 PM kathyhughes and remember Andrea...there is Skype with other facilities and schools
2014-08-21 06:47:13 PM tubbsretricia yes it is a good thing we covered this
2014-08-21 06:47:17 PM fkirchgater no internet at our facility either
2014-08-21 06:47:22 PM adh0516 agreed aferguson
2014-08-21 06:47:35 PM carolynlnig agreed afegysib
2014-08-21 06:47:38 PM robertonkst on our outings we always have two activity assistants and a CNA or one activity assistant and one activity supervisor and a CNA. on every trip
2014-08-21 06:47:44 PM kathyhughes and there are a lot of ways to have the community interact without leaving the facility
2014-08-21 06:47:47 PM tubbsretricia I agree too
2014-08-21 06:47:48 PM debbie134 Andrea - give me two months and our facility would love to Skype with you. Of course we are on the East Coast so timing could be a challenge
2014-08-21 06:47:53 PM noemi we only have to spots for wheelchairs on our bus too but we get the county bus sometimes that has more and it's free
2014-08-21 06:48:08 PM tubbsretricia I only take them to the doctor
2014-08-21 06:48:20 PM jackie3 im just really trying to prepare for christmas parade which comes by not even a 1/2 mile from us
2014-08-21 06:48:22 PM kathyhughes I called places to bring in their stuff and set them up in our lobby
2014-08-21 06:48:40 PM kathyhughes and would have restaurants cater lunches
2014-08-21 06:48:43 PM adh0516 on outings it's only me and a cna
2014-08-21 06:48:49 PM kathyhughes and had stores bring stuff in
2014-08-21 06:49:00 PM jackie3 stores? really??
2014-08-21 06:49:00 PM kathyhughes and the museums had outreach programs
2014-08-21 06:49:04 PM jackie3 cool
2014-08-21 06:49:07 PM aferguson Yes, I would like to make more use of computer, and community, thanks, that's an idea, interaction with other long term facilities, even pen pal ideas-Great ideas Kathy about restaruants catering lunches, and stores coming in
2014-08-21 06:49:09 PM kathyhughes yes all you have to do is ask
2014-08-21 06:49:24 PM robertonkst thats a great idea. having the mall come to you kinda
2014-08-21 06:49:25 PM carolynlnig Our Day Center bus has two lock down wheelchair spots but some of our participants can transfer into a regular seat, so we get to take one extra w/c rider
2014-08-21 06:49:39 PM kathyhughes now don't think that they will do that on Black Friday! LOL
2014-08-21 06:49:47 PM terridenisetyler lol
2014-08-21 06:49:48 PM tubbsretricia lol
2014-08-21 06:49:48 PM kathyhughes but you can also catalog shop
2014-08-21 06:50:14 PM robertonkst thats a good idea, i know my wife's friend does mary kay and another sells jewlery or pampered chef or something
2014-08-21 06:50:25 PM tubbsretricia I like to shop online with the residents
2014-08-21 06:50:32 PM kathyhughes and there are lots of ways to bring them into the facility
2014-08-21 06:50:47 PM kathyhughes There you go Robert! A mini mall!
2014-08-21 06:50:59 PM robertonkst (y)
2014-08-21 06:51:15 PM adh0516 a mary kay lady just came in and did facial for the residents and employees
2014-08-21 06:51:17 PM kathyhughes and when they do come in....have a shopping cart with their items on the cart to go room to room
2014-08-21 06:51:35 PM aferguson We brought the fair to our residents-each week a different theme, such as food entries, craft, sewing, garden and produce, had fair and carnival games during exercise, and country music, its been great!
2014-08-21 06:51:48 PM robertonkst that's a great idea as well!
2014-08-21 06:51:50 PM kathyhughes I found someone who made all sorts of gift baskets and she would come in for every holiday
2014-08-21 06:52:01 PM kathyhughes the residents loved it as did the staff
2014-08-21 06:52:13 PM tubbsretricia they love to shop
2014-08-21 06:52:31 PM kathyhughes Ok...here is the new food from the NY state fair that started today....ready?
2014-08-21 06:52:41 PM aferguson Our residents judged and voted-we are preparing for them to make canned goods for upcoming garage sale to community to raise funds for resident council- I love the shopping ideas

2014-08-21 06:53:13 PM noemi we had someone come in who collected old christmas cards and we cut them up to make new ones
