2014-09-11 06:22:50 PM onelliaad the are so many things to do but we can not plaese every one
2014-09-11 06:22:52 PM kathyhughes and Dept heads
2014-09-11 06:22:59 PM carolynlnig Communi9cation is so important and finding ways to do that with all the staff you have in nursing homes and ALF's is tremendous task
2014-09-11 06:23:00 PM lisaturske That is who asked the question....my admin! :(
2014-09-11 06:23:04 PM dthompson I agree there is too much work and not enough people. I eat my lunch on the run and I only get a break if I go to the bathroom
2014-09-11 06:23:06 PM anthonyalviar The most difficult part of my week is wednesday. The whole day I'm doing room visit for our vent unit.
2014-09-11 06:23:20 PM kathyhughes and I bet the ADM doesn't know your regulations
2014-09-11 06:23:25 PM kathyhughes time to share
2014-09-11 06:23:37 PM kathyhughes esp Ftag248
2014-09-11 06:23:39 PM danac we have problems getting some of the CNA's to have residents toileted on time for activities. They act surprised when we ask asked and they're the same time everyday
2014-09-11 06:23:44 PM kathyhughes and what we have to do
2014-09-11 06:23:53 PM lizmacinnes Mine won't let me have an assistant to work with me. Great boss but doesn't understand the demands in our activities room.
2014-09-11 06:23:58 PM lisaturske She is under a lot of pressure right now. Census is low in our region. Staff hours are being cut, etc. I'm sure that played a part in her thinking.
2014-09-11 06:23:59 PM jackie3 Our administration and department heads support us...its just getting the staff to follow through when their boss tells them to help..some do and some dont
2014-09-11 06:24:12 PM jackie3 lisa where are you
2014-09-11 06:24:28 PM onelliaad my administrator support my dpt.
2014-09-11 06:24:41 PM danac same with us jackie
2014-09-11 06:24:45 PM kathyhughes Its great to have support from the staff
2014-09-11 06:24:49 PM lisaturske South hills of Pittsburgh, PA
2014-09-11 06:24:56 PM jackie3 o ok
2014-09-11 06:24:56 PM lizmacinnes it's so helpful
2014-09-11 06:25:04 PM kathyhughes but we assume that everyone knows why we do what we do
2014-09-11 06:25:19 PM lizmacinnes very true
2014-09-11 06:25:50 PM kathyhughes so we have to get some inservices together to teach the staff what we are responsible for
2014-09-11 06:26:00 PM lizmacinnes I get a lot of support from resident's families. It's so nice!
2014-09-11 06:26:20 PM kathyhughes thats great!
2014-09-11 06:26:20 PM dthompson I get a lot of volunteers from the area churches
2014-09-11 06:26:22 PM carolynlnig There are never enough people, staff and/or volunteers to truly give the service we want to give our beloved residents. They are precious people who need just the simple touch and time given to therm
2014-09-11 06:26:33 PM anthonyalviar we had an inservice this afternoon with our ombudsman.
2014-09-11 06:26:42 PM lisaturske where are you, jackie? do you have a similar situation with census?
2014-09-11 06:26:43 PM kathyhughes what was the subject?
2014-09-11 06:26:46 PM onelliaad kathy I sow an add that a companyh looking for AD for them asisting living in Fl. but they wan a person with BA in business,sales.or marketing, what do you think?
2014-09-11 06:26:49 PM carolynlnig how did that in-service go?
2014-09-11 06:26:55 PM anthonyalviar Residents rights.
2014-09-11 06:26:59 PM kathyhughes I say apply
2014-09-11 06:27:11 PM onelliaad Marketing,?
2014-09-11 06:27:15 PM kathyhughes I always applied and would interview
2014-09-11 06:27:25 PM danac we also got a lot of help from volunteers volunteers! It's great!
2014-09-11 06:27:30 PM dthompson Most of my volunteers are in their 70's and I am not going to ask them to push the big heavy wheelchairs down the hallways. But they are great at running BINGO and other programs
2014-09-11 06:27:37 PM onelliaad sounds more like admissions position for me
2014-09-11 06:27:44 PM kathyhughes Marketing...yes....they are looking for someone to help get people to keep the place open
2014-09-11 06:27:51 PM kathyhughes Hey you should go for it
2014-09-11 06:27:55 PM jackie3 i get criticized by my own staff sometimes for not helping on the floor as much as they do. they think my AD responsibilities are a piece of cake and i shouldnt need to spend time in my office. Making the calendar can be difficult when trying to meet needs and providing what is required by regionals
2014-09-11 06:27:59 PM carolynlnig Go for it!
2014-09-11 06:28:03 PM kathyhughes what is the worse that can happen?
2014-09-11 06:28:12 PM jackie3 and im on the floor a lot tho
2014-09-11 06:28:24 PM lizmacinnes it would be a good a good experieince. It's always good to interview. You have nothing to lose!
2014-09-11 06:28:40 PM kathyhughes you will learn what they really want
2014-09-11 06:28:47 PM onelliaad no really in my building we need to work in admissions every 6 weeks on weekends and is to much stress to sale the beds
2014-09-11 06:28:49 PM kathyhughes and Jackie that happens all over
2014-09-11 06:29:06 PM kathyhughes I would apply and see what they mean
2014-09-11 06:29:09 PM carolynlnig Jackie, do you ever let them see what papwork you do? Do you ask them to try to fill just three days of acalendar, meeting the needs of syour people?
2014-09-11 06:29:12 PM aferguson enter the chat room
2014-09-11 06:29:13 PM kathyhughes you never know
2014-09-11 06:29:13 PM jackie3 glad im not the only one
2014-09-11 06:29:21 PM kathyhughes Hello Andrea
2014-09-11 06:29:33 PM danac i have a 62 year old and a 70 year old in my department and they are both two crazy fabulous ladies
2014-09-11 06:29:37 PM aferguson HI Everyone, got here late due to meetiong,s orry
2014-09-11 06:29:37 PM kathyhughes good idea Carolyn
2014-09-11 06:29:48 PM lizmacinnes Hi
2014-09-11 06:30:13 PM kathyhughes Sometimes delegating the responsibility for the paperwork helps
2014-09-11 06:30:24 PM danac they have both been there for over 30 years and I don't know what I'd do without them
2014-09-11 06:30:26 PM anthonyalviar My assistant is 76 yrs old but she is still very efficient
2014-09-11 06:30:27 PM lizmacinnes I do my calendar at home. Not enough time in the day.
2014-09-11 06:30:36 PM kathyhughes and having staff do assessments will introduce them to the paperwork
2014-09-11 06:30:40 PM aferguson my supervisor says we don't really "market" here...don't need to since only long term around, never a low census day
2014-09-11 06:30:51 PM carolynlnig I work only day center and I have only two other gals, one p.t. and one f,.t. They are terrific and since I hve been meting with them each month, and get our flow sheets out on the first of the month, they are greatful and we work better now a a team
2014-09-11 06:30:58 PM lizmacinnes my notes..... I have to ask the nurses to get someone to cover for me or I can't get them done.
2014-09-11 06:31:03 PM aferguson but disadvantage is it doesn't always leave a place open for change
2014-09-11 06:31:14 PM danac that's great Anthony
2014-09-11 06:31:30 PM jackie3 ive thought about letting each one do the calendar one month and having regional grade them
2014-09-11 06:31:54 PM anthonyalviar Residents love her she dance with them, do their nails and spoil them with candies and ice cream
2014-09-11 06:32:06 PM lizmacinnes haha. Then they would see what you're up against. Great idea!
2014-09-11 06:32:06 PM onelliaad good job
2014-09-11 06:32:11 PM kathyhughes that might work...but having them do the calendars would help them see what has to be done
2014-09-11 06:32:29 PM carolynlnig Anthony has a keeper!
2014-09-11 06:32:35 PM kathyhughes I know
2014-09-11 06:32:51 PM danac my 2 girls are the same, they have more energy than half the kids on staff
2014-09-11 06:32:57 PM kathyhughes So what are you all planning for Halloween for activities?
2014-09-11 06:33:00 PM onelliaad lol
2014-09-11 06:33:11 PM jackie3 monster mash with daycare kids
2014-09-11 06:33:22 PM lizmacinnes staff costume party for the residents?
2014-09-11 06:33:32 PM jackie3 costume contest and let residents judge
2014-09-11 06:33:40 PM onelliaad a staff custom contest
2014-09-11 06:33:41 PM anthonyalviar besides of being an excellent co-worker she is also a great cook. SO i can't go wrong with her.
2014-09-11 06:33:45 PM kathyhughes what do you do during a Monster Mah?
2014-09-11 06:33:57 PM aferguson We are having harvest week, each day we are dressing up with a different theme, children come and trick or treat on Halloween, and we were thinking of getting costumes from local kind of "salvation army" type store and dressing up residents for fun
2014-09-11 06:33:58 PM carolynlnig making a scarecrow out of old jeans and an old flanel shirt, stuffed with newspaper and some raffi or straw sticking out of the pants and sleeves
2014-09-11 06:34:08 PM lisaturske costume parade, pumpkin decorating and scarecrow stuffing contest - all will be judged by residents. Halloween party with games, prizes and snacks.
2014-09-11 06:34:09 PM lizmacinnes I never thought about the residents judging. Thank you.
2014-09-11 06:34:17 PM danac Halloween my favorite holiday! We have a safe trick or treating and a huge monster mash. Costume contest as well
2014-09-11 06:34:20 PM carolynlnig Keep bragging, Anthony! You are blessed
2014-09-11 06:34:30 PM aferguson we will also be pumpkin carving and painting based on resident request
2014-09-11 06:34:31 PM dthompson Parterning with a children's daycare for treak or treating in the morning. Party in the afternoon. Carving pumpkins on the Tuesday before. Costume for everyone - staff will be judged by department.
2014-09-11 06:34:39 PM onelliaad thay are having a lot of fun
2014-09-11 06:34:54 PM aferguson staff and residents dress up together
2014-09-11 06:34:54 PM jackie3 set up different game stations and let the residents host the kids...its kinda like a halloween carnival just a little smaller...music punch and yall gave me the idea last week to put dry ice in the punch
2014-09-11 06:34:55 PM kathyhughes Any good Halloween Movies?
2014-09-11 06:34:57 PM danac also have pumpkin carving
2014-09-11 06:35:11 PM aferguson I like the Halloween carnival idea!
2014-09-11 06:35:16 PM lizmacinnes I love painting pumpkins with the residents. Its so much fun to see what they end up looking like.
2014-09-11 06:35:18 PM anthonyalviar I like that idea Jackie!
2014-09-11 06:35:24 PM anthonyalviar thanks
2014-09-11 06:35:51 PM aferguson I did something similar to that at the day center when I worked there, and had kids be handed out prizes from the adult day participants after playing each game station with them
2014-09-11 06:35:52 PM onelliaad carnival good title
2014-09-11 06:35:55 PM jackie3 thanks..one of my girls came up with the idea then we all starting adding things to it
2014-09-11 06:35:56 PM wward We're having a local elementary school's 4th grade class come and read halloween stories with the residents, then parade through the halls with their costumes on and the residents will give them candy
2014-09-11 06:35:57 PM danac we take a trip to a farm out here and the residents get to pick out their own pumpins
2014-09-11 06:36:25 PM kathyhughes What kind of Halloween Games?
2014-09-11 06:36:29 PM onelliaad that's nice
2014-09-11 06:36:38 PM carolynlnig In the day center we seldom have long movies we do documentary items about autumn colors and aread across the country, since in Phoenix we do not have the 4 seasons. Our leaves fall in December when everyone is involved in Christmas celebrations
2014-09-11 06:36:56 PM aferguson OH, I would love to take the residents to a farm----not really one locally other than a ranch-not really wheelchair friendly. HOw do you do it?
2014-09-11 06:36:57 PM danac not everyone gets to go though
2014-09-11 06:37:17 PM lisaturske WE did carnival type games and gave out Halloween/fall themed prizes
2014-09-11 06:37:31 PM aferguson I already have that problem in general with any outing--what's new:)
2014-09-11 06:37:34 PM carolynlnig We are planning an October trip to a farm & pumpkin patch They ahve a corn maze, but the ground is too dangerous for most of our participants
2014-09-11 06:37:36 PM lizmacinnes We go on bus trips but unfortunately the residents can't get off. They love the trips anyway.
2014-09-11 06:37:49 PM kathyhughes History channel used to have great documentaries about the holidays
2014-09-11 06:37:56 PM onelliaad I can not go to an outings
2014-09-11 06:38:13 PM danac wee live in the mountains so its not that hard. We just take the van and go on a trip
2014-09-11 06:38:19 PM aferguson I like that idea about bus trips--right now we use local cab van service, we don't have a resident van, but at my old job we did, it was great!
2014-09-11 06:38:20 PM kathyhughes you can make your own maze.....on the floor with masking tape
2014-09-11 06:38:27 PM dthompson In October we are going to the Botanical Gardents
2014-09-11 06:38:34 PM jackie3 cool
2014-09-11 06:38:38 PM lizmacinnes nice!
2014-09-11 06:38:44 PM carolynlnig Thanks, Kathy a maze on the floor sounds fun

2014-09-11 06:39:11 PM aferguson I was told that Dietary combined with activities and did a corn husking experience that was well received last year, think we will do it again this autumn

2014-09-11 06:39:13 PM kathyhughes or to live dangerously you can make one with hay bales in the parking lot!

2014-09-11 06:41:03 PM kathyhughes rice harvest?
2014-09-11 06:41:17 PM lizmacinnes what's that?
2014-09-11 06:41:19 PM carolynlnig Is rice harvest a fall harvest
2014-09-11 06:41:31 PM danac what is that
2014-09-11 06:41:34 PM dthompson We have a big December fundraiser - we are going to buy scrubs and tye-dye them and sell to staff.
2014-09-11 06:41:39 PM aferguson It must be a southern thing! Katy Texas has a rice harvest festival if I remember correctly from when I lived in Texas right?
2014-09-11 06:41:49 PM onelliaad for how much?
2014-09-11 06:41:56 PM kathyhughes oh......was wondering.....
2014-09-11 06:42:00 PM anthonyalviar Here in KATY TX it's an annual celebration where the community gathers and have a parade with rice harvest theme
2014-09-11 06:42:20 PM carolynlnig Do they grow and harvest rice in t
2014-09-11 06:42:21 PM lisaturske I like the tie dye idea.
2014-09-11 06:42:22 PM kathyhughes still getting used to the Texas and AZ weather and traditions
2014-09-11 06:42:23 PM carolynlnig Texas?
2014-09-11 06:42:28 PM fkirchgater wow
2014-09-11 06:42:35 PM anthonyalviar yes mam TX
2014-09-11 06:42:39 PM kathyhughes Sorry
2014-09-11 06:42:50 PM fkirchgater i am in sweetwater tx and never heard of it, here we celebrate rattle snakes lol
2014-09-11 06:42:55 PM onelliaad is far way
2014-09-11 06:43:06 PM anthonyalviar It's still 100 degrees in here so hot!
2014-09-11 06:43:09 PM aferguson We just tried a new idea from an activity aide of making T-shirts that say "HUG" or whatever the resident wants, and they paint them with puffy paint and the letters are out of fabric---the residents really responded to it!
2014-09-11 06:43:33 PM kathyhughes See....and I am sure that y'all are jealous of the lovely early snowstorms....here in NY
2014-09-11 06:43:34 PM lizmacinnes Thats a great idea. Were the tshirts expsensive?
2014-09-11 06:43:35 PM carolynlnig T-shirts sound like fun
2014-09-11 06:43:35 PM dthompson sounds good
2014-09-11 06:44:00 PM dthompson Love the heat over the cold!
2014-09-11 06:44:04 PM carolynlnig Those of us in 100 degree weather who come from places with snow, are not jealous
2014-09-11 06:44:12 PM kathyhughes LOl
2014-09-11 06:44:19 PM aferguson OUr idea was so that staff and residents make them and encourage touch-T-shirts have been donated, but we may need to purchase some
2014-09-11 06:44:25 PM kathyhughes We have to dress in layers for Halloween!
2014-09-11 06:44:43 PM anthonyalviar I've leaved in NY for 4 years and i hate shoveling the snow at 3am in the morning!
2014-09-11 06:44:59 PM dthompson We will finally be able to be outside on Halloween because it won't be 100 degress anymore
2014-09-11 06:45:00 PM lizmacinnes We don't get a lot of donations but I bet I could find something on the internet to buy them in buld.
2014-09-11 06:45:12 PM aferguson We have some beautiful fall weather here in Alaska, one of the best times of year here, colors, sunshine, clear, less rain
2014-09-11 06:45:44 PM kathyhughes I know Andrea....jealous for living there have always wanted to go there
2014-09-11 06:45:57 PM anthonyalviar Alaska! I've always want to go to alaska and get me some of those big salmons!
2014-09-11 06:46:07 PM onelliaad wow the weather is really hot in another states. here is 90
2014-09-11 06:46:08 PM fkirchgater would like to visit, but not live
2014-09-11 06:46:11 PM dthompson Me too - I want to go from April until October
2014-09-11 06:46:19 PM kathyhughes I would bet that if you asked around for t-shirts you could get a donation or two
2014-09-11 06:46:31 PM lizmacinnes left the chat room
2014-09-11 06:46:57 PM kathyhughes all you have to do?????? is.........
2014-09-11 06:46:58 PM anthonyalviar Now that we set up family council. they are giving me donations.
2014-09-11 06:47:02 PM lizmacinnes enter the chat room
2014-09-11 06:47:06 PM onelliaad antony you must take a cruise to alaska
2014-09-11 06:47:12 PM anthonyalviar ask
2014-09-11 06:47:16 PM kathyhughes right
2014-09-11 06:47:17 PM lizmacinnes I keep getting bounced off the chat
2014-09-11 06:47:25 PM kathyhughes it happens
2014-09-11 06:47:29 PM kathyhughes even to me
2014-09-11 06:47:29 PM dthompson I want to run the dog sled too!
2014-09-11 06:47:56 PM aferguson Yeah, I think our best bet may be this local thrift store, they came in recently expalining they can't even put new donations on shelf, things sell too slowly, and if we ever needed something, to just ask
2014-09-11 06:47:58 PM carolynlnig Sounds fun but oh so cold
2014-09-11 06:48:01 PM anthonyalviar I want to but the money is low right now.lol
2014-09-11 06:48:18 PM danac left the chat room
2014-09-11 06:48:18 PM kathyhughes I would bet that those in TX and AZ could Skype with the folks in AK and share stories

2014-09-11 06:49:18 PM aferguson Fundraising is another thing apparently not often done here---I didn't get a clear reason why---but we have two garage sales a year and that is pretty much it for fundraising
2014-09-11 06:49:19 PM fkirchgater went to oldfashionedcandy.com and orderered a catalog for candles, we earn 50% and costs me nothing. gave to chruches and staff and are making great profit
2014-09-11 06:49:29 PM carolynlnig Our participantsare aking note cards that we will bundle up (with envelopes) in to set of 8 or 10 and tie with ribbon, to sell at our company's fall festival
