2014-09-30 06:06:33 PM jyoung Q? i been looking over the assignment for this week ,when we upload the assessment are we redoing it or are we answering the question you are asking along with it.
2014-09-30 06:06:33 PM nacresia35 do yall do a ceremony for the residents who pass
2014-09-30 06:06:38 PM kathyhughes Hello Ashley
2014-09-30 06:06:45 PM ashleys hello
2014-09-30 06:06:46 PM dmarshall81 holy cow jennifer, that rots
2014-09-30 06:07:10 PM jennifer2485 If it was up to me we would every 3 months,but administration has the last say
2014-09-30 06:07:18 PM jean1 Sarah, are you on activity connection? That might help with revamping ideas, calendar formats, etc.
2014-09-30 06:07:43 PM hdowns we dont
2014-09-30 06:07:45 PM kathyhughes You are to review your assessment and see if it meets the specific needs and interests of the residents. Then you are to submit the assessment form
2014-09-30 06:07:48 PM ashleys what are discussing
2014-09-30 06:07:51 PM sarahe Jean1: I've never heard of that. I'll look it over asap.
2014-09-30 06:07:54 PM ashleys we
2014-09-30 06:07:56 PM kathyhughes It does not have to be filled in
2014-09-30 06:08:03 PM jean1 Nacresia, we do a ceremony in May for all who passed throughout the year.
2014-09-30 06:08:11 PM tomilee submit the one we use at work
2014-09-30 06:08:17 PM nacresia35 tell me more
2014-09-30 06:08:19 PM kathyhughes right
2014-09-30 06:08:29 PM jennide221 we do a memorial service every three months or so to remember residents who passed on...in fact we had one today
2014-09-30 06:08:41 PM kathyhughes Memorial Services
2014-09-30 06:08:44 PM nacresia35 how does it go
2014-09-30 06:08:44 PM hdowns that is a sweet idea
2014-09-30 06:08:50 PM jennifer2485 thats a good idea once a year ceemony
2014-09-30 06:08:52 PM kathyhughes We did one a quarter
2014-09-30 06:09:06 PM tomilee and write what we would do different if we could cause I cant change my form
2014-09-30 06:09:08 PM kathyhughes we would read their obit and have the residents talk about them
2014-09-30 06:09:12 PM nacresia35 ok anyone have any suggestion
2014-09-30 06:09:19 PM kathyhughes Yes Tomilee
2014-09-30 06:09:20 PM dorene49 memorial services sound like a great idea
2014-09-30 06:09:23 PM denise6 Kathy, I wish I could sit down with a cup of coffee with you and pick your brain..lol!
2014-09-30 06:09:30 PM sarahe At my facility we put out a single red rose, along with a beautiful sign in memory of that resident
2014-09-30 06:09:36 PM kathyhughes You are welcome to come to Syracuse
2014-09-30 06:09:36 PM ashleys Oh ok...we usually do them every other month
2014-09-30 06:09:40 PM tomilee thanks kathy I have been wondering about that
2014-09-30 06:09:41 PM hdowns me too denise6
2014-09-30 06:09:42 PM carlasummar we only do moromial in nov.
2014-09-30 06:09:42 PM nijah that's what we need to do thank for the idea
2014-09-30 06:09:44 PM jennide221 we usually talk about them and share our favorite memories of them. we usually invite family to particpate, but we didn't this time....we also sing a few hymns
2014-09-30 06:09:44 PM jean1 Another thing that might help, Sarah, is to google, "Assisted living activity calendars," and then check out the images on the results. You can pick up a lot of good ideas that way.
2014-09-30 06:10:05 PM jklinski Hey if anyone needs a calendar template let me know the size calendar you use and I will make you an awesome one. I am a publisher god
2014-09-30 06:10:08 PM nacresia35 ok ill try
2014-09-30 06:10:08 PM kathyhughes We also have the minister or priest come for prayers
2014-09-30 06:10:21 PM jklinski <<<<Is Microsoft Office Certified
2014-09-30 06:10:40 PM denise6 Help jklinski!
2014-09-30 06:10:45 PM sarahe Jean1: You are a wealth of info. Thank you!
2014-09-30 06:11:01 PM nacresia35 looking for to doing week 10 it wants us to pick a disease
2014-09-30 06:11:09 PM jklinski lol. Denise. Do you print 8.5X14 or 11X17
2014-09-30 06:11:09 PM kathyhughes Then James....I think you should talk to Pennie in the office and see if they are interested in you doing something for them with the calendars
2014-09-30 06:11:16 PM dmarshall81 we do a memorial service on Sunday morning following the passing, I had to step in and do it for activities for this last one because i can do those things without crying
2014-09-30 06:11:16 PM jean1 You're welcome, Sarah. I had no experience in this field so had to learn fast. Seems like it works out that way for a lot of us!
2014-09-30 06:11:27 PM jklinski Pennie in the ADN office?
2014-09-30 06:11:28 PM hdowns i do 11x17
2014-09-30 06:11:31 PM tomilee sarah you might try a resident council meeting and use that to get ideas from your residnets and get to know them
2014-09-30 06:11:31 PM denise6 11x17
2014-09-30 06:11:31 PM jennifer2485 Last week was tough for me and the only reason its so hard is because i make it that way.. I overthink everything
2014-09-30 06:11:32 PM kathyhughes yes
2014-09-30 06:11:40 PM jklinski I do 11X17 as well.

2014-09-30 06:12:25 PM sarahe Good idea tomilee! I don't believe the facility I'm going to has one.
2014-09-30 06:12:36 PM kathyhughes We would place a guest book in the residen'ts room who passed and staff and residents would sign it and share stories
2014-09-30 06:12:46 PM kathyhughes we would then send it to the families
2014-09-30 06:12:47 PM dmarshall81 oh, i like that kathy
2014-09-30 06:12:53 PM hdowns awe great idea
2014-09-30 06:13:04 PM denise6 very good idea kathy
2014-09-30 06:13:05 PM carlasummar i like the guest bok thing
2014-09-30 06:13:05 PM jean1 Overthinking in this job can make a person go crazy quickly :) Ditto for perfectionism.
2014-09-30 06:13:08 PM jennifer2485 amy once i calmed down i was fine after harassing kathy over and over again
2014-09-30 06:13:16 PM dorene49 great idea kathy
2014-09-30 06:13:29 PM kathyhughes No Problem all
2014-09-30 06:13:32 PM denise6 Jean, you are so right!
2014-09-30 06:13:33 PM hdowns yes my brain goes numb often
2014-09-30 06:13:39 PM nijah i really like that idea Kathy
2014-09-30 06:13:39 PM nacresia35 i know im worsom
2014-09-30 06:13:43 PM jennide221 the guest book is a good idea
2014-09-30 06:13:47 PM amyr these ideas are so nice. my facility does nothing like that! we aren't supposed to tell the other residents due to hippa
2014-09-30 06:13:48 PM nacresia35 it is
2014-09-30 06:13:54 PM kathyhughes and you have to remember to keep things simple for the class and the holidays
2014-09-30 06:14:13 PM rosalliedelaluna enter the chat room
2014-09-30 06:14:18 PM kathyhughes Amy it sounds like your facility is HIPPA obsessed
2014-09-30 06:14:27 PM kathyhughes Hello Rosallie
2014-09-30 06:14:30 PM hdowns (y)

2014-09-30 06:14:44 PM jennide221 we aren't supposed to tell the residents either...but they ultimately find out
2014-09-30 06:14:54 PM nacresia35 ok i will be bringing my computer from home in october we will be learning how to use the computer
2014-09-30 06:15:04 PM carlasummar you can tell some things without it being hippa
2014-09-30 06:15:10 PM kathyhughes Seriously the residents are gone,,,,HIPPA isn't an issue
