2014-10-02 06:50:55 PM terridenisetyler good idea
2014-10-02 06:51:08 PM kathyhughes I sold it as a marketing tool
2014-10-02 06:51:10 PM debbie134 That's a good idea. After construction ends ( if ever) I will try this.
2014-10-02 06:51:14 PM kathyhughes the ADM fell for it
2014-10-02 06:51:19 PM terridenisetyler lol
2014-10-02 06:51:22 PM kathyhughes so it worked
2014-10-02 06:51:43 PM kathyhughes people come for free food!
2014-10-02 06:51:45 PM debbie134 I thought it would work as a marketing tool, too.
2014-10-02 06:51:58 PM lisaturske I don't know that my admin would go for it.
2014-10-02 06:52:15 PM debbie134 The town politics are very closely followed. I am sure we would get a good turnout.
2014-10-02 06:52:20 PM kathyhughes Dietary would make a buffet to "sell" their food...to the public and Social Services would be there to answer questions
2014-10-02 06:52:37 PM wward You are right...if you feed them, they will come!
2014-10-02 06:52:44 PM kathyhughes You have to think of the approach each ADM is different
2014-10-02 06:52:53 PM kathyhughes But they still want to fill the beds
2014-10-02 06:53:01 PM terridenisetyler true
2014-10-02 06:53:41 PM debbie134 We will be wanting to show off the new building so I think our director will be all for it.
2014-10-02 06:53:50 PM kathyhughes And it didn't cost that much and we would get at least 1 or 2 people that were interested and the residents enjoyed the contacts
2014-10-02 06:54:23 PM kathyhughes When will the construction be done>
2014-10-02 06:54:36 PM kathyhughes ?
2014-10-02 06:55:04 PM lisaturske I agree. And we are runninginto census issues. I am not well-versed in this but it seems there are nw "protocols" the hospitals are following when suggesting SNFs for their discharges and these protocols aren't in our favor. :(
2014-10-02 06:55:09 PM debbie134 If and this is a big if, the winter is not too bad, by the end of the summer of 2015. I think this will be our worst winter in years
2014-10-02 06:55:35 PM kathyhughes I have witnessed that exact thing Lisa
2014-10-02 06:55:53 PM kathyhughes So it sounds like carnival time for you Deb
2014-10-02 06:56:14 PM debbie134 It does doesn't it
2014-10-02 06:56:15 PM lisaturske And navihealth isn't our friend either.
2014-10-02 06:56:18 PM kathyhughes And so its time to get the residents involved
2014-10-02 06:56:42 PM terridenisetyler thanks for all the ideas tonight! ya'll have a great weekend!
2014-10-02 06:56:46 PM debbie134 Which can get us thru the last week of the year, because they will be focused on a project.
2014-10-02 06:56:56 PM kathyhughes Have them make cards to send to the patients during the holidays
2014-10-02 06:57:03 PM terridenisetyler left the chat room
2014-10-02 06:57:14 PM lisaturske Good idea.
2014-10-02 06:57:14 PM kathyhughes esp the peds unit
2014-10-02 06:57:40 PM kathyhughes and have the Social Worker....get room #'s at the hospitals
2014-10-02 06:58:03 PM kathyhughes and have residents make Thank-you cards for the nursing staff
2014-10-02 06:58:15 PM kathyhughes get their names
2014-10-02 06:58:18 PM debbie134 Great ideas, Kathy
2014-10-02 06:58:25 PM lisaturske More good ideas. Thank you!
2014-10-02 06:58:32 PM kathyhughes the Admission person can get them
2014-10-02 06:58:44 PM kathyhughes also send snacks
2014-10-02 06:58:47 PM kathyhughes for the staff
2014-10-02 06:59:04 PM kathyhughes and when one of your residents go in....send flowers
2014-10-02 06:59:19 PM kathyhughes seriously that worked for us
2014-10-02 06:59:27 PM lisaturske Food and personal touches. :)
2014-10-02 06:59:32 PM kathyhughes right
2014-10-02 06:59:38 PM kathyhughes just like the facility
2014-10-02 06:59:53 PM lisaturske I have a question off this topic...
2014-10-02 07:00:01 PM kathyhughes make up some little cheapo gifts to spread around
2014-10-02 07:00:07 PM kathyhughes Sure go ahead
2014-10-02 07:00:48 PM lisaturske I haven't looked back through my materials yet, but there is a push to get individuals to activities that they may not be appropriate for, jut to get them out of the hallways and away from teh nursing station....
2014-10-02 07:01:10 PM kate9 Just say no
2014-10-02 07:01:16 PM kathyhughes I have had that challenge
2014-10-02 07:01:31 PM kate9 But seriously, do an info session with staff
2014-10-02 07:01:33 PM lisaturske Can we get taggedby having a roomful of residents that aren't interested or engaged in what we have planned.
2014-10-02 07:01:35 PM kathyhughes First you have to share your regulations with the staff
2014-10-02 07:01:52 PM kathyhughes and tell them that
2014-10-02 07:02:05 PM debbie134 Remind the CNA's that residents have the right to refuse to go to a certain activity.
2014-10-02 07:02:21 PM kathyhughes And then have the staff (other than activities) come up with some ideas for those residents
2014-10-02 07:02:32 PM kathyhughes share the assessments with the staff
2014-10-02 07:02:54 PM kathyhughes and have them remember that they are responsible as well according to FTAg248
2014-10-02 07:03:05 PM kathyhughes and they can get a deficiency
2014-10-02 07:03:30 PM debbie134 Got to take the puppy out again. Good night all. Talk to you all next week.
2014-10-02 07:03:41 PM kathyhughes why are they in the hallways anyway???
2014-10-02 07:03:44 PM debbie134 left the chat room
2014-10-02 07:03:44 PM kathyhughes ok
2014-10-02 07:04:00 PM lisaturske I actually started a roving activity cart to reach the indiviuals that they are targeting. We've been engaging these people at least 3 times a week and then taking care of our highly functioning in group activities. I think it has been successful. Admin doesn't agree.
2014-10-02 07:04:02 PM kate9 My residents are in the hallways because our building is incredibly crowded
2014-10-02 07:04:37 PM lisaturske They are fall risks, mostly and people who are low functioning. Really not intersted or capable of group activities.
2014-10-02 07:05:05 PM kathyhughes So you have to look at their assessments to see what they are interested in
2014-10-02 07:05:29 PM kathyhughes and discuss the individuals at care planning
2014-10-02 07:05:41 PM kate9 Good night all!
2014-10-02 07:05:48 PM kate9 left the chat room
2014-10-02 07:05:50 PM kathyhughes and write the care plan so that staff knows which activities they are interested in
2014-10-02 07:05:50 PM lisaturske We've done that and have met their needs individually.
2014-10-02 07:06:11 PM kathyhughes then its a matter of teaching everyone that they are responsible as well
2014-10-02 07:06:53 PM kathyhughes So you have to even teach the Dept Heads
2014-10-02 07:07:12 PM wward Got to go...thanks for the great ideas!
2014-10-02 07:07:20 PM wward left the chat room
2014-10-02 07:07:23 PM kathyhughes have a good week
2014-10-02 07:07:25 PM lisaturske I'll need to get info together and approach admin and mgrs. This is a cylical arguement we have every 4-6 months. So tiring.
2014-10-02 07:07:49 PM kathyhughes I would guess so....but the other answer is to smile and say good idea
2014-10-02 07:07:56 PM kathyhughes and then do what you do
2014-10-02 07:08:10 PM kathyhughes and perhaps take the tag
2014-10-02 07:08:31 PM lisaturske LOL! I'll let you know how it goes.
2014-10-02 07:08:38 PM kathyhughes Have a good week
2014-10-02 07:08:44 PM lisaturske Thanks for your help. Have a great week.
