2015-09-01 06:19:40 PM janfred73 We have a resident that won't socialize at all with residents, but she will talk to the staff, so I try to make a point to visit everyday
2015-09-01 06:19:40 PM janiceb I started do lunch and a movie, once a month, they really liked The Long Riders
2015-09-01 06:19:46 PM lindac I do read to them, the bible mostly
2015-09-01 06:19:58 PM kimberly1 reading group or bookmobile
2015-09-01 06:19:58 PM aliciag we tried pokeno but the cards are small and they have a hard time seeing them
2015-09-01 06:20:04 PM ryanklemmer Lol, to keep the social ones satisfied.
2015-09-01 06:20:07 PM bradc i would love to hear about what the resident council meetings are like at your facility. yesterday a social worker told us that staff should not be there and it shouldnt simply be a bitch session for the residents (her words) that it shoule be about planning their own activities
2015-09-01 06:20:08 PM janiceb If I could just remember to take them back to red box
2015-09-01 06:20:12 PM amyc assisted living is a lot different from nursing homes
2015-09-01 06:20:13 PM lindab We have the Ipod program going also - Music and Memory (actually we are still in the process of setting it up and down loading all the music)
2015-09-01 06:20:19 PM bradc she kept telling me to read the regs
2015-09-01 06:20:35 PM kathyhughes Apparently she didn't read the regs
2015-09-01 06:20:37 PM aliciag resident council is for the residents unless they invite staff in
2015-09-01 06:20:39 PM lindac You can be present as long as they allow you to be their
2015-09-01 06:20:40 PM primus3 lol
2015-09-01 06:20:53 PM jennide221 brad, hearing the residents concerns and feedback is a very important part of resident council
2015-09-01 06:20:58 PM aliciag i attend and do their minutes
2015-09-01 06:21:02 PM oliviad enter the chat room
2015-09-01 06:21:03 PM primus3 the residents are allowed to gripe if they see fit. just can't make it the entire meeting
2015-09-01 06:21:05 PM jennide221 i run the meeting
2015-09-01 06:21:09 PM janfred73 Our resident council meetings, I am the facillitator, and the only staff present unless they request to meet with other staff
2015-09-01 06:21:13 PM bradc all the regs I have read state that the residents can choose to invite whom ever and discuss whatever
2015-09-01 06:21:18 PM sarahmarie7 our residents want my supervisor there
2015-09-01 06:21:21 PM kathyhughes The residents are in charge and the staff person is a liasion between them and the staff
2015-09-01 06:21:26 PM aliciag they do complain but they also vote on their employees of the month and volunteer of the month
2015-09-01 06:21:29 PM ptonyathomas Resident council at our facility is closed. Only residents and the faciltitator attend, unless invited by the president. They plan a meal of the month, 2 outings and Take Out thursday for the month at these meetings.
2015-09-01 06:21:30 PM jennide221 we have two staff present just for accoutability purposes
2015-09-01 06:21:34 PM sherieeudy i am wanting to do an electronics drive for people to donate DVD players and radios
2015-09-01 06:21:51 PM lindab I run our meetings....
2015-09-01 06:21:51 PM kathyhughes then you should Sheri
2015-09-01 06:21:56 PM janiceb Our residents want me, the Director and the Chef there. They want to get us all at once
2015-09-01 06:22:05 PM sherieeudy alrighty then!!
2015-09-01 06:22:13 PM primus3 sounds like a good idea
2015-09-01 06:22:14 PM janfred73 I do the minutes and record the problems and make sure the problems get to the correct dept head, and they have to give me a plan of correction that I have signed by the Council President
2015-09-01 06:22:16 PM bradc our residents voted and want a leader from each dept there
2015-09-01 06:22:17 PM acollis03 Great idea
2015-09-01 06:22:24 PM amyc our residents admin and activities director attended our last one

2015-09-01 06:22:36 PM lindac I wish our departments made time for them to be present.
2015-09-01 06:22:40 PM ryanklemmer Yeah, ours is unhealthy. It's basically a time for the residents to let out their anger towards the directors.
2015-09-01 06:22:42 PM kathyhughes it is their meeting
2015-09-01 06:22:48 PM kimberly1 yes
2015-09-01 06:22:48 PM daniwilcox our activity director is the only staff present
2015-09-01 06:22:51 PM tiffany1 acollis03 I have a wish list that I give the family members for stuff that I need and they donate them to me.
2015-09-01 06:22:56 PM primus3 wow they usually just invite the admin after the AD
2015-09-01 06:22:59 PM kathyhughes and sounds like the Social Worker is negative nancy
2015-09-01 06:23:08 PM janiceb Lucky for me, it's usually the Chef they're after
