2015-11-12 07:20:14 PM kimberly1 i WENT TO A TOAST MASTERS MEETING TONIGHT.
2015-11-12 07:20:26 PM barbb hippa question-church volunteers asked for a list of catholic residents (list had 1st & last name & room #) is that ok to give them?
2015-11-12 07:20:36 PM luispaschoa What is your take on Critical Thinking?
2015-11-12 07:20:53 PM tinab did you enjoy toastmasters?
2015-11-12 07:21:17 PM kathyhughes That is fine Barb...you did not share medical info
2015-11-12 07:21:22 PM kimberly1 YES IT WAS VERY HELPFUL.
2015-11-12 07:21:36 PM kathyhughes What do you think about Critical Thinking Luis??
2015-11-12 07:21:43 PM barbb I went to a Toastmasters meeting last night, it was ok. I speak 3 days a week so public speaking is easy for me. I liked the meeting more for the networking aspect.
2015-11-12 07:21:44 PM cnorstedt State asked me how many 1:1's a resident was scheduled to get a week.
2015-11-12 07:22:01 PM katieok11 i thought Toastmasters was so interesting
2015-11-12 07:22:02 PM barbb ok thank you kathy
2015-11-12 07:22:02 PM tinab I am critical of thinking too much........
2015-11-12 07:22:11 PM kathyhughes LOL
2015-11-12 07:22:12 PM cgbrown1977 Kathy, I have seen a MC calender through Azura" and they didn't list the times for activities, they were basically listed as the morning, afternoon, evening activities. I am having trouble keeping activities exactly to the times and wonder is that ok to do your calender like that?
2015-11-12 07:22:22 PM luispaschoa It stress things in a different angle, perception, values, etc
2015-11-12 07:22:28 PM sandyd I liked the toast master meeting also!
2015-11-12 07:22:29 PM katieok11 it's fascinating that the "ah" counter can count so many "ums" "likes" etc
2015-11-12 07:22:51 PM kathyhughes Well Christine.....I am not too sure about that
2015-11-12 07:23:01 PM kimberly1 YES
2015-11-12 07:23:03 PM katieok11 I liked the improv "dinner questions" at the end
2015-11-12 07:23:31 PM kathyhughes think about the surveyor showing up at the posted time and being told it's more like 3ish
2015-11-12 07:23:41 PM krisy1 sometimes you don't even realize your saying them :)
2015-11-12 07:23:47 PM kathyhughes so I am not convinced that would work
2015-11-12 07:23:52 PM luispaschoa Don't think Tina, just act and make changes (H)
2015-11-12 07:23:57 PM cgbrown1977 Thats what I was thinking
2015-11-12 07:24:03 PM tinab I got tagged for not saying how long the groups are...not what time htey start
2015-11-12 07:24:20 PM tinab Thanks Luis...I will try that....
2015-11-12 07:24:22 PM kathyhughes and remember.....most Seniors are on time...even if it is a Memory Care
2015-11-12 07:24:25 PM barbb states always been a stictler for time with us-they've checked the calendar & then checked to see that what's on the calendar is what's going on
2015-11-12 07:24:54 PM kathyhughes How many 1-1's do you have Carmen
2015-11-12 07:25:14 PM cgbrown1977 But I totally think that I am thinking way too much about filling this calendar with activities for groups....I am worn out at the end of the day and not enjoying it like I did in assisted living/
2015-11-12 07:25:21 PM kathyhughes Christina....I would have asked to see the regulation for that one
2015-11-12 07:25:47 PM kathyhughes but why have a million activities in a day?
2015-11-12 07:26:04 PM cynthia23 yes most of them are really on time
2015-11-12 07:26:26 PM cgbrown1977 Because I am told we have to have activities offered all day long.
2015-11-12 07:26:33 PM sylvia14 Can you put on your calendar lets say: 2:00 Residents Choice. as an activity would I get in trouble
2015-11-12 07:26:38 PM kathyhughes But they never say how many
2015-11-12 07:26:45 PM adamreese we have 2 longer actibities about an hr a 3 short like 15 minuts in a day
2015-11-12 07:26:53 PM cnorstedt We have about 8 residents that benefit from 1:1's in our facility.
2015-11-12 07:26:55 PM katieok11 cgbrown even during mealtimes?
2015-11-12 07:26:57 PM krisy1 Is there a specific time that they are supposed to last
2015-11-12 07:27:07 PM tinab I put in a block now theat says the duration of each catagory of activities... physical 30-45 minutes etc
2015-11-12 07:27:16 PM cynthia23 in my facility i only have 3-4 activities in a day
2015-11-12 07:27:17 PM kathyhughes NO there is no specific time
2015-11-12 07:27:23 PM cgbrown1977 I am training my assistant to do the AL activities and I feel like she may not work out
2015-11-12 07:27:24 PM sylvia14 at my facility I was told at least 5 activities and an afternoon one
2015-11-12 07:27:32 PM cynthia23 wow
2015-11-12 07:27:46 PM cynthia23 too much at sylvia
2015-11-12 07:27:56 PM cynthia23 do you have helper
2015-11-12 07:27:57 PM kathyhughes And that is why there is a probation period Chris
2015-11-12 07:28:12 PM katieok11 i think i want to switch to either a smaller nursing home or an assisted living after i gain more experience as a asst direcor
2015-11-12 07:28:18 PM kathyhughes and who told you that Sylvia
2015-11-12 07:28:29 PM katieok11 i feel like you can do so many more things withb a smaller population
2015-11-12 07:28:34 PM sylvia14 Nope no help Cynthia is pretty overwhelming
2015-11-12 07:28:55 PM sylvia14 Kathy my menthor and the regional person
2015-11-12 07:28:57 PM luispaschoa We have to have a break from activities some time
2015-11-12 07:29:07 PM tinab I think resident choiice is a good idea...
2015-11-12 07:29:11 PM kathyhughes You can have planned activities but you do not have to have that many
2015-11-12 07:29:23 PM luispaschoa I agree
2015-11-12 07:29:42 PM luispaschoa Try to delegate activities to volunteers
2015-11-12 07:30:00 PM elsa well that can be overwhelming i have at least 9 activities a day but i have help if i dont have help i limit it to 6
2015-11-12 07:30:01 PM tinab In my state AL has to have 16 hours per week not less than one hour a day on the weekends..
2015-11-12 07:30:08 PM kimberly1 iN ADH WE HAVE ALTERNITE ACTIVITITY FOR EVERY ACTIVITY
2015-11-12 07:30:09 PM luispaschoa And then you can have a break or use the time for room visits
2015-11-12 07:30:15 PM sylvia14 I wish my menthor was here and the regional person too!!!
2015-11-12 07:30:19 PM kathyhughes and there can be 2 activities at a time in different places
2015-11-12 07:30:21 PM cnorstedt I have scheduled activities from 9am to 8pm 7 days a week.
2015-11-12 07:30:22 PM tinab We do more to keep behaviors at bay.
2015-11-12 07:30:28 PM luispaschoa Yep
2015-11-12 07:30:48 PM luispaschoa Some residents who don't show up can be benefited by that
2015-11-12 07:30:51 PM cgbrown1977 My Admin does not want them watching T,V she just learned at a conference that they only comprehend about 10 minutes of what they watch and they sometimes act oujt because there may have been some violence or an argument in the program and they don't comprehend that the crime or whatever was solved
2015-11-12 07:30:58 PM cynthia23 so how do you have time to document on them
2015-11-12 07:31:21 PM luispaschoa I agree with you cg
2015-11-12 07:31:26 PM tinab tha is what the food network is for cg!
2015-11-12 07:31:34 PM adamreese we wtch a lot of tv and movies
2015-11-12 07:31:34 PM kathyhughes Oh Lord the ADM's should not go to conferences
2015-11-12 07:31:36 PM kathyhughes LIL
2015-11-12 07:31:39 PM kathyhughes LOL
2015-11-12 07:31:43 PM luispaschoa Hahaha
2015-11-12 07:31:44 PM krisy1 LOL
2015-11-12 07:31:45 PM tinab exctly!!
2015-11-12 07:31:53 PM barbb I'm always behind on documentation because our calendar is so full, residents are busy but I'm stressed & always playing catch up w/ PCC
2015-11-12 07:31:55 PM sylvia14 no help, 5 activities a day plus assessments, care conferences, meetings, documentation and honestly I get stressed and frustrated at times :o~(
2015-11-12 07:31:55 PM tinab no conferences for ADM
2015-11-12 07:31:56 PM kathyhughes Some "expert"
2015-11-12 07:31:58 PM cynthia23 @CG my Adm said the same thing this morning
2015-11-12 07:32:02 PM elsa we do it after the activity is done or one of us does it at the end of theday. documenting is easy
2015-11-12 07:32:09 PM katieok11 i like the alternative idea kimberly
2015-11-12 07:32:14 PM luispaschoa Sorry Sylvia
2015-11-12 07:32:26 PM cgbrown1977 She is absolutely against them spending time just sitting in front of the boob tube and so I get frustrated trying to constantly drag them to activities to occupy them
2015-11-12 07:32:32 PM cynthia23 i almost cried this morning
2015-11-12 07:32:43 PM cynthia23 is over whelming sometimes
2015-11-12 07:32:45 PM kathyhughes So then how about a generic activity in the AM and another in the PM
2015-11-12 07:32:47 PM krisy1 Why?
2015-11-12 07:32:57 PM katieok11 unless they really like old movies or something, we feel having the tv on is pointless and like "baby sitting"
2015-11-12 07:32:59 PM barbb I'm sorry Cynthia :-(
2015-11-12 07:33:01 PM luispaschoa Invite your manager to one of your activities then
2015-11-12 07:33:06 PM sylvia14 I feel you barb and cg
2015-11-12 07:33:07 PM katieok11 the residents can always go in their room to watch tv
2015-11-12 07:33:20 PM tinab if I lived in that place...the TV would be my pwerson centered choice....unless there was an art group!
2015-11-12 07:33:28 PM luispaschoa And show the way you work
2015-11-12 07:33:28 PM sylvia14 I did cry today Cynthia

2015-11-12 07:33:37 PM kathyhughes Yes but if they are in their room then they are not "engaged"
2015-11-12 07:33:40 PM luispaschoa And the invite her again and again
2015-11-12 07:33:46 PM cynthia23 so sorry sylvia
2015-11-12 07:33:54 PM katieok11 but if they choose to watch tv thats their personal right
2015-11-12 07:33:56 PM elsa but some like to be in there room they dont like company
2015-11-12 07:33:59 PM barbb so sorry sylvia :-(

2015-11-12 07:34:27 PM sylvia14 thank you Cynthia and Luis, sometimes things dont go the way you planned them
2015-11-12 07:34:28 PM tinab Amen Kathy!
2015-11-12 07:34:35 PM kathyhughes the other thing is to make sure that is on their assessment and care plan
2015-11-12 07:34:36 PM luispaschoa Do you have an office at the AR
2015-11-12 07:34:39 PM cgbrown1977 Kathy you will always be drunk...you won't even know if it is on or not!
2015-11-12 07:34:39 PM cynthia23 but they want you to always engage them
2015-11-12 07:34:41 PM katieok11 whatever their "quality of life" is

2015-11-12 07:40:47 PM tammyr Not really do tell cynthia
2015-11-12 07:40:51 PM kathyhughes You can print off the coloring by reducing it to 1/4 and then use them on cards
2015-11-12 07:40:54 PM cynthia23 i have a bake sale on 24th
2015-11-12 07:41:02 PM sylvia14 I would love to ask you, how do any of you proceed when one of your most participative residents lost someone they havent seen in a while, say husband or wife? I dont want to be to much or to little. I dont want to overwhelm her by trying to have her with me but also like I dont care by letting it go. You know what I mean?
2015-11-12 07:41:03 PM adamreese we do lots of coloring in my low functioning group
2015-11-12 07:41:16 PM cgbrown1977 Oh I love that Kathy!
