2015-12-10 07:13:47 PM kimberly1 thanks for the idea Kathy
2015-12-10 07:13:57 PM cnorstedt I start dementia training in January
2015-12-10 07:14:05 PM tammyr 241130
2015-12-10 07:14:13 PM rose48mary i am sending my staff member in february
2015-12-10 07:14:24 PM rose48mary to dementia training
2015-12-10 07:14:48 PM 241130 How often do you all have your dementia training?
2015-12-10 07:14:54 PM kathyhughes There are many ways to teach people about activities, I had residents teach during my inservices
2015-12-10 07:15:03 PM cnorstedt I train all staff in our facility.
2015-12-10 07:15:33 PM sandyd I like that Kathy good idea for inservices
2015-12-10 07:15:34 PM kathyhughes And they enjoyed it
2015-12-10 07:15:49 PM rose48mary when it is available, we have watched teepa snow videos it is really good
2015-12-10 07:15:50 PM kathyhughes telling staff what activities they liked and why
2015-12-10 07:16:05 PM sherrij I have learned from this class to have residents teach classes. I have one starting to teach Spanish. I had a familiy member teach us about Jewish traditions. I have another resident doing a monthly travel class.
2015-12-10 07:16:09 PM cnorstedt I would like to feature activites for people with dementia now that I am also in Activities.
2015-12-10 07:16:10 PM susanb Heck I have trouble getting mine to talk in resident council
2015-12-10 07:16:20 PM rose48mary same here
2015-12-10 07:16:21 PM jamie I think nurse aides need to read activity interest sheets
2015-12-10 07:17:02 PM kathyhughes I think the nurses aides need to know where the interest sheets are and what they mean
2015-12-10 07:17:02 PM kandra1 left the chat room
2015-12-10 07:17:09 PM 241130 We require that information to be shared in my community which is nice
2015-12-10 07:17:11 PM kimberly1 agree
2015-12-10 07:17:11 PM kathyhughes sometimes we assume that they do
2015-12-10 07:17:13 PM rose48mary thats right
2015-12-10 07:17:14 PM susanb I agree
2015-12-10 07:17:23 PM 241130 Doesn't mean they always read it..
2015-12-10 07:17:26 PM kathyhughes and we made collages of resident interests
2015-12-10 07:17:30 PM kathyhughes nope
2015-12-10 07:17:43 PM sandyd That is for sure
2015-12-10 07:17:49 PM jamie I'm all about staff knowing these people
2015-12-10 07:18:02 PM rose48mary i agree
2015-12-10 07:18:07 PM kathyhughes we had pictures of what residents enjoyed...that visual was easier to refer to
2015-12-10 07:18:13 PM cnorstedt We have consistant assignment and ask staff to also contribute to interests for residents
2015-12-10 07:18:15 PM sherrij I am having the CNA's teach a class on making candy.
2015-12-10 07:18:23 PM kimberly1 oh yeah
2015-12-10 07:18:25 PM 241130 How do you all work with nursing to enforce this sort of thing? Sometimes its difficult to follow up with education for other staff when we have such limited time and it is difficult to get them together.
2015-12-10 07:19:10 PM cnorstedt I put things in their communication books.
2015-12-10 07:19:19 PM susanb Kathy I got a question how do you get nurses and aides to pay attention to the residents?
2015-12-10 07:19:24 PM kathyhughes I start by scheduling inservices with the Inservice person
2015-12-10 07:19:41 PM kathyhughes and then there are 10 minute inservices
2015-12-10 07:19:48 PM 241130 We have no inservice person unfortunately. :-/ but thats a good idea cnorstedt
2015-12-10 07:19:53 PM kathyhughes Pay attention how?
2015-12-10 07:20:00 PM kimberly1 like mine tomorrow
2015-12-10 07:20:02 PM kathyhughes and they got food and a certificate
2015-12-10 07:20:03 PM susanb I have been so frustrated at work I don't think the DON even cares
2015-12-10 07:20:16 PM kathyhughes OK......let's see
2015-12-10 07:20:45 PM kathyhughes First Nursing takes care of the medical needs of the residents
2015-12-10 07:20:46 PM susanb There was a resident laying on the floor at the nurses station today and outside of a managers office
2015-12-10 07:21:01 PM susanb Noone noticed till I yelled
2015-12-10 07:21:20 PM cnorstedt We have group huddles also and I do quick learning activities with staff then also.
2015-12-10 07:21:23 PM kathyhughes So what do we want them to do for activities?
2015-12-10 07:21:30 PM rose48mary u did good by staying with the resident
2015-12-10 07:22:00 PM 241130 More often than not I share that frustration Susan
2015-12-10 07:22:29 PM kathyhughes My question again.....So what do we want them to do for activities?
2015-12-10 07:22:37 PM susanb I know somedays I would like to walk out but it's people like us those residents need
2015-12-10 07:22:52 PM kathyhughes Lets start there
2015-12-10 07:22:59 PM kimberly1 one on one
2015-12-10 07:23:01 PM pec1963 enter the chat room
2015-12-10 07:23:22 PM kimberly1 sensory stimuli
2015-12-10 07:23:24 PM pec1963 hi sorry i could not get into the chat room
2015-12-10 07:23:27 PM kathyhughes one on one what?
2015-12-10 07:23:37 PM jamie I think it may help if they can read the assessment to see resident interests
2015-12-10 07:23:38 PM cnorstedt I would like nursing and activity staff to work together.
2015-12-10 07:23:38 PM rose48mary 1:1 music therapy
2015-12-10 07:23:39 PM kathyhughes Really that is your job
2015-12-10 07:23:42 PM kimberly1 activity
2015-12-10 07:23:47 PM 241130 be there to assist and intervene during behaviors so that our focus isnt taken off of most of the group. When a resident needs assistance- do it. Thats their job.
2015-12-10 07:24:00 PM kathyhughes and do they know how to do that?
2015-12-10 07:24:07 PM adamreese bring them to the activity area
2015-12-10 07:24:27 PM sherrij I take the behavior people to activities so the CNA's can get their work done.
2015-12-10 07:24:43 PM susanb This happened after activities was over and we were taking them to supper
2015-12-10 07:24:47 PM 241130 Sometimes my frustration comes in Kathy because I honestly feel as though they play stupid. I discuss something with my DON and she says, "did you educate them".. how many times do I have to tell a CNA that a resident who has had a BM needs to be changed..
2015-12-10 07:24:48 PM kathyhughes We assume that everyone knows how to do 1-1 actvities and we assume that they know
2015-12-10 07:25:01 PM kimberly1 never assume
2015-12-10 07:25:03 PM jamie those are some of the hardest things to do sometimes
2015-12-10 07:25:05 PM cnorstedt I agree with assisting to an activity and I also ask nursing staff to encourage activities.
2015-12-10 07:25:29 PM susanb Ya really241130
2015-12-10 07:25:29 PM kathyhughes and the DON is pointing something out to you
2015-12-10 07:25:40 PM tammyr i am blessed my nurses and cna all do activities everyday
2015-12-10 07:25:41 PM 241130 what do you mean?
2015-12-10 07:25:46 PM kathyhughes the BM issue should specifically be address
2015-12-10 07:26:09 PM kathyhughes She wants you to educate the staff as to why the residents need activities
2015-12-10 07:26:15 PM pec1963 Team playing is hard to accomplish
2015-12-10 07:26:20 PM kathyhughes and how it is important to the residents
2015-12-10 07:26:32 PM susanb Our cna's will go in and turn there lights out and walk away
2015-12-10 07:26:36 PM rose48mary we do all the activities, but our gentle care unit does activities too
2015-12-10 07:26:56 PM 241130 That makes sense- but our staff knows that. They even thank me and tell me how bored our residents would be without programming. The contradicting subject matter leaves ME feeling bonkers
2015-12-10 07:27:07 PM kathyhughes Well Susan.....have the residents complained?
2015-12-10 07:27:17 PM susanb It is important I like physical activities the best
2015-12-10 07:27:18 PM rose48mary we do need more activity staff but budget is issue
2015-12-10 07:27:24 PM rose48mary me too
2015-12-10 07:27:25 PM jamie our aides assist residents, but they are busy with nurse aide duties
2015-12-10 07:27:26 PM susanb Oh ya
2015-12-10 07:27:32 PM rose48mary i love balloon volley
2015-12-10 07:27:35 PM susanb even to the ADM
2015-12-10 07:27:41 PM sandyd volunteers are a big help!
2015-12-10 07:27:44 PM pec1963 Volunteers are good
2015-12-10 07:27:47 PM kathyhughes You need more staff...what have you done to prove that?
2015-12-10 07:27:48 PM jamie I do believe we should have one more activity aide
2015-12-10 07:28:05 PM susanb we asked to be trained to help them and they wont
2015-12-10 07:28:05 PM kimberly1 in ADH our health activity aides do the activities with the clients
2015-12-10 07:28:15 PM jamie the director knows we won't get one because of budget
2015-12-10 07:28:18 PM 241130 Who are you asking Kathy?
2015-12-10 07:28:20 PM kathyhughes And working all the overtime and at home does not help you get more staff
2015-12-10 07:28:21 PM rose48mary me too
2015-12-10 07:28:24 PM kathyhughes all of you
2015-12-10 07:28:33 PM 241130 Oh ok
2015-12-10 07:28:47 PM susanb Noone wants to work not enough money
2015-12-10 07:29:03 PM 241130 Their expectations versus the reality we are given makes no sense. They expect 7 days a week, evenings and dual programming plus outings and I have 1 full time assistant.
2015-12-10 07:29:06 PM kathyhughes How would the extra staff person help the facility>
2015-12-10 07:29:13 PM 241130 one part-time finally but she only have 12.5 hours.
2015-12-10 07:29:18 PM jamie I was told that the activity department does not make as much as nurse aides
2015-12-10 07:29:19 PM 241130 agreen Susan!
2015-12-10 07:29:34 PM 241130 agreed*
2015-12-10 07:29:38 PM jamie extra staff person would provide more activities
2015-12-10 07:29:43 PM pec1963 Put a proposal together showing the need
2015-12-10 07:29:56 PM susanb We need more cna's we have had 3 for 58 residents
2015-12-10 07:30:01 PM kathyhughes So activities staff would be cheaper
2015-12-10 07:30:15 PM 241130 The extra staff would sufficiently benefit the residents in providing more one to one programming. When we have limited staff memebers and a large group of residents- they suffer
2015-12-10 07:30:24 PM jamie everything comes down to money
2015-12-10 07:30:37 PM kathyhughes yes its a business
2015-12-10 07:30:39 PM 241130 when we are overwhelmed we arent able to provide quality programming and as far as safety goes- that is impacted as well.
2015-12-10 07:30:44 PM susanb what about the residents quality of life
2015-12-10 07:31:04 PM kathyhughes How does it impact safety?
2015-12-10 07:31:04 PM 241130 They have no quality of programming or life when we are running around like chickens with our heads cut off
2015-12-10 07:31:17 PM cnorstedt I got another person by offering an exercise program that would count as ROM minutes with helps on MDS and gets facility more money.
2015-12-10 07:31:18 PM susanb Thats correct
2015-12-10 07:31:45 PM jamie we are professionals; we have to maintain their quality of life
2015-12-10 07:31:47 PM 241130 Example- I was in programming doing a baking group entirely alone. I had one resident reaching in the stove- another standing up out of her wheel chair and another gentlemen walking away from his walker. Being one person- who do I go after first? 2 fall risks and one burn victim!
2015-12-10 07:32:16 PM susanb Exactly like I said there was one on the floor
2015-12-10 07:32:16 PM kathyhughes Right and did you document that?
2015-12-10 07:32:22 PM kathyhughes Did you tell someone
2015-12-10 07:32:25 PM 241130 I tell them constantly
2015-12-10 07:32:27 PM 241130 I did
2015-12-10 07:32:27 PM sherrij Baking group sounds too hard to do by yourself
2015-12-10 07:32:27 PM susanb Yes
2015-12-10 07:32:31 PM jamie definitely document
2015-12-10 07:32:44 PM 241130 I didn't know i'd be alone Sherri- I assumed they would come in as theyre supposed to
2015-12-10 07:32:49 PM pec1963 document everything
2015-12-10 07:32:51 PM susanb I wish I could have them all day in activities
2015-12-10 07:32:52 PM jamie I was taught that if it's not documented, it didn't happen
2015-12-10 07:33:02 PM rose48mary i do document everything
2015-12-10 07:33:02 PM kimberly1 that is why we have team building exercises
2015-12-10 07:33:04 PM susanb correct
2015-12-10 07:33:07 PM rose48mary small or large
2015-12-10 07:33:12 PM kathyhughes Be careful what you wish for
2015-12-10 07:33:12 PM sherrij Who was suppose to help you?
2015-12-10 07:33:17 PM susanb you have to be able to show it
2015-12-10 07:33:25 PM rose48mary that is right
2015-12-10 07:33:30 PM degestrom enter the chat room
2015-12-10 07:33:47 PM kathyhughes And perhaps you should address the safety issue and not have baking
2015-12-10 07:33:50 PM 241130 The CNA's. We require them to be there. BUT- that doesn't always make it happen. I make calls to their neighborhoods that go unanswered. All the while my phonecalls are taking away from the residents experience.
2015-12-10 07:34:29 PM sandyd left the chat room
2015-12-10 07:34:30 PM cnorstedt If you know someone is a fall risk and will attempt to stand up or walk away from walker maybe you need to give them a task or something to keep them busy while you reach in the stove.
2015-12-10 07:34:33 PM 241130 If I hadn't been baking it would have been someone else- I am just saying that is not the only time it has happened. If I have more than one wheel chair- thats a risk while being alone
2015-12-10 07:34:42 PM sherrij I don't have any CNA's help. I have 2 activity aides per activity.
2015-12-10 07:34:46 PM pec1963 on our calendar we state activities are subject to change
2015-12-10 07:34:48 PM jamie If you will have no help, and you are documenting, then when surveyors or administrative staff ask why there are not more activities or certain kinds, you can show them
2015-12-10 07:34:53 PM sandyd enter the chat room
2015-12-10 07:35:03 PM 241130 Thats a good point Jamie, Thank you
2015-12-10 07:35:14 PM rose48mary thats hard because most dementia residents attention span is very limited
2015-12-10 07:35:31 PM kathyhughes I know that you are all frustrated, but its now time to solve the problems....and think like an ADM or DON
2015-12-10 07:35:34 PM 241130 Right Rose. They were all engaged but it takes the snap of a finger to change that.
2015-12-10 07:35:45 PM rose48mary we have some very challenging residents...
2015-12-10 07:35:49 PM 241130 Agreed.
2015-12-10 07:35:58 PM susanb whats your suggestion
2015-12-10 07:36:01 PM kathyhughes and be proactive
2015-12-10 07:36:04 PM pec1963 That way if things change or people are unreliable you can change the activity keep residents safe and happy
2015-12-10 07:36:25 PM kathyhughes Start by teaching the staff about activities and your regulations
2015-12-10 07:36:34 PM cnorstedt I keep handy many small activities to switch to something else if they loose interest in one thing.
2015-12-10 07:36:48 PM 241130 Like what?
2015-12-10 07:36:52 PM pec1963 educate
2015-12-10 07:37:02 PM 241130 I hate to sound negative Kathy but sometimes its just not enough.
2015-12-10 07:37:04 PM jamie maybe walk other staff through your activities and give them visuals of what is happening
2015-12-10 07:37:06 PM kathyhughes Instead of telling staff at Dept Head meeting what activities you are doing pass out the regulations and go over them
