2016-06-07 05:52:32 PM akeller81 this is my 3rd chat
2016-06-07 05:52:34 PM kathyhughes The first thing I would do is figure out what you want the staff to do
2016-06-07 05:52:35 PM awatts Kathy? quick question! on the site it says Thursdays is for mepap2 is that correct?
2016-06-07 05:52:45 PM kathyhughes Right
2016-06-07 05:52:52 PM dana1223 Hope activities staff?
2016-06-07 05:52:53 PM akeller81 chat hasnt even started yet
2016-06-07 05:52:57 PM kathyhughes But MEPAP2 won't be chatting this week
2016-06-07 05:52:59 PM amorales lol
2016-06-07 05:53:15 PM hopec78 Just to help with activity when nessesary. They only help when food is invovled..lol
2016-06-07 05:53:15 PM awatts ok! how come we wont chat this week?
2016-06-07 05:53:16 PM akeller81 everyone is still c oming in
2016-06-07 05:53:16 PM kathyhughes Which staff are we talking about
2016-06-07 05:53:41 PM cbowen hope if you want them to be active, you have to get them involved with challenges or rewards
2016-06-07 05:53:46 PM hopec78 CNA, CMA, nursing, Med Aides. anyone.
2016-06-07 05:53:48 PM kathyhughes I will be in Raleigh, NC for the NCCAP Symposium
2016-06-07 05:54:03 PM awatts oh yes! that is right! my bad!
2016-06-07 05:54:04 PM cbowen i have a "volleyball team of residents and they challenge other departments
2016-06-07 05:54:12 PM dana1223 well you can have a challenge which unit has the most participation can get free lunch?
2016-06-07 05:54:18 PM hopec78 I have have BINGO at 6pm only to have the staff complain they want to put the residents to bed that early.
2016-06-07 05:54:22 PM akeller81 i find it hard for them to help cause they all have so much more to do
2016-06-07 05:54:30 PM kathyhughes I would teach staff about the importance of activities
2016-06-07 05:54:32 PM hopec78 Good idea dana
2016-06-07 05:54:36 PM awatts Im still looking for flights to go! how much does it cost to attend?
2016-06-07 05:54:57 PM holly5 enter the chat room
2016-06-07 05:55:11 PM dana1223 yes that is frustrating. You can remind them that it is a resident's right to participate in activities and by putting them to bed early is a violation of their rights. I would do it nicely of course
2016-06-07 05:55:15 PM holly5 hello all
2016-06-07 05:55:17 PM cbowen your facility should get tickets for a certain number of beds
2016-06-07 05:55:23 PM hopec78 thing is right now I am working on having a Recess Day. Which invovles 5 staff members to choose 5 residents to complete in events throughout the day.

2016-06-07 05:55:50 PM awatts not bad price!
2016-06-07 05:56:03 PM hopec78 I have gotten gift cards, flowers, food for prizes and no one is volunteer.
2016-06-07 05:56:03 PM cbowen try to start smaller- like a scavenger hunt where you pair them

2016-06-07 05:57:04 PM kathyhughes Hello All
2016-06-07 05:57:13 PM janet35 good evening everyone
2016-06-07 05:57:20 PM korellana we work with nursing department .. in the evening i do movie night but CNA bring residents ... so reduces falls...
2016-06-07 05:57:22 PM anitas hello everyone
2016-06-07 05:57:22 PM kathyhughes Getting staff and other depts interested in helping activities
2016-06-07 05:57:27 PM lladio I found talking to my DON and ADON along with the charge nurses for each shift to be a big help with assisting resident down for activities.
2016-06-07 05:57:31 PM dana1223 if you can't get staff to assist maybe you can bring in some high schoolers to assist at Bingo sometimes they need community serivce for college applications

2016-06-07 05:57:38 PM mariahmatthews enter the chat room
2016-06-07 05:57:43 PM cbowen see if you can bring in an aide on their day off to help with acitviies and the education of what the aide has to do will start changing the climate
2016-06-07 05:57:44 PM hopec78 Kathy I am supposed to have them including my DON and admin to watch a 70 min video on the Music&Memory but it keeps getting rescheduled.

2016-06-07 05:58:21 PM edknowles i can only get staff to go on outing only because they want to get out of working
2016-06-07 05:58:23 PM cbowen is anyone else using the movement program for high risk residents?
2016-06-07 05:58:24 PM 34abigailam hello
2016-06-07 05:58:27 PM twebster I must say that most of our CNAs are good about helping to get all the residents to activities

2016-06-07 05:59:09 PM anitas We ask the CNAs to stay and participate when they assist with transporting residents.
2016-06-07 05:59:13 PM hopec78 That is where I am going tomorrow Sara. Hopefully Ill have some luck
2016-06-07 05:59:16 PM wildmc00 Hello everyone. I will agree CNAs are wonderful helpers and can do a lot with upset patients..
2016-06-07 05:59:19 PM holly5 I have to agree with twebster. My CNA are awesome in helping when they can
2016-06-07 05:59:23 PM janet35 we usually make an announcment asking all available CNA's to assist residents to activity
2016-06-07 05:59:27 PM lladio That's a wonderful ideal. For High School students to volunteer reaching out in the community.
2016-06-07 05:59:32 PM dana1223 Hope can you talk to you administrator. Let him/her know you'd like to become the best activities department in the region and it should be everone's job to help
2016-06-07 05:59:38 PM edithl enter the chat room
2016-06-07 05:59:50 PM 060716 i rarely get help from CNA with tranporting my residents to activities
2016-06-07 05:59:51 PM dana1223 administrators like that kind of thing it inclines them to help more
2016-06-07 05:59:53 PM cbowen i have some great high school volunteers- still 5 months later no assistant but have great teenagers
2016-06-07 05:59:54 PM kmunson well hi everyone
2016-06-07 06:00:05 PM dana1223 hi
2016-06-07 06:00:11 PM akeller81 Them bringing them to an activity is different then them helping with one. I know they cant really do that when they have others to tend to

2016-06-07 06:00:32 PM cbowen so wat does everyone do with high at risk fall residents with the exercise?
2016-06-07 06:00:32 PM akeller81 hello
2016-06-07 06:00:33 PM twebster I have a young lady that is home schooled and she comes to volunteer with her mom weekley. She calls Bingo, Sings to the resients, helps to paint nails..... she is wonderful!!
2016-06-07 06:00:34 PM hopec78 I was told no one under the age of 18 can volunteer
2016-06-07 06:00:38 PM wildmc00 I have been allowed to have high school students to volunteer they must watch an abuse video but they need to earn credits for school
2016-06-07 06:00:41 PM kathyhughes Sometimes you have to convince the staff that when the residents are with you it is one less person that they have to worry about
2016-06-07 06:00:42 PM kmunson What is the discussion tonight
2016-06-07 06:00:45 PM dana1223 aw thats lousy
2016-06-07 06:00:48 PM akeller81 I HAVE FAMILY VOLUNTEERS
2016-06-07 06:00:53 PM cbowen wild it is in your policy book
2016-06-07 06:00:55 PM dianed72 enter the chat room
2016-06-07 06:00:56 PM twebster We do dit and be fit.... all our exercises are sitting in a chair
2016-06-07 06:00:57 PM mgancarz 060716 - I have the same problem at my facility there are only a select few who lend a hand in transporting residents to and from activities
2016-06-07 06:01:00 PM saraurb Maybe an inservice with the staff on the importance of activities in the residents daily routine.
2016-06-07 06:01:08 PM brandiedwards I also have family volunteers.
2016-06-07 06:01:08 PM kmunson Got that right Kathy
2016-06-07 06:01:11 PM dianed72 Hi everyone!
2016-06-07 06:01:16 PM aornelas yep
2016-06-07 06:01:17 PM kathyhughes Inservices are a good start
2016-06-07 06:01:18 PM dana1223 what about a church group? Sometimes church groups or the women's auxillary adopt buildings to help in
2016-06-07 06:01:18 PM twebster sit and be fit!!
2016-06-07 06:01:23 PM anitas The aides can also be our best cheerleaders to get resident participation
2016-06-07 06:01:38 PM kmunson Inservices huh...
2016-06-07 06:01:40 PM cbowen have a challenge for housekeeping one week and the most residents brought and taken back by one housekeeps gets a gift
2016-06-07 06:01:40 PM deborahc i keep the highest fall risk patients closest to me during excercise
2016-06-07 06:01:49 PM jacmjerome we always remind them if you are bringing them to the activity thats one less person for them to have to take care of for an hour
2016-06-07 06:01:51 PM kathyhughes and sometimes we have to educate staff about our regulations so that they know that they are a part of it
2016-06-07 06:01:56 PM 060716 me and my assistant seem to spend more time in morning gathering residents for exercise tham the actual exercise time
2016-06-07 06:01:57 PM hopec78 I am still trying to get the inservices scheduled and even offered free lunch. only two out of 20 stayed to finish the video.
2016-06-07 06:01:57 PM dana1223 yes the inservices you can bring up the activity requirements and what state looks at to make sure people are getting their needs met
2016-06-07 06:01:58 PM wildmc00 That is true Kathy inservices are very inportant and should be done every 3 months or so..
2016-06-07 06:02:10 PM twebster yes they really do help
2016-06-07 06:02:12 PM janet35 if a aide wont even transport then thats says a lot about their work ethic
2016-06-07 06:02:13 PM cbowen i do the same with high risk but this is some new program that is to help with them not falling
2016-06-07 06:02:24 PM lladio I have found that when RCS and other nursing staff are behind That myself along with the Restorative team will assist our residents to activities daily.
2016-06-07 06:02:25 PM saraurb it is SOOOOO awesome when families get involved!! If other families are seeing them involved, it might spark something with them as well!
2016-06-07 06:02:26 PM 34abigailam where i work, they have inservices every month
2016-06-07 06:02:26 PM amorales inservices are good
2016-06-07 06:02:29 PM kathyhughes You should also be a part of their orientation
2016-06-07 06:02:40 PM kathyw enter the chat room
2016-06-07 06:02:45 PM dana1223 unfortunately you need your administrator to back you or else they don't stay consistent
2016-06-07 06:02:46 PM twebster thats true kathy!!!!!
2016-06-07 06:02:47 PM isabel1 the CNAs in our facility do not participate that much in the activities but we are just thankful that they get the residents up, and put them to the activity area and when they needed to go to the bathroom, the aides take them and bring them back
2016-06-07 06:02:47 PM kmunson Yes I completely agree Kathy, otherwise it's all confusing
2016-06-07 06:02:48 PM hopec78 That's true Kathy. Im still going to try. I have had help from home health and hospice volunteers. They are my angels
2016-06-07 06:02:59 PM janet35 agreed it should be made clear when they are hired
2016-06-07 06:03:00 PM anitas At times, we run an activity for the aides to team up with a resident, both have fun and allows the aides to be part of the fun side of our residents,

2016-06-07 06:03:33 PM dianed72 I have the same problem. ost of the CNA's think that i have to transport all th esidents and then wonder why activities starts late.
2016-06-07 06:03:38 PM edithl I have the same problem , it's extremelly hard to have the cna's bring the resients for the activities
2016-06-07 06:03:43 PM janet35 cna school is a great idea!
2016-06-07 06:03:48 PM terriea enter the chat room
2016-06-07 06:04:05 PM dana1223 can you go to Sams and stock up on candy or sodas and hand them out to the staff after they

2016-06-07 06:04:15 PM aornelas yes, they come get their clinical hours at our facility so it helps us out both ways
2016-06-07 06:04:16 PM dianed72 Our resorative group can be so helpful but only when they aren't busy.
2016-06-07 06:04:16 PM teaves i really don't have that problem, most of my cna's will bring residents so they don't have to watch them
2016-06-07 06:04:20 PM hopec78 I guess I can look into the CNA program again.
2016-06-07 06:04:23 PM kmunson Yea we also have students come in and thank goodness they do love helping out
2016-06-07 06:04:29 PM deborahc so how about ideas to help motivate cnas to help with transporting?
2016-06-07 06:04:33 PM korellana the head of nurses in my floor do activities with residents every 2 weeks! im lucky
2016-06-07 06:04:41 PM brandiedwards I have a resident that is very mobile, but has some dementia. She loves to help, so I always ask her to help knock on doors.
