2016-10-11 06:51:49 PM sharonrwaltz our name is the Church of God Home, so that's the Christian denomination we're associated with, but we also have quite a few Catholics. We have two Protestant services a week and a Catholic mass once a month. We have an Estonian Orthodox resident currently, and she's the first person with that faith i.d. i've ever met. It's amazing what we learn from the residents. They love to talk about their beliefs and their faith. It gets them through the hard times.

2016-10-11 06:52:48 PM jenniferezy i am Jewish it funny becasue I am the only Jewish one there so they ask me all kinds of stuff
2016-10-11 06:52:51 PM marissavega1274 staff
2016-10-11 06:52:51 PM 123504147 maybe hold their hand for a minute or give them a hug...sometimes they are just looking for contact
2016-10-11 06:52:59 PM kathyhughes I had a student who had a resident that was Pagan
2016-10-11 06:53:04 PM jessicab today is yom kupor
2016-10-11 06:53:05 PM stephr518 A church van is awesome. We had two residents that you use to leave on Sundays and I love that they would that.
2016-10-11 06:53:06 PM slittle marissavega1274 For touching, if it's appropriate I let them. Or i hold their hand in my two hands. If they want a drink i bring them water
2016-10-11 06:53:06 PM marissavega1274 no he was looking for a boob
2016-10-11 06:53:07 PM arepic I've had residents try to grope me, lift my shirt up and pull my pants down. Unfortunately all I could do was try to walk away and let the nurse know.
2016-10-11 06:53:08 PM sharonrwaltz touchy residents...well, up to a point it's okay. if it's endearing touch. i let them do it. if it gets innappropriate, you can pull away or dismiss yourself from the room.
2016-10-11 06:53:11 PM jessicab many of my residents were fasting
2016-10-11 06:53:13 PM elimazeg Hannukah!!! sounds good I've to go into internet to be informed because, I don't know nothing about the theme
2016-10-11 06:53:14 PM martyr58 Guys that try to touch- I just take their hands in mine and tell them that it makes me uncomfortable - so they usually stop.
2016-10-11 06:53:19 PM tvs320 Thats interesting.
2016-10-11 06:53:19 PM 123504147 but i do have a fellow that touches innapropriately...i try not to give him any negative attention
2016-10-11 06:53:23 PM lisa2 we usually tell them no or move their hand.maybe say thats not nice.Or we dont do that
2016-10-11 06:53:25 PM chazclayton 12345 we set up a back drop using some of our cream color table clothes and we also covered up the wheelchair with clothes and we did the lipstick and blush for the ladies and we posed them wearing hats infont of some large floral arragments
2016-10-11 06:53:31 PM sharonrwaltz yeah, sometimes you can redirect by just holding their hand.
2016-10-11 06:53:36 PM kathybrosrt So Kathy I'm assuming he didnt get any religious benefits?
2016-10-11 06:53:40 PM kacies what would you do for a residents whos religion was not based on a belief in god but still reqiuired practice? it seems alot of people dont know about other religions. even the other residents dont undestand and can be mean to those who arent christians

2016-10-11 06:53:55 PM nancyd we have a jehovah witness but he has been coming up and getting involved in our singing and church.....
2016-10-11 06:53:56 PM 123504147 Chaz...Killer idea...totally stealing that!
2016-10-11 06:53:57 PM marissavega1274 ok i find myself saying no we have our own space

2016-10-11 06:54:06 PM marissavega1274 please stop
2016-10-11 06:54:07 PM mcurtis512 i agree with mak
2016-10-11 06:54:08 PM mark26 and if the resident do it again just tell to the social worker
2016-10-11 06:54:12 PM pamgoodwin We are having a pink day tomorrow also
2016-10-11 06:54:12 PM sharonrwaltz just ask the resident what their practices are. the resident can inform you better than a text book can.
2016-10-11 06:54:13 PM mcurtis512 mark
2016-10-11 06:54:18 PM auazuibke0114 I agree
2016-10-11 06:54:20 PM kacies pagans would actually have alot of different fun activities!
2016-10-11 06:54:21 PM marissavega1274 ok i did make a care plan on it
2016-10-11 06:54:22 PM amarkie Love pink day!
2016-10-11 06:54:26 PM carolyna Was just going to say that mtg
2016-10-11 06:54:30 PM kathyhughes Well the actually had to make a tent in their courtyard as the resident would want to worship naked and they would let the resident use that
2016-10-11 06:54:30 PM 123504147 Is pink day for breast cancer awarness? Great idea
2016-10-11 06:54:34 PM sharonrwaltz whatever their practices are, you can try to accomodate them. if they read new age books as a pagan, you can get those from the library.
2016-10-11 06:54:36 PM martyr58 We do some type of meditation every day just to reset. I usually get about 5-7 asleep within 45 seconds
2016-10-11 06:54:40 PM kacies i work on a dementia unit. alot of the residesnts cant explain much

2016-10-11 06:54:47 PM mark26 yes mcurtis512
2016-10-11 06:54:55 PM arepic I would try to reason with the person, mostly male, and I would say "My boyfirend/husband wouldn't like you touching me" and sometimes they would stop. Other times I would have say that my dad would be upset if he kept touching me...sometimes they would stop, other times they kept going and I would chart it and let the nursing team know
2016-10-11 06:54:55 PM mtg1071 Naked tent and whiskey shots
2016-10-11 06:54:59 PM mcurtis512 Yea it for breast cancer
2016-10-11 06:55:00 PM dorisb We're going to do the Hanukkah celebration. Since there are no Jews in our area, was sondering if anyone knows where a person can find a Mennorah or a dreidel?
