2017-07-12 06:11:11 PM cchase yes - some old school health care people would raise their voices... so they would ensure they are heard
2017-07-12 06:11:40 PM cchase but that could be perceived as confrontational

2017-07-12 06:14:20 PM cchase they DO NOT have the ability to think the action through before it happens like us

2017-07-12 06:15:40 PM cchase the smallest action can come across the wrong way
2017-07-12 06:15:41 PM nikiawyche and allow them 90 sections to respond
2017-07-12 06:15:52 PM jcking ok
2017-07-12 06:16:03 PM cchase right... we call it chunking (one step at a time)
2017-07-12 06:16:04 PM jackieb92 i notice some of my residents get so upset and some of them are just calm and happy, i understand every resident is different but does this have more to do with their personality or the stage they are in?
2017-07-12 06:16:26 PM jcking ok
2017-07-12 06:16:30 PM cchase if you walked in the room with a frown - guess what happens??
2017-07-12 06:16:35 PM cynkarnes76 I had a very productive exchange tonight with one of our ladies, invited her to our sing along and she stayed and seemed to enjoy it (no regular behavioral problems)
2017-07-12 06:16:41 PM jackieb92 they get upset because they can tell
2017-07-12 06:16:49 PM cchase right jackie
