2017-09-27 06:03:08 PM julia46135 I work in Indiana.
2017-09-27 06:03:16 PM tcarswell55 long term
2017-09-27 06:03:21 PM cchase ok
2017-09-27 06:03:28 PM moniques enter the chat room
2017-09-27 06:03:40 PM julia46135 We do have some respite stays
2017-09-27 06:03:41 PM moniques good evening everyone
2017-09-27 06:03:56 PM cchase so what do you imagine is the difference if any re: long term vs. adult day?
2017-09-27 06:03:59 PM julia46135 Good evening.
2017-09-27 06:04:02 PM tcarswell55 i been working long term and rehab for 16 years
2017-09-27 06:04:03 PM cchase hello monique
2017-09-27 06:04:57 PM julia46135 Is the biggest difference different residents? Or do the people who participate in Adult Day come back daily?
2017-09-27 06:05:14 PM tcarswell55 the only difference i think is they leave and go home
2017-09-27 06:05:32 PM moniques adult day is more temporary and having seniors improve in ADLS and acitvitiies gear with continue education vs long term is more assistant
2017-09-27 06:05:44 PM cchase participants rather than residents (long term) are admitted just like LTC
2017-09-27 06:05:58 PM cchase yes they leave
2017-09-27 06:06:35 PM cchase participants are enrolled in the program for whatever no. of days per week.
2017-09-27 06:06:50 PM cchase attendance is fairly reg. from week to week
2017-09-27 06:06:53 PM tcarswell55 so are they admitted for the day
2017-09-27 06:07:00 PM moniques okay
2017-09-27 06:07:16 PM cchase we admit for the program. which might be three days/wk
2017-09-27 06:07:27 PM cchase or may be six days/wk
2017-09-27 06:07:37 PM tcarswell55 how long is the program
2017-09-27 06:07:42 PM cchase they attend on the days selected on admission
2017-09-27 06:07:46 PM julia46135 Do you have a similar calendar like you would in a LTC?
2017-09-27 06:07:56 PM cchase the program is ongoing.. till they need to leave
2017-09-27 06:08:26 PM cchase usually when they decline in health and families cannot keep up with them at home at night
2017-09-27 06:08:58 PM tcarswell55 do adult day have activity directors and assistants
2017-09-27 06:08:59 PM cchase yes- similar calendar but adult day is a robust group... more able to do for themselves
2017-09-27 06:09:12 PM cchase and also need more distraction
2017-09-27 06:09:27 PM julia46135 I think it is a nice program because it lets people stay home longer and allows their children to work and not stress about what their loved ones are doing.
2017-09-27 06:09:52 PM cchase yes... I am the center director with nursing and activity director, social services and physical therapy reporting to me
2017-09-27 06:10:17 PM julia46135 How long have you done this Celeste?
2017-09-27 06:10:23 PM cchase yes--- it is referred to as. "age in place"
2017-09-27 06:10:36 PM cchase over five years
2017-09-27 06:10:55 PM tcarswell55 so what are some activites do they like to do
2017-09-27 06:11:04 PM cchase also worked LTC for almost three years before ADH
2017-09-27 06:11:23 PM cchase they want to do it all
2017-09-27 06:11:34 PM cchase outings...movies...games...
2017-09-27 06:12:07 PM cchase the trick is that we offer two/three activities at the same time for which they get to choose which they want to attend
2017-09-27 06:12:34 PM cchase there is a very wide range of ages and disabilities
2017-09-27 06:12:35 PM moniques how many staff?
2017-09-27 06:13:06 PM julia46135 Does one person monitor all activities or do you have separtate staff for each activity? I know with some of the new regs coming they want us to offer smaller variety activities to appeal to several tastes.
2017-09-27 06:13:20 PM cchase have several RN's , four CNA's , activity director, assistants, social worker, physical therapist
2017-09-27 06:13:40 PM tcarswell55 do the cna help with activities also
2017-09-27 06:13:57 PM cchase each activity assistant is responsible to monitor the group attending that activity
2017-09-27 06:14:13 PM cchase yes...CNA's are expected to help out
2017-09-27 06:14:30 PM cchase so are the RN's and all the rest of us
2017-09-27 06:14:30 PM moniques expected or need to be told
2017-09-27 06:14:50 PM julia46135 That's good to know because I was wondering how in the world one person could handle different areas and give 100%
2017-09-27 06:14:58 PM cchase they know upon hire what the job entails
2017-09-27 06:15:08 PM julia46135 How many participants do you have on a given day?
2017-09-27 06:15:42 PM cchase average is btw. 35 to 40
2017-09-27 06:16:16 PM tcarswell55 not to bad i guess
2017-09-27 06:16:39 PM cchase extremely busy - this group of seniors are somewhat demanding
2017-09-27 06:16:51 PM cchase they are very vocal as to what they want
2017-09-27 06:17:09 PM julia46135 I bet it is Celeste! What age ranges are they?
2017-09-27 06:17:10 PM cchase it is all about the balance
2017-09-27 06:17:45 PM cchase technically we accept age 18 up
2017-09-27 06:17:57 PM cchase but it is more about the mix for me
2017-09-27 06:18:02 PM asantana enter the chat room
2017-09-27 06:18:11 PM tcarswell55 do some have behavior problems
2017-09-27 06:18:13 PM ginahalpin enter the chat room
2017-09-27 06:18:32 PM cchase I do a intake and determine if the newbie will mix with those already attending
2017-09-27 06:18:43 PM cchase it can be very challenging
2017-09-27 06:18:53 PM julia46135 Is it hard to gauge activities with age difference. My brother lives in a group home through a local Comprehensive Center and it's hard sometimes with age differences to plan their outings.
2017-09-27 06:19:04 PM cchase welcome folks
2017-09-27 06:19:32 PM cchase yes... we do not always have all go on a particular outing
2017-09-27 06:19:48 PM ginahalpin Thanks! Need to catch up - anyone work in a SNF?
2017-09-27 06:19:52 PM cchase some go some stay because it might not be appropriate for all
2017-09-27 06:19:54 PM tcarswell55 if they don mix well with other what normally happens
2017-09-27 06:20:03 PM tcarswell55 ok
2017-09-27 06:20:12 PM asantana Hello everyone, i work at a SNF

2017-09-27 06:20:58 PM cchase I have refused only a very small no. of those wanting to attend
2017-09-27 06:21:17 PM ginahalpin Thanks! Would like to learn more about adult day -
2017-09-27 06:21:19 PM moniques hello

2017-09-27 06:21:55 PM julia46135 Is it true you have to have a bed for all the participants?
2017-09-27 06:21:55 PM cchase it is my responsibility to ensure the safety of all
2017-09-27 06:22:09 PM moniques yes
2017-09-27 06:22:14 PM tcarswell55 yes
2017-09-27 06:22:24 PM cchase cannot have someone with no filters that scares the others
2017-09-27 06:22:37 PM julia46135 No that would not be good!
2017-09-27 06:22:41 PM cchase or is agressive towards a frail senior
2017-09-27 06:22:46 PM tcarswell55 do some try and leave the center once drop off
2017-09-27 06:23:01 PM cchase that can easily happen
2017-09-27 06:23:03 PM asantana do you have people with alzheimers that attened the adult day??
2017-09-27 06:23:09 PM cchase ofcourse
2017-09-27 06:23:25 PM cchase but we are secured..once they are in..they cannot leave
2017-09-27 06:23:30 PM cchase without supervision
2017-09-27 06:23:48 PM cchase we have a very large outdoor area for fresh air
2017-09-27 06:23:59 PM tcarswell55 so how do younger generation mix in with the elder
2017-09-27 06:24:04 PM cchase most are free to go out to the patio as they wish
2017-09-27 06:24:13 PM moniques what do you guys give to show they are attending and are in your hands. do they get a band?
2017-09-27 06:24:25 PM julia46135 Do you have to follow same guidelines like a SNF facility would or do you have special set of guidelines?
2017-09-27 06:24:39 PM cchase it takes some direction from staff but younger ones are usually the problem
2017-09-27 06:25:18 PM cchase we check them off as attending for that day
2017-09-27 06:25:23 PM cchase when they arrive
2017-09-27 06:25:50 PM cchase we have same guidelines as LTC
2017-09-27 06:26:11 PM cchase what do you suppose we do for paperwork
2017-09-27 06:26:30 PM julia46135 Probably very similar to our MDS for SNF?
2017-09-27 06:26:47 PM cchase yes julia..good answer
2017-09-27 06:27:06 PM cchase we complete MDS home care version 2.0
2017-09-27 06:27:21 PM cchase very similar to your MDS 3.0
2017-09-27 06:27:38 PM julia46135 Do you do daily assessments or still a 7 day window?
2017-09-27 06:28:06 PM asantana what if they dont go everyday??
2017-09-27 06:28:08 PM cchase we have daily progress notes...
2017-09-27 06:28:21 PM tcarswell55 is it done on the computer
2017-09-27 06:28:28 PM cchase when they attend we note how they are doing that day
2017-09-27 06:28:54 PM cchase progress notes, care plans, assessments, significant change, family care planning
2017-09-27 06:29:08 PM asantana is there a big turn around with the ones that attend?
2017-09-27 06:29:14 PM cchase we are a medical model thus nurses do med pass
2017-09-27 06:29:47 PM cchase no ... not too high of a turn around.
2017-09-27 06:29:48 PM tcarswell55 do they have to bring their own medicine since they do not stay overnight
2017-09-27 06:30:08 PM julia46135 Do they bring their meds daily or do you have meds you keep there for them?
2017-09-27 06:30:30 PM cchase most will leave a prescription bottle at the center - nursing will tell them when they need to refull
2017-09-27 06:30:33 PM cchase refil
2017-09-27 06:31:09 PM julia46135 How about meals are they family style or have different tables to sit at?
2017-09-27 06:31:21 PM cchase my drivers can bring when they pick them up but it must be in original bottles... no bags or sandwich bags
2017-09-27 06:31:43 PM cchase they usually have favorite seating for meals
2017-09-27 06:31:55 PM tcarswell55 do have rooms in case they get tired
2017-09-27 06:32:08 PM cchase we serve breakfast when they arrive...lunch and afternoon snack before they leave
2017-09-27 06:32:26 PM julia46135 LOL I have found in my years working LTC that the dining room is like being in High School all over! Sometimes my boss says its high school 2.0
2017-09-27 06:32:44 PM cchase so very true! lol
2017-09-27 06:32:53 PM asantana yes!!! lol
2017-09-27 06:33:03 PM tcarswell55 do you take someone that might be on a feeding tube
2017-09-27 06:33:18 PM cchase you can well imagine that they can get fusy over the smallest of things like serving size
2017-09-27 06:33:43 PM cchase someone else got more..but we measure out so it is always consistent
2017-09-27 06:34:10 PM cchase we also follow diets...diabetic... allergies, etc.
2017-09-27 06:34:50 PM julia46135 I bet!! We get meals for staff at my facility and we had people in housekeeping count how many fries they got on their plates and would complain if someone got more than they did!!! I feel for our Dining Director between Residents and Staff
2017-09-27 06:35:25 PM tcarswell55 do you have a good budget for supplies
2017-09-27 06:35:59 PM asantana do you plan for the whole month, week by week, or daily for the activities?

2017-09-27 06:38:47 PM asantana i dont think anyone in activities has time to sit lol
2017-09-27 06:38:56 PM cchase yes - I go over the calendar before it is published
2017-09-27 06:39:38 PM asantana is there religious groups that go in?
2017-09-27 06:39:58 PM cchase he..he asantana.... activity dept. does not get sitting priviliges.
2017-09-27 06:40:00 PM julia46135 The only time I sit is when they have me chained to my desk with all the paperwork we have to do!
2017-09-27 06:40:09 PM cchase ops typo
2017-09-27 06:41:05 PM cchase so imagine doing particpation reports, progress notes, care plans, assessments, history intake etc. along with leading activities
2017-09-27 06:41:13 PM cchase :o~(
2017-09-27 06:41:41 PM tcarswell55 wow
2017-09-27 06:41:54 PM asantana i know exactly what thats like!!
2017-09-27 06:41:58 PM cchase we do have a fair amount of volunteers
2017-09-27 06:42:05 PM cchase bet you do!!
2017-09-27 06:42:21 PM cchase lots of senior centers folks like to volunteer
2017-09-27 06:42:22 PM julia46135 I don't know what I would do without my Assistants, with all the charting being done I don't get the time I would like with my residents.
2017-09-27 06:42:35 PM cchase they do book club, garden club, mens club, etc
2017-09-27 06:43:15 PM cchase we have a real sweet hairdresser. she is very good with dementia patricipants
2017-09-27 06:43:19 PM julia46135 Do you have a lot of turnout for the men's club? That is one area I do struggle, my guys don't like to be as social as the ladies.
2017-09-27 06:43:20 PM asantana but not like a religious service ?
2017-09-27 06:43:46 PM cchase yes- religious visits too
2017-09-27 06:43:48 PM tcarswell55 mens club doesnt do well at my place either
2017-09-27 06:44:11 PM cchase mens club is pretty active...
2017-09-27 06:44:26 PM cchase it is lead by a gentlemen volunteer
2017-09-27 06:44:34 PM julia46135 I did a tailgate party with a college football game and pizza with root beer since we are a methodist home and the ladies crashed it LOL
2017-09-27 06:44:46 PM tcarswell55 wow
2017-09-27 06:44:56 PM cchase wow...that was so cool
2017-09-27 06:45:01 PM moniques thats cool
2017-09-27 06:45:09 PM julia46135 What do they do with your volunteer?
2017-09-27 06:46:17 PM cchase I once had a clergy tell me that he felt our folks are well enough to attend mass and so he did not offer to come to the center
2017-09-27 06:46:28 PM julia46135 That's sad...
2017-09-27 06:46:34 PM tcarswell55 that sad
2017-09-27 06:46:50 PM cchase I was not happy - for sure
2017-09-27 06:46:55 PM moniques wow
2017-09-27 06:47:05 PM cchase it was not very christian to me
2017-09-27 06:47:37 PM tcarswell55 i had one get mad because no one reserved a up front parking and left
2017-09-27 06:47:59 PM cchase the guys have a very special deal when they get together... the ladies do not attend at all until they get an invite
2017-09-27 06:48:20 PM asantana thats why i asked if religious groups went in to give service. i mean what if whoever drops them off at adult day isnt able to take them to service on sunday or whatever day they would normally go.
2017-09-27 06:48:21 PM julia46135 No, we are lucky to have a part time minister for our facility and he happens to be a national guard chaplain also. He will give it to them straight and pull no punches and they love him!!!!
2017-09-27 06:48:26 PM cchase what! parking issue... don't get me going
2017-09-27 06:48:29 PM ginahalpin Our Eucharist minister left last week because I was a few minutes late coming to the main room! I haven't heard from her since!!
2017-09-27 06:49:00 PM tcarswell55 wow
2017-09-27 06:49:06 PM ginahalpin She is a volunteer from the local church - thankfully another showed up this past Wednesday :)
2017-09-27 06:49:53 PM cchase gosh... so low on the tolerance scale
2017-09-27 06:50:12 PM tcarswell55 i guess they
2017-09-27 06:50:27 PM tcarswell55 never heard of what would jesus do
2017-09-27 06:50:31 PM cchase the thing is that older folks really want some type of spiritual uplifting
2017-09-27 06:50:32 PM asantana thankfully we havent had any issues with religious groups at my facility, thay are all respectful and know the residents needs!
2017-09-27 06:50:37 PM ginahalpin lol!
2017-09-27 06:51:17 PM ginahalpin There were residents in the room waiting for the service to start!
2017-09-27 06:51:19 PM julia46135 So I guess your preference Celeste is for ADH over LTC?
2017-09-27 06:51:43 PM cchase I am going to be kind and not say anything else about religious issues. :@
