2017-10-04 06:50:37 PM cchase indeed we do become targets
2017-10-04 06:50:44 PM carl3815 hard to redirect that sometimes that's when music comes in handy
2017-10-04 06:51:24 PM cchase yes - back away - then go play soft music
2017-10-04 06:51:41 PM nikiawyche yes I teach that at our in service
2017-10-04 06:52:18 PM cchase sometimes they are upset because that perceived that you are making fun of what they feel
2017-10-04 06:52:19 PM nikiawyche it's amazing when we do our role plays that staff sometimes will not back away we really stress that to give them a minute
2017-10-04 06:52:40 PM julia46135 Does anyone have issues with staff playing music they like for our residents versus playing music from their era? I have some staff that won't play the older stuff saying resident's like their music
2017-10-04 06:53:04 PM lindsaylu85 yes
2017-10-04 06:53:10 PM cchase use the TOOL
2017-10-04 06:53:12 PM jessicarae Yes Julia
2017-10-04 06:53:31 PM cchase you can bet savely that they remember something from long ago
2017-10-04 06:53:31 PM carl3815 i have that issue and I have the luck of being able to delete what is on the ipad. so I delete the stations that are not geared towards the residents
2017-10-04 06:53:33 PM lindsaylu85 I have it posted if i pop in and there is anything that is not resident approved i write them up.
2017-10-04 06:53:45 PM cchase they will sing the words
2017-10-04 06:53:50 PM cchase thus redirected
2017-10-04 06:53:56 PM lauriec I start talking about their job or their family as if we were friends for a very long time. They usually calm down thinking I must be someone they know and trust
2017-10-04 06:54:08 PM lindsaylu85 I dont allow any music new then the 80's and that is because i have residents that are younger.
2017-10-04 06:54:33 PM cchase music that is too new tends to make them feel older
2017-10-04 06:54:44 PM julia46135 Those are good ideas, I try to reeducate and they go right back to it. It is nursing staff that is doing it.
2017-10-04 06:55:01 PM carl3815 I'm sure it is over stimulating too. I know it is for me lol
2017-10-04 06:55:01 PM nikiawyche my residents love some of the new songs so I allow them to play music they just have to watch the residents moods like they love I'm happy
2017-10-04 06:55:03 PM cchase we had someone that did not speak yet would sing the words to a song from long ago
2017-10-04 06:55:18 PM moniques i give a mix of oldies and modern. I have one resident that listen to 92.3 and wants more of the latest music
2017-10-04 06:55:19 PM cchase yes - overstimulation is not a good thing
2017-10-04 06:55:23 PM carl3815 I have one like that. She knows every word to every song
2017-10-04 06:55:26 PM jessicarae Music is a wonderful tool to use
2017-10-04 06:55:45 PM cchase some staff say what they do cause they are the ones that like the music not the residents
2017-10-04 06:56:08 PM cchase there is something called laughter yoga
2017-10-04 06:56:17 PM julia46135 i understand the overstimulation, my hubbie listens to what I call "anger" music and I get overstiumlated listening to it LOL
2017-10-04 06:56:19 PM moniques laughter yoga?

2017-10-04 06:59:08 PM cchase so - repeat yourself and smile till your cheeks pop...
2017-10-04 06:59:14 PM julia46135 I did the VDT and went back to my facility and hugged all my residents, cause if that's an inkling of what they go through, god bless them.
