2018-02-07 07:51:31 PM anissa44 yes one lady won't stay out of others rooms. When we had resident council last month they all complained.
2018-02-07 07:51:37 PM bethanyw also sometimes the residents that are in wheelchairs... I will take for "walk abouts" just to get them away from their normal surroundings. I find taking them outside on a sunny day calms them... I think it has to deal with vitamin D
2018-02-07 07:51:38 PM jpocorello001 makes sense to let them walk around

2018-02-12 06:13:08 PM karynbrinkley If they don't love it, I have to wonder if the residents do.
2018-02-12 06:13:18 PM jwimberly81 You work most of your life so it is important to like where you work and what you do

2018-02-12 06:14:06 PM lisai im thinking
2018-02-12 06:14:10 PM olivcar I've been somewhere where I didn't like it, and the residents were not happy either. It was challenging, but it made my job feel more important because I knew I needed to put more energy into giving them something that they would enjoy
2018-02-12 06:14:22 PM cbockis Resident centered everything
2018-02-12 06:14:33 PM karynbrinkley I wanted to talk about culture today
2018-02-12 06:14:37 PM karynbrinkley It's a buzz word
2018-02-12 06:14:40 PM jesjtipton In the very 1st activity class I took in 2006, the teacher kept saying, love what you do, do what you love, and love who you do it for....

2018-02-12 06:15:18 PM karynbrinkley I've worked a lot of places and they all talk about the importance of it but rarely pull off the culture where people thrive.
2018-02-12 06:15:27 PM jesjtipton Culture has changed so much in 13 years... and just keeps changing....
2018-02-12 06:15:30 PM karynbrinkley What's missing?

2018-02-12 06:19:02 PM cbockis sometimes employees dont really understand the resident
2018-02-12 06:19:04 PM olivcar Education on understanding our residents- being more than tolerant but accepting of our residents and the differences and uniqueness that they bring
2018-02-12 06:19:17 PM cbockis not their fault it just has to be a focus
2018-02-12 06:19:26 PM jesjtipton totally agree

2018-02-12 06:20:58 PM karynbrinkley Do you know anything about them? Does your ED? Administrator? If not, what can we do to seem more like a family?

2018-02-12 06:21:01 PM cbockis empowered yes! fortunate to have leaders over the years that did this
2018-02-12 06:21:11 PM sjorgensen I need a question answered that just came up last week. It's about "labeling" the tabletops with the residents' names so that they can sit at an assigned area...I think it's against their right to choose; but, the nurse thinks it'll make it easier!!! Please help!
