2018-02-28 07:27:49 PM jesjtipton Day Centers seem like the place to be..
2018-02-28 07:27:55 PM kenney0217 I'm in MA, we have ADH everywhere...great option to keep a loved one home longer
2018-02-28 07:28:05 PM sylmat6 WELL WE DO HAVE A SENIOR CENTER
2018-02-28 07:28:07 PM jpocorello001 these facility sound great, wish we had one here
2018-02-28 07:28:14 PM amymc me too
2018-02-28 07:28:20 PM abanks yes but if you cant look after your loved one then I would think LTC
2018-02-28 07:28:24 PM lidiaal06 The cutest thing is seeing this elderly staying active... for example, I have a 80year male learning how to use an iphone
2018-02-28 07:28:27 PM dhopkins along with home care
2018-02-28 07:28:29 PM cchase they are sprouting because of the costs
2018-02-28 07:28:38 PM sylmat6 AGREE
2018-02-28 07:28:55 PM jpocorello001 how many rooms are there in the facility?
2018-02-28 07:29:05 PM abanks might be great if they are early stage dementia but not for advanced, they need around the clock care really
2018-02-28 07:29:11 PM cchase many families combine home care with ADH
2018-02-28 07:29:29 PM abanks and if you dont have alot of help it can be very hard on the families
2018-02-28 07:29:32 PM jesjtipton Combining helps with care costs I bet..
2018-02-28 07:29:34 PM kenney0217 I kept my mom n my home until her death, ADH was a great option for when I worked, so I know she was loved, taken care of and safe
2018-02-28 07:29:38 PM cchase home care staff picks them up from our center to get them home
2018-02-28 07:29:39 PM amymc do you have people who try to wonder home
2018-02-28 07:29:55 PM dhopkins I'm sure abanks...I agree
2018-02-28 07:30:16 PM cchase we are a secured facility
2018-02-28 07:30:27 PM jesjtipton Is the ADH secure? for dementia residents?
2018-02-28 07:30:43 PM jesjtipton welp.. just got my answer haha
2018-02-28 07:30:44 PM cchase once we have them inside they cannot go out unless staff assists
2018-02-28 07:31:02 PM amymc do you use alarms
2018-02-28 07:31:07 PM abanks they do sound like a great facility to keep elderly busy
2018-02-28 07:31:09 PM dcorvin u have a code to get in and of the fauctlity
2018-02-28 07:31:16 PM cchase yes... we do have dementia and secure facilities ease the family's minds
2018-02-28 07:31:37 PM cchase yes... alarms but they are not sound operated
2018-02-28 07:31:43 PM lidiaal06 I have high functioning and dementia mixed in my center
2018-02-28 07:31:58 PM abanks it would be great to keep your loved one home as long as possible
2018-02-28 07:32:01 PM cchase they flash lights so as not to scare folks in the center
2018-02-28 07:32:14 PM jesjtipton Do you host family events as well? Like picnics and lunches since you are only open during the day?
2018-02-28 07:32:18 PM amymc that's a good idea
2018-02-28 07:32:26 PM abanks have them out throughout the day then home at night
2018-02-28 07:32:35 PM cchase we have magnetic key pods
2018-02-28 07:32:36 PM jpocorello001 we have high and low functioning
2018-02-28 07:32:52 PM cchase yes.. we have a patio that is also secure
2018-02-28 07:32:58 PM jpocorello001 you did say the residents do go home at night?
2018-02-28 07:33:08 PM cchase they are permitted outdoors to the pation when they want
2018-02-28 07:33:08 PM amymc where do they go if they need a nap
2018-02-28 07:33:10 PM kenney0217 secure patio must be nice

2018-03-05 07:04:48 PM ryork tx
2018-03-05 07:04:57 PM karynbrinkley Is there anything you need assistance with?
2018-03-05 07:05:12 PM karynbrinkley Or all things going well?
2018-03-05 07:05:38 PM ryork finals practicum is a lot harder than midterms
2018-03-05 07:06:10 PM karynbrinkley Is there anything we can help with?
2018-03-05 07:06:30 PM kristenamrein I'd say that the final is easier than the midterm, but the paper is really difficult. I have a lot going on right now, so any spare second I get is saved for that paper that's due next week.
2018-03-05 07:06:48 PM karynbrinkley What is it about?
2018-03-05 07:06:56 PM karynbrinkley Don't over think it.
2018-03-05 07:07:01 PM ryork i work with hospice and volunteer at an assisted living i am having a hard time doing the practicums
2018-03-05 07:07:31 PM karynbrinkley You can modify it. Which ones?
2018-03-05 07:08:02 PM yamaris2305 In my work I have many people with Alzheimer's and I am working with activities that stimulate memory like making easy puzzles,
2018-03-05 07:08:08 PM kristenamrein My paper is on Arthritis, it's just narrowing down the research
2018-03-05 07:09:30 PM karynbrinkley It is time consuming regarding the research. I remember when I was working on mine. It is so rewarding though.
2018-03-05 07:09:33 PM ryork about the educational programs
2018-03-05 07:10:10 PM ryork do i have to invite somebody to do that in the facility?
2018-03-05 07:10:14 PM karynbrinkley Love the puzzle ideas. I would love to see what you've done.
2018-03-05 07:10:28 PM ryork does that require budget like for the certification and stuff
2018-03-05 07:10:34 PM kristenamrein We have several services in NH that offer Adult Education, so I'm not worried about that. Before I landed my job (I was unemployed at the time), I considered taking those classes.
2018-03-05 07:10:48 PM yamaris2305 I'm going to do my ventilator breathing project
2018-03-05 07:10:58 PM karynbrinkley Oh, for the educational programs, you can invite somebody or you can skype etc... You can think out of the box on all of those to make them fit your budget.
2018-03-05 07:11:27 PM ryork i dont have a budget, i am paying for my own class
2018-03-05 07:11:36 PM kristenamrein Me too
2018-03-05 07:11:50 PM karynbrinkley Oh, I misunderstood your question
2018-03-05 07:12:27 PM ryork thats ok
2018-03-05 07:12:50 PM karynbrinkley Are you trying to find somebody to come to your community for free?
2018-03-05 07:13:33 PM ryork there is already one that does the special exercise for the residents,
2018-03-05 07:13:59 PM ryork i can probably incorporate that isnt it
2018-03-05 07:14:22 PM karynbrinkley You can invite professionals or collge students etc...There are all kinds of professions in churches if they will announce that you need volunteers for specific programmimg.
2018-03-05 07:14:36 PM karynbrinkley college
2018-03-05 07:14:48 PM karynbrinkley I meant professionals
2018-03-05 07:14:53 PM kristenamrein That could work, I did that for another facility I volunteered at. I taught an iPad class!
2018-03-05 07:14:55 PM karynbrinkley Not typing well tonight
2018-03-05 07:15:03 PM karynbrinkley that's really cool
2018-03-05 07:15:13 PM ryork ok thats a good idea
2018-03-05 07:15:39 PM karynbrinkley YOu can look inside your own community. Staff, residents, and families can assist
2018-03-05 07:16:06 PM karynbrinkley Our residents have past lives and talents
2018-03-05 07:16:20 PM ryork and it says that we need to include a certificate of participation
2018-03-05 07:16:30 PM yamaris2305 Community clubs often have volunteers who know many areas and that can help, and the most important thing is that they are always willing to visit when requested
2018-03-05 07:16:52 PM karynbrinkley True
2018-03-05 07:17:04 PM ryork yes
2018-03-05 07:17:29 PM karynbrinkley It's all just an idea problem
2018-03-05 07:17:47 PM kristenamrein See if your local school system has Adult Education classes as well, they might be able to help. Ours does for just about anything.
2018-03-05 07:18:07 PM karynbrinkley check the libraries too
2018-03-05 07:18:13 PM ryork ok, thank you for all the input....
2018-03-05 07:18:21 PM ryork i am taking down notes
2018-03-05 07:18:30 PM karynbrinkley It is fun to brainstorm, right?
2018-03-05 07:18:36 PM ryork it is
2018-03-05 07:18:49 PM yamaris2305 In my case, I have a group of ladies who go once or twice a month to give motivational talks to my residents, on different topics. But they almost always speak for people who are going through depression, isolation, or are adapting themselves to the nursing home.
