2019-02-27 07:01:26 PM cassandrac yes

2019-02-27 07:03:05 PM cassandrac I love taking care of the residents
2019-02-27 07:03:07 PM kristenamrein I have a friend that's a CNA for a facility that I used to work nights in....I wouldn't have lasted as long as I did without him!
2019-02-27 07:03:13 PM cassandrac ty

2019-02-27 07:04:03 PM biancosherri I feel it :)
2019-02-27 07:04:04 PM kristenamrein Me too!
2019-02-27 07:04:04 PM cchase so does anyone have any experience with adult day health
2019-02-27 07:04:05 PM cassandrac Thanks everyone for your support
2019-02-27 07:04:18 PM salinass no i dont, but i think its very interesting
2019-02-27 07:04:20 PM cchase (F)
2019-02-27 07:04:31 PM kristenamrein Sort of...one of the facilities I interned in had an Adult Day Care program.
2019-02-27 07:05:31 PM cchase does anyone have any thoughts on what they think might be the major differences byw adult day & LTC
2019-02-27 07:05:41 PM kristenamrein Paperwork!
2019-02-27 07:05:54 PM cassandrac I work at a faclitie that holds 198 beds
2019-02-27 07:06:09 PM biancosherri Paperwork for sure
2019-02-27 07:06:10 PM salinass ours holds 150 bed i believe
2019-02-27 07:06:22 PM cchase how do you believe it differs in paperwork?
2019-02-27 07:06:24 PM kristenamrein Also the level of care would make a difference...those that are in Adult Day Cares tend to be somewhat more independent than nursing residents.
2019-02-27 07:06:41 PM cchase good one kristen
2019-02-27 07:06:51 PM kristenamrein I've heard throught the research I've done on Adult Day Care programs that the documentation is different.
2019-02-27 07:07:00 PM kristenamrein Thank you!
2019-02-27 07:07:18 PM salinass i think you could do a lot more than you could in an LTC facility
2019-02-27 07:07:33 PM cchase that actual was true a few years ago in terms of documentation but
2019-02-27 07:07:51 PM salinass your documetnation has changed right?
2019-02-27 07:08:02 PM cchase adult day is also under regs now and have to following clinical documentation in the same way as ltc
2019-02-27 07:08:11 PM salinass the one adult day care i visited had as much paperwork as we do
2019-02-27 07:08:14 PM cchase yes....more documentation
2019-02-27 07:08:15 PM carollucksinger enter the chat room
2019-02-27 07:08:26 PM biancosherri Oh I did not know that. Thank you
2019-02-27 07:08:39 PM cchase if the adult day is more of a social model
2019-02-27 07:08:53 PM cchase like a senior center - not so much on documentation
2019-02-27 07:08:59 PM salinass yes and you are able to do a little more things that we can
2019-02-27 07:09:18 PM cchase but if the adult day is medical it needs the same clinical documentation as ltc
2019-02-27 07:09:25 PM salinass yes it does
2019-02-27 07:10:20 PM cchase we are talking participation records, progress notes, care plans. all of it
2019-02-27 07:10:56 PM biancosherri I am learning so much with this class. I wish I would of taken it sooner
2019-02-27 07:11:07 PM cassandrac me to
2019-02-27 07:11:21 PM carollucksinger I picture adult daycare much like child care but on a more mature level, is that a bad assumption?
2019-02-27 07:11:28 PM cchase good to know that you feel that you are learning
2019-02-27 07:11:38 PM salinass i took the first course 2 years ago, and i wish i would have taken it sooner. but i am learning a lot
2019-02-27 07:11:39 PM biancosherri Thank you
2019-02-27 07:12:13 PM biancosherri I feel the same way Carol
2019-02-27 07:12:23 PM cchase I guess I would not aquate it to child care because seniors are often treated like children and they do not like that
2019-02-27 07:12:24 PM cassandrac I just found out about online classes
2019-02-27 07:12:30 PM kristenamrein I took the first one last year and wanted to go right into MEPAP 2 but my Dad had surgeory so I had to put off.
2019-02-27 07:12:37 PM cchase a social model is like a senior center
2019-02-27 07:12:50 PM kristenamrein So which do you like better?
2019-02-27 07:13:01 PM cchase so it is more lay back and has seniors that are extremely independent
2019-02-27 07:13:02 PM carollucksinger Oh I agree with treating them like children. Because you are so right they hate being treated like kids.
2019-02-27 07:13:17 PM biancosherri Nice
2019-02-27 07:13:24 PM kristenamrein And we shouldn't treat them like kids, they aren't!
2019-02-27 07:13:31 PM cassandrac When I get the 16weeks done.Im just going to keep going to get it all done
2019-02-27 07:13:35 PM cchase I have worked in a medical model for over 5 years
2019-02-27 07:13:42 PM salinass my mother in law goes to an adult day center in south texas and she loves it.
2019-02-27 07:13:56 PM carollucksinger Am I in the right chatroom?
2019-02-27 07:14:03 PM kristenamrein YEs
2019-02-27 07:14:06 PM kristenamrein *Yes*
2019-02-27 07:14:12 PM salinass they go to beach, have lots of parties. s
2019-02-27 07:14:25 PM salinass can i ask you something celeste
2019-02-27 07:14:34 PM cchase we do all the same paperwork and some of the folks need meds and insulin or nurses need to check wounds or oxygen
2019-02-27 07:14:39 PM cchase yes
2019-02-27 07:14:40 PM biancosherri How funand I think I would love to work in one too
2019-02-27 07:14:42 PM carollucksinger WEll, if I ever get bored, I think I would like to go to Adult day care
2019-02-27 07:15:20 PM cchase it is a busy busy day but I like most is that most of those attending are interactive in the activities
2019-02-27 07:15:27 PM cchase what's your questions
2019-02-27 07:15:31 PM kristenamrein So obviously the Adult Day Care has to have nursing staff, but is it 24 hour nursing staff?
2019-02-27 07:15:42 PM salinass do you think that small towns should have some type of adult day centers?
2019-02-27 07:15:46 PM cchase good question
2019-02-27 07:15:56 PM cchase adult day is only for the daytime
2019-02-27 07:16:12 PM biancosherri Oh I would love that. I miss that because I worked in an assisted living and now LTC totally different
2019-02-27 07:16:12 PM cchase no sleep overs - the day care license would not permit that
2019-02-27 07:16:45 PM kristenamrein So if there's bad weather, are you still expected to report to work?
2019-02-27 07:16:55 PM cchase we call this "age in place" when seniors get to live at home while they age and attend a program in the daytime
2019-02-27 07:16:56 PM salinass my mom lives in a small town and they have nothing for seniors there. i think it would be great to have something there for them. I now my mother would benefit from it.
2019-02-27 07:17:16 PM biancosherri I love that concept
2019-02-27 07:17:29 PM cchase we usually will call it up to the last minutes when it comes to cancellation
2019-02-27 07:17:40 PM cchase we do not want anyone to slip and fall
2019-02-27 07:17:59 PM cchase we do have requirements for our drives and the homes they go to
2019-02-27 07:18:06 PM salinass They have a senior center, but they only allow certain people there. my mom went there one time and they were very rude to her.
2019-02-27 07:18:21 PM cchase if it is not shoveled we usually do not pick them up
2019-02-27 07:18:25 PM salinass it was run by seniors
2019-02-27 07:18:34 PM biancosherri Oh no, not nice
2019-02-27 07:18:40 PM cchase that's not cool
2019-02-27 07:18:53 PM carollucksinger Thats sad because Seniors have a complex anyway
2019-02-27 07:18:54 PM biancosherri Did she speak her mind?
2019-02-27 07:19:03 PM cchase we keep them busy all day so they go home and sleep at night for their families
2019-02-27 07:19:11 PM salinass they were having a bean and cornbread day and they had put an ad in the paper
2019-02-27 07:19:20 PM biancosherri Aww I am jealous
2019-02-27 07:19:45 PM salinass and my mom and her friend went. The ladies there told them they were not wanted there and my mom and her freind said
2019-02-27 07:19:58 PM cchase not sure what that was all about but you could not do that in a licensed center
2019-02-27 07:20:14 PM cchase here is the thing
2019-02-27 07:20:15 PM salinass go ahead and keep your beans and cornbread, we make ours better. lol
2019-02-27 07:20:38 PM biancosherri I love it nd Karma to them lol
2019-02-27 07:20:39 PM carollucksinger are day care centers licensed
2019-02-27 07:20:42 PM cchase we do invite families but you do want to exercise care when you put something out to be open to the public
2019-02-27 07:21:09 PM cchase yes - medical day care is licenseed
2019-02-27 07:21:20 PM cchase social model does not need it
2019-02-27 07:21:37 PM salinass this little senior center in the town was run by the same seniors that would attend it. and they only liked their friends to go there.
2019-02-27 07:21:53 PM kristenamrein Do you go on field trips and if so, what kind?
2019-02-27 07:22:00 PM carollucksinger so it was a "Country Club" setting
2019-02-27 07:22:07 PM cchase going to imagine that it was a social model center -
2019-02-27 07:22:11 PM salinass yes it was carol
2019-02-27 07:22:23 PM salinass yes celeste
2019-02-27 07:23:05 PM cassandrac I know where I work. They do try and get the family to come to the activty
2019-02-27 07:23:11 PM cchase I do admission and beside ensuring they have funding for it my focus is that the newbies will mix well with those already attending
2019-02-27 07:23:52 PM cchase once had a gentleman who was a very nasty spirit and often went after the others - yelling and taking their things
2019-02-27 07:24:19 PM salinass there is a really great program here in our town. it is run thorugh a church here. it is free and they only meet on Wednesday. it is such a great program.
2019-02-27 07:24:25 PM cchase all manner of redirection was exhausted
2019-02-27 07:24:28 PM kristenamrein So what did you do about that gentleman
2019-02-27 07:24:34 PM kristenamrein *gentleman?*
2019-02-27 07:24:49 PM salinass did he have dementia
2019-02-27 07:24:54 PM biancosherri It is hard to redirect
2019-02-27 07:25:01 PM cchase we finally found placement for his elsewhere
2019-02-27 07:25:33 PM cchase some dementia but the family stated that he was very bitter about his wife's recent passing
2019-02-27 07:25:59 PM biancosherri Aww that is so sad and I see that at my place too
2019-02-27 07:26:20 PM cchase he felt the others were more declined and did not like being with them
2019-02-27 07:26:22 PM carollucksinger I am so glad I am taking the MEPAP classes because it is giving me information for not only my professional life but my future, if you know what I mean
2019-02-27 07:26:29 PM salinass aww, so he was just taking his anger and sadness out at evryone else
2019-02-27 07:26:51 PM cchase yes - we have social worker and she was super involved
2019-02-27 07:26:53 PM carollucksinger You are all so informative
2019-02-27 07:27:00 PM salinass bless his heart
2019-02-27 07:27:01 PM cchase we also have physical therapist
