2019-03-27 06:30:28 PM cchase nurses like to do a health related informational class

2019-03-27 06:30:49 PM cchase social worker does a variety of support groups
2019-03-27 06:31:00 PM salinass i think my internent is acting up
2019-03-27 06:31:01 PM biancosherri Everyone should be responsible it is for the mental well being of the residents
2019-03-27 06:31:02 PM cchase I thought you were back before???
2019-03-27 06:31:14 PM virginiamooney lol
2019-03-27 06:31:19 PM salinass i was, but it keeps kickkin me out
2019-03-27 06:31:21 PM salinass lol
2019-03-27 06:31:22 PM cchase everyone is responsible according to the regs
2019-03-27 06:31:36 PM cchase tell it to stop kicking you out
2019-03-27 06:31:43 PM cchase :@
2019-03-27 06:31:44 PM salinass i am trying lol
2019-03-27 06:31:50 PM biancosherri I agree but itis hard to reinfore that
2019-03-27 06:31:52 PM salinass ({)
2019-03-27 06:31:58 PM virginiamooney :P
2019-03-27 06:32:02 PM cchase I find that it's a mindset
2019-03-27 06:32:04 PM salinass it is hard to reinforce it
2019-03-27 06:32:06 PM biancosherri haha
2019-03-27 06:32:08 PM cchase oh fressy
2019-03-27 06:32:55 PM cchase old school staff tend to like to keep things very seperated whereas newbies like to chance to do different things
2019-03-27 06:33:02 PM salinass with our program with our memory care, the care staff is responsible for leading an activity
2019-03-27 06:33:07 PM virginiamooney Makes sense
2019-03-27 06:33:09 PM biancosherri The caregivers think the activity staff have an easy job and just play all day.....NOT! Lol
2019-03-27 06:33:20 PM virginiamooney I agree!
2019-03-27 06:33:21 PM salinass yes that is what they think
2019-03-27 06:33:30 PM salinass they think all we do is play bingo all day
2019-03-27 06:33:47 PM cchase that is an issue because they are not educated on the importance of the activity role
2019-03-27 06:33:51 PM virginiamooney As if we actually enjoy bingo and the drama that goes with!
2019-03-27 06:34:00 PM biancosherri Yep and they would never be able to do all the paperwork and computer work that goes with it
2019-03-27 06:34:04 PM salinass right
2019-03-27 06:34:08 PM virginiamooney True.
2019-03-27 06:34:08 PM cchase maybe consider training or orientation class for the staf
2019-03-27 06:34:11 PM salinass yes, celeste, we have to educate the staff
2019-03-27 06:34:12 PM cchase staff
2019-03-27 06:34:27 PM salinass yes, when i am a director, that is what i am going to do
2019-03-27 06:34:43 PM salinass i will have a mandatory inservice on that
2019-03-27 06:34:46 PM cchase your admin might support that??
2019-03-27 06:35:03 PM biancosherri We have orientationevery week for new people and I do my part. We also have monthly staff meetings and it is brought up as well but no help whatsoever
2019-03-27 06:35:24 PM salinass i do think they will, espceially since it is required by all now, not only activities
2019-03-27 06:35:42 PM cchase true
2019-03-27 06:35:48 PM virginiamooney (y)
2019-03-27 06:35:56 PM salinass they tend to only focus on "resident care"
2019-03-27 06:36:16 PM biancosherri I just got a new administrator who was an activity director so I know she has my back now, but it will take some time to fix a bad habit
2019-03-27 06:36:28 PM cchase the key is not to complain about needing help but to educate on the importance of your role and the quality of life of each person you serve
2019-03-27 06:36:30 PM salinass with our program, we have pararell progams that we do
2019-03-27 06:36:34 PM biancosherri I agree
2019-03-27 06:36:40 PM virginiamooney Well put
2019-03-27 06:36:43 PM salinass yes
2019-03-27 06:36:46 PM cchase it comes down to their emotional and physical well being
2019-03-27 06:36:51 PM salinass educate
2019-03-27 06:36:51 PM virginiamooney True
2019-03-27 06:36:55 PM salinass yes
2019-03-27 06:37:01 PM biancosherri I agree
2019-03-27 06:37:10 PM cchase that enlightment will go a long way
2019-03-27 06:37:10 PM salinass it is a must now
2019-03-27 06:37:41 PM salinass i also think giving out specail treats here and there wont hurt either
2019-03-27 06:37:44 PM biancosherri Yes you are all right and I hope things change
2019-03-27 06:37:57 PM cchase bribes??
2019-03-27 06:38:08 PM virginiamooney Bribery. If you feed them, they will come! lol
2019-03-27 06:38:10 PM biancosherri They do work lol
2019-03-27 06:38:17 PM salinass yes
2019-03-27 06:38:21 PM cchase hmmmm
2019-03-27 06:38:25 PM salinass and make it a game though
2019-03-27 06:38:30 PM biancosherri haha
2019-03-27 06:38:36 PM virginiamooney (lol)
2019-03-27 06:38:38 PM cchase ({)
2019-03-27 06:39:07 PM cchase guess all is fair in love and war
2019-03-27 06:39:08 PM biancosherri Wait are we talking about staff or residents?
2019-03-27 06:39:24 PM cchase he..he what are you talking about??
2019-03-27 06:39:24 PM virginiamooney All the above?
2019-03-27 06:39:44 PM biancosherri Omg you guys are too funny
2019-03-27 06:39:54 PM salinass the one thing that our CNAs have always told us, was that they always feel unapprieciated. That we, the activity staff, were the only ones to give them.
2019-03-27 06:40:00 PM cchase the engagement is the key when you do an inservice
2019-03-27 06:40:06 PM salinass it would lift the their moral
2019-03-27 06:40:13 PM virginiamooney totally!
2019-03-27 06:40:17 PM cchase keeping folks engaged & present in the moment
2019-03-27 06:40:22 PM salinass yes it is
2019-03-27 06:40:24 PM virginiamooney yes
2019-03-27 06:40:29 PM biancosherri True
2019-03-27 06:41:16 PM cchase unfortunately the division of responsibilities was effective days past but no longer is efficient
2019-03-27 06:41:32 PM biancosherri I think so too
2019-03-27 06:41:38 PM cchase I have everyone cross train
2019-03-27 06:41:45 PM salinass did i lose yall again?
2019-03-27 06:41:49 PM virginiamooney I love cross training
2019-03-27 06:42:04 PM biancosherri That is a great idea
2019-03-27 06:42:07 PM cchase activities help out with ADL's as the CNA's help out with activities
2019-03-27 06:42:29 PM salinass left the chat room
2019-03-27 06:42:31 PM cchase I feel like I just wrote some type of code with all the letters.

2019-03-27 06:44:59 PM salinass i am sorry
2019-03-27 06:45:21 PM biancosherri Yes call lights here too
2019-03-27 06:45:37 PM cchase so when CNA's say they do not get help - be sure to mention that you are not allowed but you would if you could
2019-03-27 06:45:50 PM salinass that is what i tell them
2019-03-27 06:45:56 PM virginiamooney Yes, same here.
2019-03-27 06:46:08 PM biancosherri They know that but that does not help
2019-03-27 06:46:36 PM salinass what i have learned is that we just have to work togehter as much as we can
2019-03-27 06:46:38 PM cchase I have a feeling that will change with regs in time

2019-03-27 06:47:41 PM salinass yes, just like my interent needs to work with me right now. lol
