2019-07-17 06:02:53 PM ruthiesister i live in the catskills of up stae ny
2019-07-17 06:03:06 PM ruthiesister state
2019-07-17 06:03:47 PM ruthiesister so what kind of facility
2019-07-17 06:03:54 PM ruthiesister do you work at
2019-07-17 06:04:36 PM augvel We are a small rural hospital that started swing bed about 1 1/2 yrs ago
2019-07-17 06:05:23 PM augvel We have a population of about 9,000 but we are a Interstate 10 and we get a lot of travelers
2019-07-17 06:05:30 PM ruthiesister so we are comrades . i work in a rarul hosp also
2019-07-17 06:05:43 PM ruthiesister how many beds are you
2019-07-17 06:05:59 PM augvel Most of our swing bed patients have a surgery in a larger city and the family wants them swing bed close to home
2019-07-17 06:06:34 PM ruthiesister yep we get a lot of that too and a lot of patient we have had before
2019-07-17 06:06:48 PM augvel I believe we have 30 beds but average about 9 patients a day
2019-07-17 06:07:03 PM ruthiesister i work in a 16 bed hosp
2019-07-17 06:07:41 PM augvel I just started in January and it was as discharge planner and then swing bed
2019-07-17 06:07:56 PM ruthiesister and how do you like it
2019-07-17 06:08:09 PM augvel Since I was hired they created a new position for the swing bed coordinator
2019-07-17 06:08:33 PM ruthiesister now do you plan the activities also
2019-07-17 06:08:42 PM augvel Basically they had the Utilization Review also perform double duties as swing bed coordinator
2019-07-17 06:09:37 PM augvel When I first started we didn't have a formal assessment until we had a review of the hospital.
2019-07-17 06:10:11 PM augvel I now perform the assessments and both the coordinator and I facilitate the activities.
2019-07-17 06:10:24 PM ruthiesister and how do you like it
2019-07-17 06:11:19 PM augvel We are taking this class to be in compliance as none of us are certified as activity directors. I like it because we can do a better job planning and planning appropriate meaningful activities
2019-07-17 06:12:02 PM ruthiesister so what do you feel are some of the challenges
2019-07-17 06:12:05 PM augvel We didn't rank their preferences prior, and would randomly elect activities the patient identified
2019-07-17 06:12:48 PM augvel the immediate challege is physical therapy, and planning at a time the patient would prefer.
2019-07-17 06:13:09 PM augvel In addition, we do not have an activities area
2019-07-17 06:13:37 PM augvel The med surg director and I have been looking at an area we hope to convert to an activities area
2019-07-17 06:14:29 PM augvel This would be good for self directed activities and for planned activities. This will also provide easier access for all staff to certain activities materials
2019-07-17 06:14:34 PM ruthiesister oo that is tough we have a solarium and we have therapy and activities in the same large room which helps .
2019-07-17 06:15:07 PM ruthiesister one half is therapy and the other my space ,
2019-07-17 06:15:28 PM augvel Currently we do a lot of 1-1 in their rooms. The few times we have used the common area for all, the patients feel embarrased they are out in the open
2019-07-17 06:16:27 PM augvel Basically, we are building our program and slowly trying to build up materials for activities. Unfortunately, this was not in the budget.
2019-07-17 06:16:42 PM ruthiesister that why a common place where they do therapy and activities they can see each other and all feel like they are in the same boat and it help me get patient involved in act
2019-07-17 06:17:18 PM ruthiesister i get a lot of supplies from staff i send our emails , and i also ask my community
2019-07-17 06:18:31 PM augvel I do need to reach out to staff and get books and other materials donated
2019-07-17 06:19:19 PM ruthiesister and ialso encourage patient to join me for lunch in the solarium so we can sit and eat and all talk together it helps break the ice with a lot of that ,
2019-07-17 06:19:29 PM augvel I usually reach out to staff for bus ticket assistance, I'm sure they will be willing to donate items they may not need or use at home
2019-07-17 06:20:07 PM augvel That is great to build relationships
2019-07-17 06:20:20 PM ruthiesister yea i ask my staff all the time for things and my community , churchs , and groups
2019-07-17 06:20:26 PM ruthiesister they love to help
2019-07-17 06:21:14 PM ruthiesister we also have a garden where we have plant veggie and flowers , so we can go outside and help with the garden water the plants,
2019-07-17 06:21:25 PM augvel Yes, we need to reach out to the community
2019-07-17 06:21:54 PM ruthiesister and we get to eat what we grow which the patients love ,
2019-07-17 06:22:33 PM ruthiesister today we cut kale and make kale chips with the kitchen and had it with our lunch
2019-07-17 06:22:57 PM augvel We have a garden but we need to request a dedicated space
2019-07-17 06:23:11 PM ruthiesister we have lots of farmer so it's really helps
2019-07-17 06:24:10 PM augvel Dietary is one location we have not utilized. I always felt that was more of a nursing home activity, but I guess I just need to reach out to them when we have patients that really enjoy cooking or baking.
2019-07-17 06:24:20 PM ruthiesister the ladies love to work in the flower beds , and we get them outside for some fresh air and more talking and getting to know each other and they love to talk about what they did for a living
2019-07-17 06:24:33 PM augvel They are at our IDT meetings so it can be accomplished
2019-07-17 06:25:03 PM ruthiesister yea our too , we also use a team approach
2019-07-17 06:25:20 PM augvel We had 100 degree weather, so moring is the best for the gardening.
2019-07-17 06:25:51 PM ruthiesister do you work with any organization in your community
2019-07-17 06:26:18 PM augvel The Lions Club and Rotary Club and the Knights of Columbus
2019-07-17 06:26:40 PM augvel However, we need to do a better job of getting involved with the community
2019-07-17 06:27:17 PM ruthiesister good because i try to tell activitiy people in swb ,, that before a patient came to you they where part of the community and you need to keep them as part of the community
