2020-04-01 06:07:37 PM torijarrett We have an Alxheimer's unit at my facility. My gma was just diagnosed with it a few weeks ago

2020-04-01 06:08:48 PM torijarrett My gma is doing well so far...except being cooped up at home right now!
2020-04-01 06:09:05 PM cchase dementia is a symptom of Alzheimer's but it is also a symptom of other diseases
2020-04-01 06:09:05 PM flossie awww bless her heart!

2020-04-01 06:09:35 PM flossie My gma is a homebody but she doesn't like that I'm not coming over. Lots of Facetimes with her..

2020-04-01 06:09:50 PM cchase that is the right thing to do... in light of this virus tori
2020-04-01 06:10:01 PM torijarrett I don't think my gma would understand facetime
2020-04-01 06:10:07 PM cchase good that she does facetime
2020-04-01 06:10:18 PM angelaawaters Hello
2020-04-01 06:10:21 PM flossie She lives with my parents so they are able to help her with it
2020-04-01 06:10:33 PM torijarrett ahh that's nice
2020-04-01 06:10:40 PM cchase yes - facetime is strange to the older ones
2020-04-01 06:10:45 PM flossie yes!
2020-04-01 06:11:01 PM flossie LOL! One of my residents is havin a hard time with it
2020-04-01 06:11:03 PM angelaawaters I am doing Skype at my facility
2020-04-01 06:11:14 PM angelaawaters Talk about old
2020-04-01 06:11:15 PM flossie his family keep telling him they don't wanna see his nose hairs! LOL
2020-04-01 06:11:25 PM torijarrett hahaha
2020-04-01 06:11:30 PM cchase I bet those things are running on overtime these days
2020-04-01 06:11:40 PM flossie he still tries to hold the phone close to his face
2020-04-01 06:11:49 PM cchase he...he -- skype is good !
2020-04-01 06:11:53 PM torijarrett haha...my parents do too!
2020-04-01 06:11:58 PM angelaawaters NOT
2020-04-01 06:12:10 PM cchase that tells you my age -- ha ha
2020-04-01 06:12:13 PM angelaawaters installation is just about !@$#
2020-04-01 06:12:31 PM angelaawaters I am up there too!
2020-04-01 06:13:09 PM angelaawaters Used years ago to keep in contact with friends from up north
2020-04-01 06:13:09 PM flossie lol
2020-04-01 06:13:21 PM cchase so one questions that I plan to discuss is the idea of touch when it comes to dementia residents
2020-04-01 06:13:29 PM angelaawaters Yes
2020-04-01 06:13:37 PM flossie I'm ready!
2020-04-01 06:13:42 PM cchase ok
2020-04-01 06:14:12 PM cchase so the natural process of the disease often leads the resident to seek physical contact.
2020-04-01 06:14:29 PM angelaawaters Touch?
2020-04-01 06:14:48 PM cchase yes - like hugging
2020-04-01 06:14:53 PM cchase holding hands
2020-04-01 06:15:07 PM flossie That makes sense. One of our non-verbal residents loves to hold your hand and stroll the facility
2020-04-01 06:15:21 PM torijarrett Yes! My two resident's we call them boyfriend and girlfriend. They walk around holding hands all the time
2020-04-01 06:15:22 PM flossie She holds loves holding onto a baby doll (L)
2020-04-01 06:15:27 PM angelaawaters Agreed, but not allowed to do this at this time. We are elbow bumping
2020-04-01 06:15:39 PM cchase there you go...that's part of the solution
2020-04-01 06:15:56 PM cchase try to transfer the touch need to an object like a doll
2020-04-01 06:16:06 PM flossie (L)
2020-04-01 06:16:07 PM cchase something you can disinfect
2020-04-01 06:16:10 PM angelaawaters Very stressfull for residents not to touch
2020-04-01 06:16:22 PM cchase good going flossie
2020-04-01 06:16:57 PM flossie Thank you! I was blessed to get some baby doll donations to my facility and she literally held that baby doll for a week straight it seemed.
2020-04-01 06:17:17 PM flossie She has a specific one she likes too!
2020-04-01 06:17:19 PM cchase the thing is that these resident have an innate ability to pickup on stress
2020-04-01 06:17:43 PM flossie aww :(
2020-04-01 06:17:45 PM cchase and ofcourse the lot of us are feeling a little stressed these days
2020-04-01 06:17:45 PM angelaawaters Agreed very upset and disorientated
2020-04-01 06:18:00 PM cchase it is amazing how they sense it
2020-04-01 06:18:03 PM flossie yes!
2020-04-01 06:18:20 PM cchase so if you're upset they will feel the vibe
2020-04-01 06:18:32 PM angelaawaters For residents who don't get up, other than music or TV, any suggestions?
2020-04-01 06:18:44 PM cchase same if you're happy which is a good thing
2020-04-01 06:19:10 PM angelaawaters Dimensia, no reading, coloring, etc. I am tyring to find alternatives.
2020-04-01 06:19:29 PM cchase I see so much engagement when opportunities are given that let them be nuturing
2020-04-01 06:19:51 PM cchase try the dolls angela
2020-04-01 06:20:08 PM cchase try large pictures of babies - that is very effective
2020-04-01 06:20:27 PM cchase I have played youtube - anything on laughing babies
2020-04-01 06:20:33 PM angelaawaters OK, pics I get!

2020-04-01 06:21:30 PM torijarrett Hi!
2020-04-01 06:21:38 PM angelaawaters Like TUtube ideas
2020-04-01 06:21:59 PM angelaawaters yes in FLorida
2020-04-01 06:22:07 PM cchase some facilities are able to do overhead audio while they hear it it their rooms
2020-04-01 06:22:14 PM cak06008 cchase So sorry I am late! I had a hard time finding the forum.
2020-04-01 06:22:26 PM angelaawaters I would love that, but not available
2020-04-01 06:22:38 PM flossie We have overhead audio but it's not in the residents rooms.
2020-04-01 06:22:43 PM angelaawaters I found it hard to find the forum too
2020-04-01 06:22:46 PM torijarrett Our patients can't seem to hear the intercom in their rooms
2020-04-01 06:22:55 PM cchase glad you made the effort and found us
2020-04-01 06:23:10 PM cak06008 cchase as am i.
2020-04-01 06:23:12 PM angelaawaters Us too. Can't hear the speakers
2020-04-01 06:23:33 PM cchase geesh that's more of a challenge
2020-04-01 06:23:34 PM angelaawaters More for the staff then the residents
2020-04-01 06:23:40 PM cak06008 we have overheard music, but it is either too quiet or too loud
2020-04-01 06:23:42 PM torijarrett We did get a littlel bluetooth speaker for each station though and that seems to help a little
2020-04-01 06:23:58 PM cchase how about the old kareoke speaker
2020-04-01 06:24:04 PM cak06008 i have to request the building to turn down the music in one of our rooms to do yoga and meditation
2020-04-01 06:24:09 PM angelaawaters I was thinking about buying a blue tooth speaker.
2020-04-01 06:24:29 PM cchase yes that blue tooth is good
2020-04-01 06:24:30 PM angelaawaters I used the Kareoke speaker today
2020-04-01 06:24:44 PM torijarrett We don't have a speaker like that
2020-04-01 06:24:45 PM cak06008 we also have a portable, battery changed speaker.
2020-04-01 06:24:48 PM angelaawaters But love the ideas of YTube
2020-04-01 06:24:50 PM cak06008 it is fabulous
2020-04-01 06:24:59 PM cchase hey cak - sometimes loud music will cause behavior problems
2020-04-01 06:25:08 PM cchase it can be agitating
2020-04-01 06:25:15 PM angelaawaters true
2020-04-01 06:25:34 PM cak06008 i agree with you. some residents had a very hard time listening to Christmas music
2020-04-01 06:25:44 PM cak06008 (reminds them of being home)
2020-04-01 06:25:46 PM cchase one facility uses 6 ft tables... to keep the distance for crafting and such
2020-04-01 06:25:57 PM torijarrett oh smart idea
2020-04-01 06:26:10 PM flossie I have an app that they LOVE... I couldn't get anyone to agree on music until i started playing calm radio.
2020-04-01 06:26:20 PM cchase yup they are complying with the 6 ft apart rule
2020-04-01 06:26:24 PM angelaawaters We are thinking about taking residents for short walks out to the gazebo
2020-04-01 06:26:30 PM flossie I would play it in the activity room every day. They loved it.
2020-04-01 06:26:48 PM cchase music can calm or can cause havic
2020-04-01 06:27:06 PM torijarrett We are thinking about taking the residents out to our courtyards for easter egg hunts 6ft rule with roommates
2020-04-01 06:27:07 PM cchase like I mentioned they pick up on the vibe
2020-04-01 06:27:22 PM cchase that is often the best means of communicaton for them
2020-04-01 06:27:50 PM angelaawaters How do you do indiviual activites with 130 residents and one staff person?
2020-04-01 06:28:05 PM cchase we had the rule that you leave your troubles outside the unit when you walk in
2020-04-01 06:28:10 PM cak06008 one of my residents is over a hundred years old. she cannot see. but oh boy, if you bring her music on an ipod. she LOVES it
2020-04-01 06:28:13 PM flossie good rule
2020-04-01 06:28:24 PM torijarrett awwe!
2020-04-01 06:28:38 PM cchase angela - I do hope the entire staff not just activity dept. helps
2020-04-01 06:29:01 PM cchase regulations stipulate that all staff members are suppose to be part of activities
2020-04-01 06:29:15 PM flossie Thats nice to know
2020-04-01 06:29:36 PM cchase so you are NOT a lone man on the island
2020-04-01 06:29:37 PM torijarrett Our CNAs are afraid of getting in trouble for helping us
2020-04-01 06:29:41 PM cak06008 i get minimal help, and asked a lot of favors from aides and nurses.
2020-04-01 06:29:43 PM angelaawaters I am having to go to my administartor tomorrow. Got off a webinar got the same with NCCAP. No, the staff think I do nothing but Bingo and I am not doing a thing
2020-04-01 06:29:47 PM flossie I spend a lot of time just trying to get residents to activities
2020-04-01 06:30:01 PM cchase not so...surveyors will love to see those CNA 's helping
2020-04-01 06:30:17 PM flossie So would I! lol
2020-04-01 06:30:21 PM angelaawaters exactly TEAM WORK!
2020-04-01 06:30:38 PM torijarrett They're afraid of the DON
2020-04-01 06:31:04 PM cchase find the regulation and post it in the nursing station or get your administrator on board
2020-04-01 06:31:18 PM flossie good idea
2020-04-01 06:31:36 PM angelaawaters I heard today there is a statement on NCCAP that everyone is supposed to be involed.
2020-04-01 06:31:46 PM angelaawaters I will be looking for it in the moring
2020-04-01 06:31:58 PM cchase don is unfortunately incorrect...get those regs. to him/her
2020-04-01 06:32:23 PM angelaawaters Great
2020-04-01 06:32:39 PM cchase angela - NCCAP supports the regs. and yes... all are suppose to help
2020-04-01 06:32:41 PM angelaawaters DON always say they are short staffed
2020-04-01 06:32:55 PM torijarrett Same
2020-04-01 06:32:59 PM cchase likely they are short staffed in these times
2020-04-01 06:33:17 PM cak06008 i think a lot of the staff are just overwhelmed right now.
2020-04-01 06:33:28 PM cchase but one person and 130 residents is pushing it -
2020-04-01 06:33:37 PM angelaawaters THanks, I will look tommow and post these regs for everyone to see, Not just CNA, Nurse, but housekeeping etc. everyone
2020-04-01 06:33:45 PM angelaawaters I KNOW!
2020-04-01 06:33:46 PM cchase agreed cak but do you know something?
2020-04-01 06:34:45 PM cchase angela - I suggest you speak to your administrator as they would not want a surveyor to catch that
2020-04-01 06:35:10 PM cak06008 i know that we need to be a better team
2020-04-01 06:35:26 PM cchase speaking of which... many of the standard surveys if not most aside from infection control inspections are on hold for the time being
2020-04-01 06:35:27 PM angelaawaters Really? Where do I find info? I would like too.
2020-04-01 06:36:07 PM cchase CMS has put much out there - everyday
2020-04-01 06:36:08 PM angelaawaters that is all I am hearing in Florida. Infection control
2020-04-01 06:36:10 PM cak06008 i have a concern.
2020-04-01 06:36:22 PM cchase what is your concern cak
2020-04-01 06:37:10 PM cchase surveyors will continue to watch out for infection control now that makes sense
2020-04-01 06:37:12 PM cak06008 everyone is supposed to stay in their own room, to stop the spread of germs. but staff goes room to room, likily, spreading many germs.
2020-04-01 06:37:56 PM torijarrett Our residents are allowed in the hallways keeping 6ft apart
2020-04-01 06:38:03 PM cchase if staff is wearing PPE and appropriately down new in between resident visits they are covered
2020-04-01 06:38:15 PM angelaawaters I agree. No residents allowed to do anything, but we are supposed to provide activities so they don't have social anxiety?
2020-04-01 06:38:44 PM cchase are you checked as a staff member when you arrive at work for a temp?
2020-04-01 06:38:57 PM angelaawaters In florida, yes
