2020-05-06 06:39:46 PM tracichambers which is why sometimes you have to keep them in a safe place where they can't harm themselves.:'(
2020-05-06 06:39:51 PM cchase perhaps - you can ask them to help you with something?
2020-05-06 06:39:52 PM jenniferslockbower yes, know your residents. And take mental note of what works and what doesn't with them

2020-05-06 06:40:39 PM cchase this is also why you have to watch your own emotions
2020-05-06 06:40:52 PM cchase they pick up on what you are feeling
2020-05-06 06:40:57 PM mmclean Redirect. I have found it helpful to listen to them even if it doesn't make sense to you, because it does to them.
2020-05-06 06:41:07 PM elaine They pick up on others being annoyed
2020-05-06 06:41:10 PM teresabradley yes, if you show any frustration of negative it makes it worse
2020-05-06 06:41:29 PM cchase yes - good mmclean - you step into their world what ever it may be so long as they are safe
2020-05-06 06:41:36 PM tracichambers the first day i started i found out a friend i hadn't seen in years was in the memory unit where i work. i had to step out

2020-05-06 06:41:45 PM cchase yup they pick up like crazy
2020-05-06 06:41:54 PM jenniferslockbower also be aware of your own body language. hands on hips or arms crossed over chest can seem different to them
2020-05-06 06:42:08 PM cchase they forget what they just said so they say it again
2020-05-06 06:42:24 PM cchase you do not remind them that they already told you
2020-05-06 06:42:27 PM mclaughlinjenny just being patient and listen helps
2020-05-06 06:42:31 PM clarissam you have to a lot og patience
2020-05-06 06:42:39 PM tracichambers they make me smile alot with what they say though sometimes, and they laugh alot with me when i'm back there
2020-05-06 06:42:41 PM mmclean Patience, compassion, understand and listen. If you find you can't do it... This isn't the job for you.
2020-05-06 06:43:10 PM cchase watch out for patterns on the floor or mats
2020-05-06 06:43:22 PM careyjeff What about just going with the conversation. Even though its make believe
2020-05-06 06:43:25 PM cchase their perceptual abilities are damaged
2020-05-06 06:43:34 PM cchase a mat next to the bed is a hole
2020-05-06 06:43:42 PM cchase they will try to jump over it
2020-05-06 06:44:02 PM cchase go with the conversation so long as it is not doing harm
2020-05-06 06:44:07 PM mclaughlinjenny yes we have had to remove so black tape on the floor because of that
2020-05-06 06:44:08 PM cchase or making them upset
2020-05-06 06:44:10 PM jordanjumper agree
2020-05-06 06:44:14 PM clarissam i have a famous baseball player and he is very smart he watches everyone but he cant hold a full conversation
2020-05-06 06:44:20 PM mmclean When they have told you the same story 5 times in 7 min. Pretend it is the first time you heard it.
2020-05-06 06:44:26 PM careyjeff Whats frustating is families believe what they say
2020-05-06 06:44:32 PM cchase we paint a fake door to distract from the real door
2020-05-06 06:44:45 PM mclaughlinjenny thtas good idea
2020-05-06 06:44:51 PM mclaughlinjenny thats
2020-05-06 06:44:54 PM elaine nice idea
2020-05-06 06:45:02 PM cchase yes - families cannot be abjective in that way - which is the sadest thing
2020-05-06 06:45:08 PM clarissam no what is frustating is that family dont get educated
2020-05-06 06:45:16 PM jenniferslockbower our real doors are covered in vinyl coverings that make them not look like doors
2020-05-06 06:45:21 PM teresabradley we had that, but the new owner painted over it.
2020-05-06 06:45:24 PM careyjeff True Class
2020-05-06 06:45:27 PM cchase carpets with fancy designs stuff is no good
2020-05-06 06:45:28 PM tracichambers i have a resident whose brother died in the same nursing home she is in. she always asked to go see him, and she has his ashes. the social worker says to tell her the truth
2020-05-06 06:45:33 PM careyjeff part of denial
2020-05-06 06:45:43 PM jenniferslockbower one looks like shelves of library books, another looks like a rock wall with ivy growing on it
2020-05-06 06:45:56 PM mclaughlinjenny like ity
2020-05-06 06:46:02 PM cchase tile can be problematic... they jump over the joints - think it is a crack
2020-05-06 06:46:08 PM clarissam they dont understand that they think they are young and they try to correct them and the resident gets so upset
2020-05-06 06:46:09 PM mclaughlinjenny it cant type tonight
2020-05-06 06:46:13 PM mmclean The families are not educated beccouse they don't want to be, denial
2020-05-06 06:46:21 PM jordanjumper i have not experienced that yet
2020-05-06 06:46:26 PM cchase YOU NEVER TELL THEM that a loved one has passed
2020-05-06 06:46:32 PM cchase NEVER
2020-05-06 06:46:39 PM clarissam it kills them
2020-05-06 06:46:48 PM cchase they will relive the greif like it just happened
2020-05-06 06:47:07 PM jenniferslockbower I had a resident whose daughter told her that her husband was dead every day.
2020-05-06 06:47:11 PM mclaughlinjenny i usually say we will c all them when they get home or something like that
2020-05-06 06:47:12 PM tracichambers what do you say
2020-05-06 06:47:15 PM jenniferslockbower She grieved him every day like it was the first time
2020-05-06 06:47:19 PM mmclean Thank you cchase.
2020-05-06 06:47:20 PM cchase I had a nurse once insisted on telling them and it was a disaster
2020-05-06 06:47:35 PM cchase mmclean???
2020-05-06 06:47:44 PM clarissam families dont understand that its sad had a family tell a husband his wife died and he got so depressed she passed away 2 week later
2020-05-06 06:48:00 PM mclaughlinjenny thats horrible
2020-05-06 06:48:06 PM cchase you tell them what we call - a therapeutic fiblet
2020-05-06 06:48:21 PM mclaughlinjenny like it
2020-05-06 06:48:26 PM cchase you tell them Mary went to the store
2020-05-06 06:48:29 PM jenniferslockbower Depending on the resident, I will tell them they are at work. Or that I haven't seen them yet today but i'll let them know when I do
2020-05-06 06:48:29 PM mmclean What is that?
2020-05-06 06:48:44 PM cchase you tell them that their husband is working late
2020-05-06 06:48:58 PM cchase you tell them that the neighbor picked up the kids
2020-05-06 06:49:19 PM cchase YOU NEVER GIVE THEM A TIME
2020-05-06 06:49:39 PM cchase you never say- at three - at four etc.
2020-05-06 06:49:39 PM careyjeff When they want to get ready for work?
2020-05-06 06:49:45 PM teresabradley We don't tell them, we tell them their husbands working, or daughters at school. Not the truth of a death
2020-05-06 06:49:47 PM clarissam i have 8 couples that have alzheimer
2020-05-06 06:49:52 PM mmclean I think her family will tell her. In a most inappropriate way :(
2020-05-06 06:50:12 PM clarissam yes i have a lady she was a RN and she acts like she working the floor
2020-05-06 06:50:12 PM cchase it would be your luck that they hear someone say it's three now
2020-05-06 06:50:17 PM jenniferslockbower I have a resident that is terrified that her parents are going to get the coronavirus (she's 99) I just tell her they are safe and quarantined like the rest of us
2020-05-06 06:50:33 PM mmclean Her friend passed from covid19
2020-05-06 06:50:33 PM cchase give that former RN some forms to fill out
2020-05-06 06:50:42 PM cchase fake ones work great
2020-05-06 06:50:44 PM clarissam i do she loves it
2020-05-06 06:50:46 PM tracichambers oh wow, she thinks she's a nurse there?
2020-05-06 06:50:53 PM cchase oh sad mmclean
2020-05-06 06:50:55 PM mclaughlinjenny thats great
2020-05-06 06:51:07 PM careyjeff plumber?
2020-05-06 06:51:11 PM cchase it's about dignity
2020-05-06 06:51:17 PM cchase it's about feeling useful
2020-05-06 06:51:28 PM clarissam she push the med cart and she wears scrubs
2020-05-06 06:51:32 PM cchase they deserve that
2020-05-06 06:51:39 PM jenniferslockbower I have a nurse on my dementia unit too. She has the same name as my director of nursing, so every time they page her overhead, she thinks she's being paged
2020-05-06 06:52:12 PM cchase a plumber - I would find a few connector like sets for him to put together
2020-05-06 06:52:12 PM jenniferslockbower the unit manager would actually let her sit behind the desk with her, and fill out "paperwork"
2020-05-06 06:52:14 PM careyjeff Pipes and joints
2020-05-06 06:52:30 PM cchase yes - pvc or something like that
2020-05-06 06:52:40 PM clarissam i have a lot of teachers they get up and i have them do trivia on the whiteboard
2020-05-06 06:53:00 PM cchase perfect clarissa
2020-05-06 06:53:07 PM jenniferslockbower yes, I have pvc piping of different sizes for the electricians and plumbers on my unit
2020-05-06 06:53:10 PM careyjeff Whats you opinion on babby dolls?
2020-05-06 06:53:14 PM cchase so you see - how you can keep them engaged
2020-05-06 06:53:20 PM clarissam jeff they love babies
2020-05-06 06:53:23 PM jordanjumper anyone have a resident who was a former employee at your facility
2020-05-06 06:53:26 PM cchase baby dolls are sent down from heaven
2020-05-06 06:53:27 PM elaine We had a jeweler who gave people adfvise and fixed their broken items
2020-05-06 06:53:34 PM tracichambers yes
2020-05-06 06:53:39 PM mclaughlinjenny baby dolls work great
2020-05-06 06:53:48 PM cchase they bring out the caring and love
2020-05-06 06:53:49 PM mmclean If we can keep her engaged and re direct her I think she will be alright.
2020-05-06 06:53:49 PM clarissam i let my resident do what they want i just go with the flow
2020-05-06 06:53:51 PM careyjeff I have a former nurse that at my facility
2020-05-06 06:54:10 PM cchase yup - this is how it works for this population
2020-05-06 06:54:14 PM jenniferslockbower Memory dolls are a beautiful thing. Just make sure it's resident centered. Not everyone is going to respond to a doll, you don't want to just be sticking them in everyone's arms
2020-05-06 06:54:15 PM careyjeff that was a nurse at my facility
2020-05-06 06:54:20 PM tracichambers should i get my resident a baby that is asking where hers is?
2020-05-06 06:54:31 PM clarissam i bring my children and they love it so i get a lot of young kids to dance or play the piano they love it
2020-05-06 06:54:39 PM clarissam it bring back memories
2020-05-06 06:54:45 PM elaine i acknowledge my resident for taking such good care of her babies and being a good mom
2020-05-06 06:55:00 PM mclaughlinjenny baby doll good idea
2020-05-06 06:55:01 PM cchase we had a stuffed puppy - it had a battery and looked like it was sleeping. it's tummy would move in and out like breathing
2020-05-06 06:55:03 PM careyjeff Document it for dignity
2020-05-06 06:55:05 PM cchase they loved him
2020-05-06 06:55:07 PM jordanjumper i have a resident who used to be cna at my facility, she still thinks she works there, even tries to answer call lights and direct residents around
2020-05-06 06:55:08 PM tracichambers thats a good idea elaine
2020-05-06 06:55:17 PM cchase yes document document document
2020-05-06 06:55:29 PM cchase if you don't write it down - it didn't happen
2020-05-06 06:55:36 PM careyjeff same with coloring books
2020-05-06 06:55:49 PM elaine like the puppy, a family member brought it one years ago that jumped and did tricks
2020-05-06 06:55:59 PM careyjeff and even watching cartoons
2020-05-06 06:56:09 PM jenniferslockbower also embrace what it is to them. Some residents will think it's a real baby, so treat it as such. don't hold it by it's leg. Others will know its not real but it still brings them joy
2020-05-06 06:56:11 PM clarissam i had a lady that had a cat and her batteries died and she was screaming to call the ambulance
2020-05-06 06:56:26 PM cchase also had a bunch of similar ones that were christmas like a singing snowman
2020-05-06 06:56:38 PM cchase he danced about sining let it snow
2020-05-06 06:56:44 PM cchase they love them
2020-05-06 06:57:02 PM cchase yes jennifer very good point
2020-05-06 06:57:08 PM clarissam i bring them alot of toys my kids out grow they love it
2020-05-06 06:57:22 PM cchase just imagine someone grabbing the baby by it's leg like that
2020-05-06 06:57:24 PM cchase terrible
2020-05-06 06:57:48 PM cchase so what are you all going to do?
2020-05-06 06:57:48 PM jenniferslockbower some of the CNA's do that, and it drives me crazy
2020-05-06 06:57:56 PM careyjeff How do yall get your cnas and other staff to buy in and help?
2020-05-06 06:58:00 PM mmclean I have discovered documentation is everything. Don't just document what they do but what they refuse as well, at least it was offered.
2020-05-06 06:58:19 PM mclaughlinjenny yes always even if they refuse
2020-05-06 06:58:24 PM cchase jeff - regulations state that ALL staff is responsible for activities
2020-05-06 06:58:40 PM jordanjumper yes sometimes i feel as if i document more than i do anything lol
2020-05-06 06:58:45 PM careyjeff I know . But reality
2020-05-06 06:58:46 PM cchase my nurses did health education, social worker did support groups. etc.
2020-05-06 06:59:03 PM cchase it is a reality- if the surveryor spots that
2020-05-06 06:59:04 PM clarissam in reality we are on are own
2020-05-06 06:59:11 PM cchase it's a defficiency
2020-05-06 06:59:18 PM jordanjumper left the chat room
2020-05-06 06:59:18 PM jordanjumper enter the chat room
2020-05-06 06:59:28 PM mmclean I have a lot of residents that need sensory stim, what are your thoughts?
2020-05-06 06:59:31 PM jordanjumper awesome
2020-05-06 06:59:31 PM careyjeff Yup mosstly on my own
2020-05-06 06:59:33 PM mclaughlinjenny tell the cna s that they still dont tink so
2020-05-06 06:59:37 PM cchase post the regulations for all to see...or give it to your admin
2020-05-06 07:00:02 PM clarissam they dont care i always bring it up to mine she think we are complaing
2020-05-06 07:00:13 PM careyjeff They help with parties and social but thats it really
2020-05-06 07:00:17 PM clarissam complaining
2020-05-06 07:00:20 PM cchase you cannot tell the cna's what to do but they report to a nurse and that is a person that should get you help
2020-05-06 07:00:37 PM cchase they would care if admin was on it
2020-05-06 07:01:14 PM clarissam some admin dont care tho they dont even get out there office
2020-05-06 07:01:26 PM tracichambers i read about that and they are supposed to help us, i just hate to ask because they have such a load themselves. however, when they help me it gives them a short break with thsoe residents
2020-05-06 07:01:30 PM careyjeff Our management staff helps more than the line staff
2020-05-06 07:01:32 PM mclaughlinjenny same here clarissa

2020-05-20 06:03:57 PM elaine NSNCW was busy. missed having the chats last week.
2020-05-20 06:04:12 PM camcam96 doing pretty well thanks for asking
2020-05-20 06:04:32 PM ruthiesister so what did you guy do for nhw
2020-05-20 06:05:03 PM 123sharonj hello everyone
2020-05-20 06:05:25 PM camcam96 my facility is shut down, so we didn't do anything
2020-05-20 06:05:45 PM elaine Car Parade, Sharing wisdom boards/photos/video, scavenger hunt, music/dancing, picnic trivia
2020-05-20 06:05:58 PM ruthiesister wow you did a lot ,,
2020-05-20 06:06:35 PM ruthiesister so for those that are still in insolation , did you do anything for your patients in there room
2020-05-20 06:06:41 PM elaine we plan a major event for residents everyday plus feeding staff
2020-05-20 06:07:01 PM camcam96 my facility has been working on creating a virtual activity program
2020-05-20 06:07:45 PM elaine eveeything is done room to room, we have 2 residents in a room, sometimes the 2 or 3 rooms beside each other can participate from their doors
2020-05-20 06:08:37 PM ruthiesister so everyone works in a long term care , do any of you have a swingbed program also in you place
2020-05-20 06:08:43 PM elaine how would the virtual program look?
2020-05-20 06:09:07 PM ruthiesister or short term rehab
2020-05-20 06:09:22 PM 123sharonj I work at an adult day care no beds
2020-05-20 06:09:51 PM elaine we don't have any swing beds, but it would have been helpful with the new admissions and isolations for possible covid
2020-05-20 06:10:49 PM camcam96 we use zoom to conduct the program and then engage in various activities like virtual travelling/virtual field trips, trivia, playing games, and we have had live music from a musician and a pastor come on as well
2020-05-20 06:10:52 PM 123sharonj we have been doing cooking shows, we had animal day to day and weve been taking virtual trips playing games all kinds of things on zoom.com
2020-05-20 06:10:56 PM elaine Our rehab wing has 22 beds and if some were swing bed they could have been full
2020-05-20 06:11:51 PM 123sharonj theres so much you canprovide on zoom
2020-05-20 06:11:54 PM ruthiesister oo that sound like great ways to keep patients busy
2020-05-20 06:12:40 PM ruthiesister how does that work with pt that are hard of hearing or poor eye site
2020-05-20 06:12:43 PM camcam96 it has a lot of potential, but there have also been a lot of struggles getting people on it
2020-05-20 06:13:02 PM elaine I've only done zoom calls. Is everything else you do free?
2020-05-20 06:14:23 PM elaine Our management meetings are on zoom, but the 2 people with the mics are the only ones you can understand. Everyone else sounds like a Charlie Brown teacher.
2020-05-20 06:14:39 PM ruthiesister lol
2020-05-20 06:15:01 PM camcam96 There is a closed captioning option on zoom. those that are hard of hearing can have special programs downloaded to their computers that are easier to see
2020-05-20 06:15:42 PM elaine That's a nice feature
2020-05-20 06:16:01 PM ruthiesister i use zoom once a week when we do our swingbed meetings with the patient and the hole team ,, i do it on my phone and go room to rm ,, we found it was easier then trying to set up each phone on the phone ,
2020-05-20 06:16:53 PM ruthiesister most of my pt come from a hospital to my hospital so lot of them don't have much when they come to us
2020-05-20 06:16:55 PM 123sharonj thats a good idea
2020-05-20 06:17:14 PM ruthiesister and most of them are pretty sick when we get them ,
2020-05-20 06:17:33 PM ruthiesister now you any of you have cases of covid in your building
2020-05-20 06:17:51 PM camcam96 no
2020-05-20 06:17:59 PM elaine a couple close calls, but no
2020-05-20 06:18:33 PM 123sharonj we have none of our members with covid
2020-05-20 06:18:41 PM ruthiesister i was out for 3 wks because we had a pt come that know one knew she had it until a week later
2020-05-20 06:19:17 PM elaine We had to do full PPE for a few days last week, because someone had 3 tests
