2020-05-27 06:19:01 PM elaine I have seen some interesting looking one's on the website.
2020-05-27 06:19:31 PM cchase I have a few certifications coming up for renewal. two of which require 40 CEU
2020-05-27 06:19:35 PM cchase s
2020-05-27 06:20:18 PM elaine I paid for one and then the person sponsoring it took it off, but they said I could apply the money to another topic.
2020-05-27 06:20:51 PM cchase AC-BC, & ACC require 40 and CDP needs 10 dementia specific CEU's
2020-05-27 06:21:01 PM elaine 40 is a lot of work
2020-05-27 06:21:39 PM cchase you might look into NAAP - if you become a member - CEU webinars are free\ well worth it
2020-05-27 06:22:07 PM cchase membership is around $75 ?? I think
2020-05-27 06:22:11 PM elaine good to know
2020-05-27 06:22:47 PM cchase you can take as many as you need - I attend a minimum of two per week (1 CEU) each
2020-05-27 06:23:22 PM cchase ok so what do you know about Adult Day Health??
2020-05-27 06:23:27 PM elaine sounds like a good idea
2020-05-27 06:24:07 PM elaine No beds, people come during the day, do programs
2020-05-27 06:24:32 PM cchase yes - that is true
2020-05-27 06:24:50 PM cchase there is a social model - more like a senior center
2020-05-27 06:25:08 PM cchase and there is a medical model - more like a daytime LTC
2020-05-27 06:25:35 PM elaine so it is one or the other or can it be both
2020-05-27 06:25:53 PM cchase one or the other usually
2020-05-27 06:26:28 PM cchase medical model ctrs. have RN's. CNA's social workers, PT, and more
2020-05-27 06:26:37 PM elaine when it's social they don't give meds or toileting, etc.
2020-05-27 06:27:11 PM cchase while the social model does not - have the same staff but they can be certified to give meds and toilet
2020-05-27 06:27:57 PM elaine what can the social model do that asenior center can't
2020-05-27 06:28:03 PM cchase social model pts. tend to be mobile and still get themselves around
2020-05-27 06:28:30 PM cchase just about the same - trips, crafts, musical events
2020-05-27 06:28:51 PM elaine so only the certication may differ?
2020-05-27 06:29:02 PM cchase they like to do fund raisers - or organize food drives for other seniors in the local area
2020-05-27 06:29:31 PM elaine that's nice
2020-05-27 06:29:51 PM elaine do they have a resident board and meetings?
2020-05-27 06:30:01 PM cchase certification in social models to give meds, and toilet but senior ctrs. do not necessarily toilet or give meds
2020-05-27 06:30:36 PM cchase yes - they do meet similar to std. resident council
2020-05-27 06:31:14 PM cchase senior ctrs do alot of holiday events... they often have singing groups that travel to do events
2020-05-27 06:31:40 PM elaine Are the social centers still closed or have they been opening with limitations?
2020-05-27 06:31:44 PM cchase a medical model day ctr. is like a daytime LTC ctr without the beds
2020-05-27 06:32:27 PM cchase CMS - just recently sent updated regs. on the terms and conditions of opening LTC centers
2020-05-27 06:32:43 PM elaine mostly 9-5 ish?
2020-05-27 06:32:58 PM cchase you will find my post about that in upcoming Help Desk newsletter

2020-05-27 06:34:25 PM elaine Most of the participants live with family right?
2020-05-27 06:34:34 PM cchase yes correct
2020-05-27 06:34:56 PM cchase they stay with us until families run into problems at night
2020-05-27 06:35:39 PM cchase like when they walk around and are up all night
2020-05-27 06:36:08 PM cchase families will consider LTC or assisted living
2020-05-27 06:36:15 PM elaine Then they are moved to a facility where they stay 24/7
2020-05-27 06:36:24 PM cchase yes
2020-05-27 06:36:54 PM cchase we term this as "aging in place"
2020-05-27 06:36:58 PM elaine do you ever get to visit them when they move on?
2020-05-27 06:37:06 PM cchase meaning they age while living at home
2020-05-27 06:38:04 PM cchase a few - I did go to see as the families became good friends of mine
2020-05-27 06:38:26 PM elaine How long have you been doing activities related jobs?
2020-05-27 06:38:39 PM cchase too many years to admit
2020-05-27 06:39:07 PM elaine All different types of facilities?
2020-05-27 06:39:09 PM cchase Ia long long time
2020-05-27 06:39:46 PM elaine What do you think has changed the most over the years?
2020-05-27 06:40:05 PM cchase I worked LTC for a number of years - then continued to earn other certifications and started working in adult day
2020-05-27 06:40:14 PM cchase regulations
2020-05-27 06:40:38 PM cchase easy answer - more standardized care across the board
2020-05-27 06:40:52 PM cchase come adult day ctrs. were being held in church basements
2020-05-27 06:41:05 PM elaine stricter and more resident related?
2020-05-27 06:41:05 PM cchase lacked stds of care
2020-05-27 06:41:33 PM cchase yes - but the regs keep everyone on the same page with the same level of care
2020-05-27 06:41:57 PM cchase it has also become an issue of documentation
2020-05-27 06:42:20 PM cchase keeping records, etc.
2020-05-27 06:42:37 PM elaine They say if it's not written it didn't happen

2020-05-27 06:43:14 PM cchase lol
2020-05-27 06:43:22 PM elaine I'm not a fast typist so documentation takes me a while
2020-05-27 06:44:05 PM cchase many facilites are using centralized software systems to make documentation easier and faster
2020-05-27 06:44:55 PM elaine They are rolling out an activities section like the CNAs do for daily living tasks
2020-05-27 06:44:56 PM cchase it also help to facilitate electronic transmission of health records to Drs. and to the state for reimbursement of services

2020-06-03 06:08:14 PM cchase does anyone know how long Alz ccan be messing around in the brain before it becomes evident that it is active?
2020-06-03 06:08:15 PM mnissenbaum memory los, challenges in solving problems, etc... there are some of the signs
2020-06-03 06:08:36 PM jjmiller227 can be years
2020-06-03 06:08:53 PM mnissenbaum i agree with jjmiler
2020-06-03 06:09:02 PM cchase correct -how many years??
2020-06-03 06:09:13 PM jjmiller227 sometimes 5 or more
2020-06-03 06:09:30 PM mnissenbaum 3-5
2020-06-03 06:09:39 PM cchase the estimated avg. in 7 to 10 years
2020-06-03 06:09:46 PM mnissenbaum omg
2020-06-03 06:10:07 PM cchase meaning that - it's been brewing for awhile before it gives itself away
2020-06-03 06:10:16 PM mnissenbaum its sad to see my residents like that
2020-06-03 06:10:20 PM cchase what is it doing to the brain?
2020-06-03 06:10:39 PM jjmiller227 neuron connections are dying
2020-06-03 06:10:59 PM mnissenbaum deteriorated
2020-06-03 06:11:00 PM clarissam enter the chat room
2020-06-03 06:11:01 PM cchase kinda true
2020-06-03 06:11:17 PM cchase neuron connections fail to communicate
2020-06-03 06:11:39 PM cchase with each other - so they cannot send messages/instructions
2020-06-03 06:12:03 PM cchase but what is causing that failure?
2020-06-03 06:12:34 PM cchase hello clarissam
2020-06-03 06:12:38 PM clarissam Hello
2020-06-03 06:12:46 PM elaine synapses not firing right?
2020-06-03 06:12:49 PM clarissam what is the topic
2020-06-03 06:13:03 PM cchase good elaine- correct but why is that?
2020-06-03 06:13:14 PM cchase alzheimer's/dementia
2020-06-03 06:13:30 PM jjmiller227 lack of neurotranmitter that helps the connections communicate
2020-06-03 06:13:48 PM diovanneb what are best activities for alzheimer's?
2020-06-03 06:14:03 PM clarissam okay i work in that enviroment
2020-06-03 06:14:04 PM mnissenbaum the cause probably is a combination of age related changing the brain along with genetic and life style?
2020-06-03 06:14:21 PM cchase neurotransmitters are blocked
2020-06-03 06:14:54 PM elaine so the message can't get through?
2020-06-03 06:15:16 PM cchase yes - right - the disease forms plaques and tangles
2020-06-03 06:15:46 PM cchase they wrap themselves in such a way as to block the communications btw. neurons
2020-06-03 06:15:56 PM cchase think of it this way . . .
2020-06-03 06:16:00 PM diovanneb how do neurotransmitters gets blocked? is it environmental?
2020-06-03 06:16:19 PM cchase the growth of plaques and tangles block them
2020-06-03 06:16:24 PM mnissenbaum including amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary.
2020-06-03 06:16:37 PM cchase think of an electric wire - straight line (got that)
2020-06-03 06:16:51 PM cchase yes correct mnissenbaum
2020-06-03 06:17:18 PM cchase so that electric wire gets a twist/kink in it
2020-06-03 06:17:46 PM cchase now the electricity is blocked by the twist/kink
2020-06-03 06:17:50 PM mnissenbaum so they loss neurons and their connections?
