2020-07-21 07:06:47 PM davislsc depending on the tasks they perform
2020-07-21 07:06:54 PM vgreen Sometimes it is hard, as a facility to make these changes, when corporate comes in and does not like the "look" of the place, for whatever reason. I think it looks home like and they want sanitary looking.
2020-07-21 07:07:08 PM lynnh so true
2020-07-21 07:07:09 PM turnerjennifer culture change allows staff to have more one on one time with the residents
2020-07-21 07:07:09 PM jjmiller227 It helps get away from "this is the way we've always done things"
2020-07-21 07:07:21 PM lwilliams10 YEs
2020-07-21 07:07:22 PM yadi1 Communication and enthusiam is a must between staff and residents if something needs to be applied too. Both parties must want to want it in order for it to work
2020-07-21 07:07:29 PM smithtammyl we make the rooms look home like enviroment
2020-07-21 07:07:33 PM feliciasuominen agreed
2020-07-21 07:07:48 PM cchase 1. Autonomy: Seniors have their own private bathroom and room, and they are free from scheduling. They are able to access shared and social areas of the house at any time, making it truly feel like home.
2020-07-21 07:08:13 PM cchase Green Living: In this case, “green” means living within the natural world. Green House Project homes let in plenty of sunlight and include garden areas, plants and outdoor access.
2020-07-21 07:08:19 PM stargie69 sound great
2020-07-21 07:08:26 PM lynnh love the Green Living
2020-07-21 07:08:28 PM jjmiller227 Yes. Agree, Management has to set the tone for it to be successful
2020-07-21 07:08:30 PM heidimilesmetcalfe enter the chat room
2020-07-21 07:08:32 PM yadi1 Independence is a must if we want the resident to feel like they still have control of their life.
2020-07-21 07:08:38 PM cchase are you familiar with Green House concept?
2020-07-21 07:08:41 PM lynnh wish i was rich to have a few of them

2020-07-21 07:09:03 PM feliciasuominen i believe i watched a video over it
2020-07-21 07:09:14 PM cchase Intimacy: Instead of a traditional group home, a Green House Project community consists of clusters of smaller homes with 6-10 senior residents.
2020-07-21 07:09:31 PM smithtammyl oh
2020-07-21 07:09:39 PM yadi1 wish we had a green house project available.
2020-07-21 07:09:42 PM smagana Dont they call the workers at a green house called Shabahs or something like that
2020-07-21 07:09:45 PM deneehough Love the Green house project! Wish there were some around my area!!
2020-07-21 07:09:46 PM cchase Smart Technology: Green House communities use smart technology such as adaptive devices, computers and ceiling lifts
2020-07-21 07:10:03 PM turnerjennifer yes they do smagana

2020-07-21 07:10:17 PM lwilliams10 I would love to work at a Green House. Learned about them in MEPAP 1
2020-07-21 07:10:21 PM cchase Warmth: This is one of the core values of the Green House Project. A warm living situation consists of a layout that encourages social activity, as well as decor and furnishings that provide comfort.
2020-07-21 07:10:22 PM heidimilesmetcalfe That is awesome
2020-07-21 07:10:22 PM vgreen When I learned about that "cluster" living, I could only imagine that most building couldn't do it if they are older buildings. Sounds like it should be built from ground up.
2020-07-21 07:10:24 PM davislsc Green House sounds amazing
2020-07-21 07:10:30 PM cchase well thank you
2020-07-21 07:10:46 PM feliciasuominen i bet it is easier to really focus on the residents since there are so few compared to larger facilities
2020-07-21 07:10:53 PM turnerjennifer I would like to live in a Green House when I get older
2020-07-21 07:11:09 PM smithtammyl this is veryknowledgeable
2020-07-21 07:11:09 PM smagana the Shabahs at the greenhouse invironment are all cross trained to help with various tasks like personal care, recreational activities, etc
2020-07-21 07:11:37 PM cchase what do you all imagine might get in the way of creating this environment
2020-07-21 07:11:52 PM davislsc Weather and Location
2020-07-21 07:12:01 PM smithtammyl staff
2020-07-21 07:12:04 PM yadi1 turnerjennifer, I would too, but, I would kill the beautiful plants, I dont have a green thumb, but, I know many of our Residents would love this project.
2020-07-21 07:12:15 PM jjmiller227 resistence to change, not wanting to try something different
2020-07-21 07:12:17 PM turnerjennifer me too yadi1!
2020-07-21 07:12:17 PM smagana It may be difficult to ensure that the residents are getting their needs met if people are not sure who is completing what task for the resident
2020-07-21 07:12:24 PM lwilliams10 larger facilities, location/population, staff
2020-07-21 07:12:25 PM turnerjennifer space would get in the way
2020-07-21 07:12:27 PM lynnh staff turnover
2020-07-21 07:12:29 PM feliciasuominen staffing!
2020-07-21 07:12:39 PM cchase goo anwers
2020-07-21 07:12:40 PM yadi1 funds, for us, would be a barrier for this projects.
2020-07-21 07:12:44 PM cchase good
2020-07-21 07:12:44 PM heidimilesmetcalfe Staffing
2020-07-21 07:12:46 PM deneehough Money
2020-07-21 07:12:48 PM smagana I think funds as well
2020-07-21 07:12:52 PM cchase what about regulations?
2020-07-21 07:12:55 PM davislsc California would make a great location for this project.
2020-07-21 07:13:01 PM stargie69 State Regulations
2020-07-21 07:13:09 PM smithtammyl State
2020-07-21 07:13:09 PM vgreen Family support
2020-07-21 07:13:10 PM lynnh funding
2020-07-21 07:13:13 PM smagana but wouldnt cross trained staff help reduce the needs of costs?
2020-07-21 07:13:14 PM heidimilesmetcalfe State reg
2020-07-21 07:13:23 PM turnerjennifer regulations would be totally different
2020-07-21 07:13:23 PM feliciasuominen yes state
2020-07-21 07:13:23 PM davislsc Funding is a big one too
2020-07-21 07:13:28 PM yadi1 I would need to look into regulations in Texas, not sure.
2020-07-21 07:13:33 PM deneehough smagana, I agree
2020-07-21 07:13:44 PM cchase those facilities that are reimbursed through medicare/ for example -
2020-07-21 07:13:53 PM smithtammyl yes
2020-07-21 07:14:01 PM jjmiller227 Surveyors are for it, but need to show that regulations are met
2020-07-21 07:14:08 PM cchase need to address regulations in order to be reimbursed by medicare
2020-07-21 07:14:08 PM heidimilesmetcalfe Really I dont know that
2020-07-21 07:14:21 PM smithtammyl yes
2020-07-21 07:14:38 PM vgreen Would most Green houses be private pay?
2020-07-21 07:14:42 PM yadi1 We could get reimbursed, but getting the funds to get started would be difficult to get.
2020-07-21 07:14:43 PM lwilliams10 regulations would probably be very different then in a larger nursing home
2020-07-21 07:14:43 PM turnerjennifer would green houses be private pay?
2020-07-21 07:14:44 PM cchase their hands can be tied to some degree
2020-07-21 07:14:54 PM smagana Medicare sets the standards for reimbursemnt dont they?
2020-07-21 07:14:55 PM smithtammyl True
2020-07-21 07:14:57 PM yadi1 cchase, that is a good point.
2020-07-21 07:15:02 PM deneehough I would think that if they are more privately owned then the state regulations would be different than most nursing homes and assisted living. Thoughts?
2020-07-21 07:15:08 PM cchase ty yadi
2020-07-21 07:15:19 PM davislsc State Regulators in TX would love greenhouse program
2020-07-21 07:15:31 PM davislsc its not food, or tv lol
2020-07-21 07:15:40 PM smithtammyl It sounds like we need more of these
2020-07-21 07:15:47 PM cchase if the green house do no abide by medicare stipulations...and they are drivien by regs. well it can be tricky
2020-07-21 07:15:57 PM yadi1 This infact is a great program, to get started.
2020-07-21 07:16:06 PM cchase funny davis

2020-07-21 07:17:15 PM davislsc I see
2020-07-21 07:17:15 PM smithtammyl yes
2020-07-21 07:17:15 PM davislsc there could also be an extention for crafts and DIY activities
2020-07-21 07:17:26 PM cchase do you think your admins would go along with this new concepts?
2020-07-21 07:17:26 PM smagana yes it is a culture change to go from home to facility type care
2020-07-21 07:17:31 PM vgreen Nope, home is the last place I want to be, cooking and cleaning, pay bills, let me chill in a greenhouse (:o)
2020-07-21 07:17:35 PM smithtammyl yes

2020-07-21 07:17:52 PM heidimilesmetcalfe Probably maybe
2020-07-21 07:17:54 PM lwilliams10 My would like this idea. She is all about our residents and what they want and their needs
2020-07-21 07:18:10 PM yadi1 I will look into this, have information on hand and show my ED, see if it's something we can implement in the near future.
2020-07-21 07:18:17 PM cchase funny - I proclaim no cooking or cleaning allowed in the green house

2020-07-21 07:20:00 PM davislsc Cleaning helps to validate them.
2020-07-21 07:20:04 PM cchase to be honest - it's about feeling useful not so much about cleaning per say
2020-07-21 07:20:12 PM deneehough It does davislsc

2020-07-21 07:20:41 PM lwilliams10 yes
2020-07-21 07:20:48 PM cchase so how do you change the culture of that aspect
2020-07-21 07:20:50 PM turnerjennifer Most of the elderly have a hard time leaving their homes. They don't want to go into a nursing home. I think green houses would help with that.
2020-07-21 07:20:56 PM smithtammyl they just want to feel needed
2020-07-21 07:21:17 PM cchase good point jennifer
2020-07-21 07:21:21 PM yadi1 Maybe, by making it a part of the routine.
2020-07-21 07:21:22 PM lwilliams10 They want to still have and feel their independance
2020-07-21 07:21:31 PM smagana give the resident "Elder" the opportunity to assit with cleaning tasks like folding linen
2020-07-21 07:21:33 PM lynnh to have a purpose
2020-07-21 07:21:33 PM jjmiller227 we all want to feel a part of something, so give them tasks and activities
2020-07-21 07:21:44 PM cchase if you do not feel old = would you want to be put with a whole lot of old people?
2020-07-21 07:21:45 PM smithtammyl some residents like to make their own bed
2020-07-21 07:21:49 PM davislsc Lifestyles assesments help me to get know what they did at home before coming to us
2020-07-21 07:21:50 PM feliciasuominen incorporate things that are familiar to them
2020-07-21 07:21:52 PM turnerjennifer no way!

2020-07-21 07:23:21 PM turnerjennifer I think moving to a green house would be easier to adapt to the move
2020-07-21 07:23:26 PM davislsc Some like simplicity and being indepent and other hate being cared for

2020-07-21 07:23:54 PM yadi1 Independence is very important even for a todler, they want to feel in control
2020-07-21 07:24:10 PM lwilliams10 Helping them keep as much of a normal routine as possible
2020-07-21 07:24:10 PM davislsc give them a meaningful activity that realated to the community
2020-07-21 07:24:11 PM stargie69 I will make them feel very comfortable
2020-07-21 07:24:17 PM smagana identify what activities or responsibilities the person did for themself or others in the past
2020-07-21 07:24:19 PM feliciasuominen find out what kind of special skill they might have and maybe use that somehow in the home
2020-07-21 07:24:25 PM smithtammyl let them do stuff to help out
2020-07-21 07:24:33 PM jjmiller227 I recall one of my administrators state the best NF she saw was a green cinder block building - the life inside was the best she had ever seen. Give the residents a family within the building
2020-07-21 07:24:35 PM turnerjennifer knowing their routine and incorporating that into activities. If someone was used to setting the table before meals, have them do that now
2020-07-21 07:24:38 PM yadi1 Ask them what interest them, and implement that in activities
2020-07-21 07:24:42 PM smithtammyl like set the dinning room table
2020-07-21 07:24:55 PM smagana identify what they are able to assist with or continue to assit with in their current state. Focus on how to make this happen by making the necessary adjustments to the task
2020-07-21 07:24:57 PM vgreen Help them feel useful by giving them an important task that contributes to the community
2020-07-21 07:25:01 PM davislsc Something that makes them feel like they are helping or making a diffrence
2020-07-21 07:25:22 PM smithtammyl let them help me pass out refreshments
2020-07-21 07:25:24 PM turnerjennifer I had a resident who loved to help clean the dining room. She would change the table clothes and set out the water glasses and silverware. It gave her a sense of purpose
2020-07-21 07:25:33 PM jjmiller227 See them for who they are currently and who they have been
2020-07-21 07:25:47 PM yadi1 When I get their ideas and implement them, even let them run the activity, they always participate more.
2020-07-21 07:26:00 PM turnerjennifer yes yadi1
2020-07-21 07:26:01 PM stargie69 I will address them the way they want to be address
2020-07-21 07:26:06 PM davislsc not all jobs/activities are created equal

2020-07-21 07:26:37 PM turnerjennifer I did that when I went on vacation. I had residents volunteer to run activities while I was gone. They loved it!

2020-07-21 07:26:57 PM deneehough I have a resident with such a giving heart. She use to volunteer, so we Created a job position for her, she is out "offical greeter" she sits in the front lobby and greets everyone that enters. She is AMAZING at her job and it has given her such purpose!! <3
2020-07-21 07:26:58 PM cchase look them up
2020-07-21 07:27:08 PM cchase lots to learn from there site
2020-07-21 07:27:09 PM smithtammyl ok thank you
2020-07-21 07:27:15 PM smagana Will do
2020-07-21 07:27:19 PM stargie69 sure I will look them up
2020-07-21 07:27:19 PM turnerjennifer looking at it now
2020-07-21 07:27:20 PM yadi1 I will definetly look into that, thank you cchase.
2020-07-21 07:27:22 PM vgreen I believe in Greenhouse, they are not made to feel there are structered activities, eveything is seemless. There are activities, don't get me wrong, but to label it activities like its done at a SNF "do you want to go to activities?" I really don't like that...
2020-07-21 07:27:23 PM jjmiller227 will do
2020-07-21 07:27:28 PM cchase also research the Eden alternative
2020-07-21 07:27:44 PM stargie69 okay..will do
2020-07-21 07:27:47 PM cchase they have a similar theory about culture change
2020-07-21 07:28:09 PM cchase • The Eden Alternative focuses on partnering with nursing homes to help them change their culture, environment and approach to care to “create a habitat for human beings rather than facilities for the frail and elderly”
2020-07-21 07:28:19 PM lwilliams10 i have done a few eden alternative trainings at my facility
2020-07-21 07:28:25 PM heidimilesmetcalfe Thanks for sharing I'll check it out
2020-07-21 07:28:26 PM cchase • The Green House Project focuses on helping companies and individuals build or convert residential homes that can provide high levels of care for individuals who do not wish to be in a nursing home setting
2020-07-21 07:28:45 PM smagana that sounds so impersonal " to facilities fo rthe frail and elderly"
2020-07-21 07:29:05 PM cchase the pioneer network has a great glossary of LTC terms
2020-07-21 07:29:30 PM smagana Nursing home is such a terrifying term for most people
2020-07-21 07:29:30 PM cchase good learning... almost threw it in the coursework but it was extensive
2020-07-21 07:29:40 PM feliciasuominen thank you for sharing!
2020-07-21 07:29:45 PM turnerjennifer I have always done person centered activities but after quickly glancing at the Pioneer Network, I may switch to person directed.
2020-07-21 07:29:48 PM smithtammyl thank you so much
2020-07-21 07:29:50 PM carilyngesicki enter the chat room

2020-07-21 07:30:21 PM lwilliams10 i will have to read up on the Pioneer Network
2020-07-21 07:30:21 PM cchase how else can you implement culture change
2020-07-21 07:30:37 PM yadi1 I will look into the two, very informational... Great to know these options excist even for us, when we get older.
2020-07-21 07:30:40 PM cchase Pioneer network gets my vote
2020-07-21 07:30:58 PM smagana left the chat room
2020-07-21 07:31:21 PM davislsc cchase I agree, Pioneer has some grat stuff.
2020-07-21 07:31:39 PM cchase did you look at the site davis?
2020-07-21 07:31:48 PM cchase what was most interesting to you
2020-07-21 07:31:53 PM carilyngesicki I will have to check it out
2020-07-21 07:32:07 PM cchase so culture change is about quality of life
2020-07-21 07:32:12 PM jjmiller227 person-directed rather than person-centered, like that
2020-07-21 07:32:13 PM turnerjennifer the site is very informational!
2020-07-21 07:32:14 PM smithtammyl yes
2020-07-21 07:32:18 PM cchase how do you enhance quality of life?

2020-07-21 07:33:08 PM carilyngesicki I do not have to do them
2020-07-21 07:33:16 PM davislsc cchase PN has a very good resource library
2020-07-21 07:33:17 PM cchase do you interview the family?
2020-07-21 07:33:18 PM feliciasuominen putting in effort to find what they enjoy and love
2020-07-21 07:33:21 PM smithtammyl yes
2020-07-21 07:33:22 PM yadi1 quality of life, is enhanced by giving the residents the best quality care posible, making them feel independent and pain free.
2020-07-21 07:33:27 PM lynnh no
2020-07-21 07:33:29 PM turnerjennifer not unless the resident is unable to verbalize
2020-07-21 07:33:29 PM feliciasuominen i have to interview some families because of covid!
2020-07-21 07:33:32 PM cchase no lynn
2020-07-21 07:33:44 PM cchase no jennifer
2020-07-21 07:33:50 PM davislsc cchase We interview families
2020-07-21 07:33:52 PM lwilliams10 When i do an initial assessment it takes roughly an hour to get information from the resdient and i talk with the families also. Then actually putting the info into the computer and doing a careplan takes longer.
2020-07-21 07:34:08 PM smithtammyl me
2020-07-21 07:34:13 PM cchase hmmm - what if the resident is a little confused about his/her needs
2020-07-21 07:34:15 PM smithtammyl to sorry
2020-07-21 07:34:20 PM davislsc It is a must for Memory care residents
2020-07-21 07:34:27 PM stargie69 my do the enterview
2020-07-21 07:34:28 PM jjmiller227 interview family, staff
2020-07-21 07:34:37 PM stargie69 i mean my boss
2020-07-21 07:34:49 PM smithtammyl look back intpo their chart to get information
2020-07-21 07:35:03 PM cchase ok grace so what if you have a questions
2020-07-21 07:35:06 PM yadi1 Covid is here to confuse our Residents but, I rely on face time alot.
2020-07-21 07:35:20 PM deneehough I put as much time as needed. I like to spend time with the residents and start building a friendship with them. I would say typically about 30 minutes-ish. ]
2020-07-21 07:35:22 PM lwilliams10 Thats why i speak with the resident and familiy because sometimes if the resident is confused i verify iformation with the family
2020-07-21 07:35:24 PM cchase covid isn't helping much for sure
2020-07-21 07:35:38 PM cchase good denee
2020-07-21 07:35:39 PM lynnh its so hard with Covid
2020-07-21 07:35:47 PM stargie69 if the resident non-verbal I will call the family
2020-07-21 07:35:51 PM turnerjennifer if the resident is confused i will ask the family too
2020-07-21 07:36:15 PM yadi1 family is very important when trying to understand a resident.
2020-07-21 07:36:15 PM vgreen The first days in the facility are never enough to learn about a person, I stay in touch with families to learn more about them along the way,with what i get from the resident on a daily basis.
2020-07-21 07:36:19 PM jjmiller227 think the talk with family is important if they are confused or not
2020-07-21 07:36:23 PM stargie69 if the family not available i will enterview tha staff
2020-07-21 07:36:31 PM smithtammyl sometimes its hard to get ahold of family member
