2020-07-23 07:06:09 PM martinezbetty approaches to interaction are different now that so much more information is available. PPl with dementia are no longer treated like senile crazy seniors
2020-07-23 07:06:12 PM tombattleboar I have a lot of current residents who are interrested with other cultures, including just simple as trying new food too learning an easy word or two.
2020-07-23 07:06:20 PM seanj We have an art gallery in our facility where we display the resident's art. I think it contributes to the culture.
2020-07-23 07:06:28 PM michelled learing about diffferent foods with the other residents is good
2020-07-23 07:06:34 PM balvarez i agree
2020-07-23 07:06:38 PM nlisdahl left the chat room
2020-07-23 07:06:38 PM tshaw i agree
2020-07-23 07:06:38 PM laceyh22 we have a wall of fame for art work as well
2020-07-23 07:06:38 PM susanpmazziotta I agree activities need to be inclusive or it is fun to do celebrations when we are able after COVID exploring countries food and fun games or interests.
2020-07-23 07:06:39 PM paula12 music is a big one for cultural
2020-07-23 07:06:39 PM katieunderwood I have a lady from Brazil her name is Nazira she is so sweet! We had a gentleman from Greece loved him he hardly spoke english so we had to translate alot for him
2020-07-23 07:06:41 PM gailgilberto We have tried many new foods - they love it
2020-07-23 07:06:42 PM carilyngesicki Nurturing staff, especially the one on one care support
2020-07-23 07:06:43 PM maninder i think it depends on how we define culture- it can be different ethnicities or the environment we foster
2020-07-23 07:06:50 PM katieunderwood His name was Nicoloudakis
2020-07-23 07:06:51 PM clcroom We have the smae thing, sean
2020-07-23 07:06:56 PM lyndsayt I consider the residents move into my facility as a culture change. They are having to learn how to live in a completley different enviornment with strangers
2020-07-23 07:06:58 PM lavelar13 katieunderwood it is tense and stressful but with so many cultures it can be turned around and made fun and educational
2020-07-23 07:07:01 PM arshieta83 we have had their family to make boards so we understand what they are trying to tell us
2020-07-23 07:07:02 PM esmec i cant even keep up with all these answers this is so confusing!!
2020-07-23 07:07:02 PM susandziegenbein It is also about how the residents are addressed. For instance instead of Patient call them Resident, Instead of here is your food tray say dinner is served

2020-07-23 07:07:04 PM martinezbetty true
2020-07-23 07:07:09 PM cchase trying to catch up you all are contributing so well
2020-07-23 07:07:10 PM sierrafannin we do an arm chair travel program where all the daily activties are based around our destination, including decor, food, music, and games
2020-07-23 07:07:10 PM gwenbess In my area there are two main different cultures represented. We have large groups of Itailian and Irish culture in our facitlity.
2020-07-23 07:07:12 PM ryann enter the chat room
2020-07-23 07:07:12 PM diovanneb Start by doing FAMOUS PLACES, and each week we discuss 1 country or city that residents can learn about.
2020-07-23 07:07:20 PM tombattleboar I spend my time on the weekends at work speaking new words in other languages.
2020-07-23 07:07:25 PM atirado Diet is a big one at my facility trying to get someone to eat food that they are not cultured is difficult trying to prepare food for someone in a the many diffrent cultures is hard too....
2020-07-23 07:07:26 PM stephberry98 I think a big thing is to help the residnet make the adjust ment from what used to be their normal at home to the new normal at the center and adjust to all of the new people and food and everything can be a cultural change
2020-07-23 07:07:28 PM lbaker1989 We also have an arm chair travel program!
2020-07-23 07:07:32 PM cchase did anyone mention the culture change is about the staff too
2020-07-23 07:07:34 PM lavelar13 lol funny how we think culture and talk FOOD!! jaja
2020-07-23 07:07:34 PM ehorton arm chair travel didnt go over so well in the hall
2020-07-23 07:07:38 PM nlisdahl It's challenging right now because at our facility, the residents have to stay in their rooms. Some residents are confused about why they can't go in the hallways and to socialize with their friends.
2020-07-23 07:07:39 PM maninder yes
2020-07-23 07:07:41 PM tshaw we do cruise weeks where our facility travels to different locations
2020-07-23 07:07:43 PM martinezbetty if we were in a class room it would be sooo loud!!
2020-07-23 07:07:47 PM katieunderwood I have done the arm chair travel as well!
2020-07-23 07:07:48 PM balvarez Yes, it plays a big role!!
2020-07-23 07:07:48 PM diovanneb Staff are members of the community, the family, not set apart from it. Hence, the focus of culture change is to reinvent the nursing home (NH) so that the dependency and deterioration that seems almost inevitable after NH admission is replaced by resident growth, creativity, and “regenerativity”—a vastly improved quality of life.
2020-07-23 07:07:49 PM susanpmazziotta Food is always a fun way to bring up and honor cultures, it will be more important moving forward given the political changes that we are seeing currently.
2020-07-23 07:07:51 PM sierrafannin lbaker! Thats awesome! so much you can do with it
2020-07-23 07:07:51 PM tshaw the resident really like that

2020-07-23 07:07:57 PM gailgilberto yes, it is defintly about the staff....sometimes they can not adjust
2020-07-23 07:08:01 PM jessiev1 Before covd, I had a resident, born and raised, in Milan Philippenes.
2020-07-23 07:08:01 PM nlisdahl No not with staff.
2020-07-23 07:08:02 PM paula12 we do cruise week to
2020-07-23 07:08:02 PM michr The staff are supposed to feel like they are a part of the community.
2020-07-23 07:08:02 PM lbaker1989 yes you can!!
2020-07-23 07:08:03 PM flossie Hello\
2020-07-23 07:08:07 PM laceyh22 we put in care plans to help resident adjust to nursing home through meeting people of both different and similar backgrounds
2020-07-23 07:08:08 PM lbaker1989 I love that program!!
2020-07-23 07:08:09 PM maninder it can be about respect, how the staff works, how we interact with the residents
2020-07-23 07:08:14 PM michaeld Yes correct
2020-07-23 07:08:14 PM seanj For CNA week, I worked at introducing the staff to different cultures with an Around the World theme.
2020-07-23 07:08:15 PM gailgilberto Staff is part of the community
2020-07-23 07:08:18 PM lavelar13 well staff can also share their culture. i know i would love to
2020-07-23 07:08:22 PM susandziegenbein celeste. Yes, I did . I said how the staff uses language. For instance. Dont call them patients but residents
2020-07-23 07:08:24 PM carilyngesicki communication and person centeered care
2020-07-23 07:08:24 PM lbaker1989 I just wish I could have the IN2L

2020-07-23 07:08:39 PM cchase is culture change the same as the green house?
2020-07-23 07:08:47 PM atirado We did a covered dish once a month for each country!
2020-07-23 07:08:48 PM tombattleboar Culture change with staff needs to be improved on as I see at my work. But the first breaking icebreg is hosting a culture food day and discussing how meals are made and eaten.
2020-07-23 07:08:49 PM tshaw staff is a big part due to that may be the only people the resident see
2020-07-23 07:08:50 PM marisah4 imcnofused
2020-07-23 07:08:51 PM sierrafannin I have also had families come in with items they have collected over the years from their travels and brought photos from when they were younger
2020-07-23 07:08:51 PM tshaw and know
2020-07-23 07:08:52 PM reneewhite yes
2020-07-23 07:08:53 PM lbaker1989 Staff should def be involved learning about the residents and their different cultures!
2020-07-23 07:08:56 PM susandziegenbein What is the green house?
2020-07-23 07:08:57 PM tashawade I think so
2020-07-23 07:08:57 PM gailgilberto Love my IN@l great cultural stuff
2020-07-23 07:08:58 PM lavelar13 sorry guys hospital worker im use to patients but yes residents
2020-07-23 07:09:00 PM stephberry98 I would say it is not the same
2020-07-23 07:09:02 PM clarissam we use to do Armchair traveling one place and learn about culture and different foods
2020-07-23 07:09:03 PM jessiev1 no
2020-07-23 07:09:03 PM gwenbess This time of year the residents are requesting a lot of food experiences from the garden vegetaables. This is a big part of culutre in the southern culture.
2020-07-23 07:09:03 PM nlisdahl Sorry my computer froze. I think the staff is big part too.
2020-07-23 07:09:05 PM katieunderwood I actually at one time had an activity that allowed my residents to learn a second language and we did it together as a group and made it fun!
2020-07-23 07:09:06 PM karenb we tried a spanish calss to the employees to learn spanish but with everyone working so much over time these days, it was cancelled.
2020-07-23 07:09:14 PM michaeld No its not like Greenhouse
2020-07-23 07:09:14 PM clarissam i dont think so
2020-07-23 07:09:16 PM arshieta83 yes we need to understand when it comes to thing like food and how they eat cause we might think its different but its normal in their culture so we need to do our homework
2020-07-23 07:09:16 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
2020-07-23 07:09:16 PM susanpmazziotta We have a broad spectrum of culture differences here at our facility from african american, mulitiple latino countries, haiti, domican republic, eastern european...
2020-07-23 07:09:19 PM lyndsayt the green house living model?
2020-07-23 07:09:21 PM lbaker1989 thas a great idea cultural change is a community in which indivuals value and respect each other and help each others
2020-07-23 07:09:22 PM tshaw we have sign language class
2020-07-23 07:09:22 PM brittanyanne24 i think it is not like the greenhouse
2020-07-23 07:09:24 PM balvarez I dont believe so

2020-07-23 07:09:31 PM atirado We had family prepare food for a resident to get her weight up because she wasnt eating the food.

2020-07-23 07:09:32 PM gailgilberto Instead of Armshair we actually pretend we are going somewhere.
2020-07-23 07:09:33 PM flossie greenhouse project is so awesome
2020-07-23 07:09:33 PM lavelar13 culture change could possibly be the same jsut depends on what your idea of a "home" is
2020-07-23 07:09:34 PM janinereyesad not the same
2020-07-23 07:09:35 PM seanj It's the simple things that you have to show the staff sometimes like, "Hey guys, it's important that you recognize Ms. N is Vietnamese and not Chinese." You would not believe how many people do not think that is relevant to the residents/
2020-07-23 07:09:36 PM paula12 we learn spanish words
2020-07-23 07:09:37 PM dianemgonzalez have to look at that
2020-07-23 07:09:41 PM michelled I have never seen a greenhouse
2020-07-23 07:09:46 PM maninder i learned a new language because majority of the residents at the facility spoke that language
2020-07-23 07:09:50 PM reneewhite no not like greenhouse
2020-07-23 07:09:52 PM cchase there is also Eden Alternative
2020-07-23 07:09:55 PM sierrafannin michelled google it! you will love it
2020-07-23 07:09:57 PM gwenbess I thing the Green House facility is great. It is very impersonable and family oriented.
2020-07-23 07:09:58 PM gailgilberto I would love to do sign language
2020-07-23 07:09:59 PM maryneals48 me neither
2020-07-23 07:10:00 PM arshieta83 i have never heard og the greenhouse
2020-07-23 07:10:01 PM susandziegenbein I found that pioneernetwork.net is a wonderful and informative sight
2020-07-23 07:10:04 PM sierrafannin eden is wonderful!
2020-07-23 07:10:07 PM martinezbetty Thats a great idea but carefivers still need to be hired at least part time
2020-07-23 07:10:07 PM lyndsayt green house models are amazing. Look into it
2020-07-23 07:10:08 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”
2020-07-23 07:10:09 PM janinereyesad what is Eden?
2020-07-23 07:10:11 PM nlisdahl I am hard of hearing and I provide sign language for the residents and will be doing some ASL songs for them too.
2020-07-23 07:10:15 PM marisah4 i love the idea of green house homes
2020-07-23 07:10:17 PM maryneals48 greenhouse is wonderful
2020-07-23 07:10:19 PM tshaw it awesome...it help with their movement of their hands also
2020-07-23 07:10:21 PM ryann thats great!
2020-07-23 07:10:22 PM lbaker1989 I love that idea!
2020-07-23 07:10:27 PM brittanyanne24 that is great
2020-07-23 07:10:28 PM michr It seems like culture change would be similar to the greeb house idea.
2020-07-23 07:10:28 PM balvarez Thats cool
2020-07-23 07:10:30 PM paula12 we do sign language to

2020-07-23 07:10:42 PM sherryllincoln Greenhouses are awesome!!
2020-07-23 07:10:44 PM atirado Wow! Thats Great!
2020-07-23 07:10:45 PM sierrafannin I think so small homes fit in this catergory
2020-07-23 07:10:45 PM tombattleboar One postive note is my cook friend at work cooks a lot of non American based food at work to see how it stands up to normal food the residents seem to love Indian food.
2020-07-23 07:10:47 PM esmec i think culture change is associated with green houses because even though it a home like enviornment they still have to adjust.
2020-07-23 07:10:50 PM gwenbess In the Green House, the home is centered around the residents and not the medical aspect of the home.
2020-07-23 07:10:50 PM katieunderwood The Green House project is a prime example of culture change imagine changing your everyday home into a set up ideal for high levels of nursing home care
2020-07-23 07:10:52 PM lavelar13 have we learned about The Eden Alternative?
2020-07-23 07:10:53 PM melveniag Never saw one
2020-07-23 07:10:56 PM clarissam i would love to work in a green house setting
2020-07-23 07:10:58 PM racheldonohoue So true! I was thinking more of actual cultures, but now I remember. Creating facilities into actual homelike structures! Yes! I absolutely loved the greenhouses!

2020-07-23 07:11:28 PM maninder great ideas
2020-07-23 07:11:28 PM sierrafannin cchase I agree big time with that statement
2020-07-23 07:11:28 PM nlisdahl I will have to google more about them. It looks really neat.
2020-07-23 07:11:30 PM sandishell19 good idea
2020-07-23 07:11:30 PM tashawade I still fill like there would be some culture change in both the green house and the eden. They would still have to adapt to change
2020-07-23 07:11:31 PM stephberry98 I would think that would be a whole different culture and everything just because they function differently
2020-07-23 07:11:37 PM tshaw yes my resident love around the world
2020-07-23 07:11:39 PM paula12 culture week is very neat

2020-07-23 07:12:02 PM laceyh22 we've done cruise ship week - traveled to different parts of the world to experience their culture.
2020-07-23 07:12:02 PM susandziegenbein I think I'd like a place like that when my turn comes
2020-07-23 07:12:02 PM lyndsayt what are ceiling lifts?
2020-07-23 07:12:03 PM marisah4 thast the way to go we need updated tech
2020-07-23 07:12:04 PM tshaw or country
2020-07-23 07:12:04 PM maninder that sounds great
2020-07-23 07:12:05 PM atirado Anything to do with food would be a hugge hit with residents and staff!
2020-07-23 07:12:05 PM michr That sounds wonderful.

2020-07-23 07:12:17 PM nlisdahl Smart technology is a huge thing for anyone.
2020-07-23 07:12:18 PM seanj That is so cool!
2020-07-23 07:12:21 PM marisah4 a little family
2020-07-23 07:12:22 PM bethaldrich5 Our director is great about reminding staff that our facility is their home. So we do a lot to make sure that residents can act like it is their home. If a resident wants to go outside and we have outside visitors at this time, we find a way to accomodate that.
2020-07-23 07:12:23 PM lbaker1989 I love that idea
2020-07-23 07:12:23 PM tshaw that a good idea
2020-07-23 07:12:24 PM balvarez Thats so neat
2020-07-23 07:12:25 PM gwenbess I like it because its not focused on nursing. The nurses station is not the center of the home.
2020-07-23 07:12:26 PM janinereyesad Food is a big hit any time lol
2020-07-23 07:12:27 PM michelled thats small
2020-07-23 07:12:27 PM susandziegenbein Nice!
2020-07-23 07:12:28 PM tombattleboar A commonly reported barrier to culture change adoption is staff resistance to change.

2020-07-23 07:12:48 PM martinezbetty So many new builds do away with the warm touch of antiques and other things that are familiar with the older population
2020-07-23 07:12:49 PM cchase 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.
2020-07-23 07:12:49 PM michelled We need more of those
2020-07-23 07:12:50 PM brittanyanne24 i love green houses more cozy and like home
2020-07-23 07:12:51 PM tashawade I feel like that would be more personal centered care. I really love this idea.
2020-07-23 07:12:51 PM jessiev1 We are growing veggies right now
2020-07-23 07:12:52 PM melveniag ok (y)

2020-07-23 07:12:55 PM stephberry98 I feel like the greenhouses might be able to biuld a stronger community due to the smaller group of people

2020-07-23 07:12:57 PM laceyh22 there's a beautiful video on youtube about green houses. would love to experience working at one one day.
2020-07-23 07:13:01 PM nlisdahl A lot of the resident's really enjoys plants, gardens and etc. I think it's really neat idea.
2020-07-23 07:13:03 PM balvarez My residents love doing gardening and such
2020-07-23 07:13:05 PM carilyngesicki Our normalcy has changed at this stage

2020-07-23 07:13:09 PM marisah4 i love that
2020-07-23 07:13:09 PM susandziegenbein Sounds like it gets away from a sterile looking environment
2020-07-23 07:13:10 PM paula12 i love smaller groups
2020-07-23 07:13:14 PM susanpmazziotta I love the idea of the Greenhouse model, it is truly a family, a number of countries doing similar ideas to this.
2020-07-23 07:13:14 PM ehorton cool
2020-07-23 07:13:15 PM bethaldrich5 We have tons of house plants and are fortunate to be in a facility that once was a mansion, so it has a strong home like feel.
2020-07-23 07:13:17 PM barbaramclaurin1 Ms. Chase, my computer crashed and I had to reboot.
2020-07-23 07:13:18 PM katieunderwood We have a garden! My residents love it!
2020-07-23 07:13:20 PM webernicole enter the chat room
2020-07-23 07:13:20 PM lbaker1989 We are growing tomatoes
2020-07-23 07:13:21 PM maninder sense of community, thats great
2020-07-23 07:13:22 PM cchase so how are green houses and culture change different?
2020-07-23 07:13:22 PM gailgilberto I think it makes them feel more at home
2020-07-23 07:13:23 PM racheldonohoue I wish the greenhouse movement was more available to those with lower income :( To those who have to live off of Medicaid.
2020-07-23 07:13:24 PM lbaker1989 and flowers
2020-07-23 07:13:32 PM gwenbess our courtyard is at the center of our facility, we have large windows for natural sunlight.
2020-07-23 07:13:32 PM michelled Is it one activity person to a greenhouse
2020-07-23 07:13:33 PM sandishell19 we have a vegetable gareden that the residents manage
2020-07-23 07:13:34 PM nlisdahl We have garden at our facility and that's one of their favorite thing to plant it and to watch them grow.
2020-07-23 07:13:41 PM katieunderwood I dont think they are different
2020-07-23 07:13:43 PM brittanyanne24 that is good because not everyone likes to do certian things at certian times
2020-07-23 07:13:44 PM karenb I wish we could do these things.
2020-07-23 07:13:44 PM marisah4 is green houses cganing cluture?
2020-07-23 07:13:45 PM martinezbetty Adapting to the needs of seniors
2020-07-23 07:13:46 PM tombattleboar you guys know the principles of the culture change movement
2020-07-23 07:13:48 PM michr Where are the green houses?
2020-07-23 07:13:49 PM flossie aren't greenhouse a part of culture change?
2020-07-23 07:13:49 PM ryann I think that being closer to nature would be perfect
2020-07-23 07:13:51 PM laceyh22 i think that green houses are adapted more to a residents culture
2020-07-23 07:13:53 PM diovanneb We have Garden Club
2020-07-23 07:13:55 PM bethaldrich5 We don't have a veggie garden ourselves, but families have chosen to plant things like tomatoes and peas outside of windows.
2020-07-23 07:13:59 PM ryann no tom what are they?
2020-07-23 07:13:59 PM susandziegenbein It sounds more "community based" and a little "neighborhood" feel
2020-07-23 07:14:01 PM atirado There are so many great ideas out there and topics to reserch on youtub on diffrent ways to adress and embrace each culture!
2020-07-23 07:14:07 PM diovanneb the members grow their veggies and plants
2020-07-23 07:14:07 PM bonnie I just started a small veggie garden for my residents so we are waiting for things to sprout!
2020-07-23 07:14:09 PM tombattleboar We just have an garden
2020-07-23 07:14:09 PM jessiev1 I'm very fortunate to work in a facility that is ALL private rooms, complete with their own bathrooms and bathing areas.
2020-07-23 07:14:15 PM katieunderwood They both create a warm home like environment for the elderly and a comfort level that meets their needs
2020-07-23 07:14:20 PM lbaker1989 I would think you would plsnt what the residents want to plant and they can grow their own plants
2020-07-23 07:14:21 PM webernicole Definitely relates more to the residents prior lifestyle and makes them feel more at home
2020-07-23 07:14:24 PM ryann we have a garden also this year we did veggies
2020-07-23 07:14:26 PM 219999 enter the chat room
2020-07-23 07:14:28 PM marisah4 i guess the green house model changes nursing hom culuture as we know it to be
2020-07-23 07:14:30 PM melveniag what do u do at a garden club
2020-07-23 07:14:30 PM dianemgonzalez seems it is more homelike
2020-07-23 07:14:31 PM cchase Canada has one of the largest green house based Alzheimer's community
2020-07-23 07:14:31 PM clcroom We grow flowers. Not allowed veggies.
2020-07-23 07:14:34 PM tashawade I don't think there is a change
2020-07-23 07:14:35 PM sherryllincoln Greenhouses are real homes, facilities are buildings trying to be home like
2020-07-23 07:14:36 PM maninder green house allows them to have similar culture they maintained outside of LTC. Though greenshouse living is a cultural change from traditional LTC
2020-07-23 07:14:40 PM tshaw it does seem more home like
2020-07-23 07:14:41 PM cchase look it up - pretty amazing
2020-07-23 07:14:44 PM bonnie i started with a small green house for the facility and then we planted them out on our deck once they sprouted
2020-07-23 07:14:44 PM sierrafannin enter the chat room
2020-07-23 07:14:45 PM racheldonohoue I guess the difference between culture change and greenhouses is that it's just based around the idea of turning any facility into as much of a "homely" environment as possible.
2020-07-23 07:14:45 PM atirado When they are done planting we cook with the veggies and fruits!
2020-07-23 07:14:47 PM marisah4 canada is great
2020-07-23 07:14:48 PM susanpmazziotta I believe there is so much to be learned from Eden and Greenhouse and other models out there. American culture is so diverse but I would like to see more family or new type family and community involvement.
2020-07-23 07:14:49 PM lyndsayt Yes they are definitley different. Even living in a greenhouse enviornment is culture change. It will never be 100% home.
2020-07-23 07:14:50 PM balvarez I will have to check that out
2020-07-23 07:14:54 PM karenb Canada seems to be years ahead of us.
2020-07-23 07:14:57 PM carilyngesicki Can we move on to something else
2020-07-23 07:14:59 PM paula12 i would love to have greenhouses here great idea

2020-07-23 07:15:08 PM michelled That is really neat. Why do we not ahve more in america?
2020-07-23 07:15:09 PM lavelar13 green houses and culture change are different in the privacy settings maybe?
2020-07-23 07:15:10 PM cchase do you think residents would rather live in a green house environment or LTC
2020-07-23 07:15:15 PM sierrafannin green house
2020-07-23 07:15:17 PM haleypettigrew what are yalls views on the Tv being on in the residents common area? Is it their right to have it on at all times or is it activities control to turn on and off?
2020-07-23 07:15:17 PM susandziegenbein It sounds lovely and like something that a senior would look forward to and not be as nervous moving into
2020-07-23 07:15:17 PM nlisdahl We grow tons of veggies and we did veggies tasting.
2020-07-23 07:15:18 PM arshieta83 is green more home like the staff is out like a nursing home its very miminmum
