2020-09-15 06:44:41 PM tpadgett simple terms
2020-09-15 06:44:46 PM miguele then, look for easy solutions and do not ignore
2020-09-15 06:44:50 PM srolle maintain eye contact
2020-09-15 06:44:50 PM lbetts1992 i always walk in front so they can see me i get down to their eye level and start with my name and job title
2020-09-15 06:44:53 PM ahicks Repeat back to show I heard them
2020-09-15 06:45:00 PM perrylori direct eye contact is very imoortant. they watch your facial expression
2020-09-15 06:45:27 PM srolle avoid distractiions
2020-09-15 06:45:33 PM perrylori always be eye level never look down at them when you speak yes

2020-09-15 06:46:13 PM lbetts1992 always talk lo]'
2020-09-15 06:46:15 PM karenb yes, with all the PPE on its hard for them to see your facial expressions.
2020-09-15 06:46:27 PM ahicks TONE
2020-09-15 06:46:35 PM tpadgett your tone of voice says a lot though
2020-09-15 06:46:36 PM taherrens Speak slowly and clearly. Address them by their names, and have good eye contact
2020-09-15 06:46:40 PM ahicks Thats huge with masks
2020-09-15 06:46:58 PM lbetts1992 always talk loud and clear but not so loud they think you are yelling at them
2020-09-15 06:46:58 PM miguele Great tpadgett,, tone of voice is essential too
2020-09-15 06:47:00 PM perrylori masks is hard for our residents for sure
2020-09-15 06:47:02 PM lisacomstock lisa comstock just listening in see if i can learn something i may of missed
2020-09-15 06:47:08 PM srolle some of the residents states to pull the mask down so i can see you
2020-09-15 06:47:19 PM cchase so it is recommended that as you walk up to your resident - from a distance that you pull your mask down and smile before you get close - then put your mask on
2020-09-15 06:47:42 PM ahicks Ha my facility would flip out
2020-09-15 06:47:45 PM jocelynp yes i do
2020-09-15 06:47:49 PM karenb mine too

2020-09-15 06:47:53 PM perrylori i do tghat pull mask down so they know who i am
2020-09-15 06:48:01 PM dholmes86 yes that is what our ED instructed us too do

2020-09-15 06:48:14 PM ahicks At that time someone else could go by....
2020-09-15 06:48:16 PM lbetts1992 i use this also
2020-09-15 06:48:18 PM chanelrheubottom i pull mine down i getting sent home
2020-09-15 06:48:21 PM jacquelinediego Yes i have,how do you communitcate effectivley with older adult, older adult are afraid to communicate because they want to bother you you or see them as a complainer,some do not have the mental capacity to talk to you.
2020-09-15 06:48:33 PM cchase mask dwn so briefly when you are a safe distance from them
2020-09-15 06:48:42 PM cchase they are trying to show a smile -
2020-09-15 06:49:01 PM ahicks We have face shields and masks...no brief process
2020-09-15 06:49:04 PM srolle okay
2020-09-15 06:49:04 PM cchase some have drawn a smile right on the mask - which I personally like better
2020-09-15 06:49:18 PM dana1 Good idea
2020-09-15 06:49:19 PM chanelrheubottom i like that idea
2020-09-15 06:49:32 PM perrylori i made buttons as well with our pic on them
2020-09-15 06:49:32 PM karenb I might be able to do that.
2020-09-15 06:49:38 PM tpadgett I was going to say that Cel but wanted to not get of course :-)
2020-09-15 06:49:51 PM cchase ha ha thomas

2020-09-15 06:50:09 PM tpadgett don't use permanent marker it will smell bad
2020-09-15 06:50:18 PM miguele thanks!
2020-09-15 06:50:32 PM cchase ok so you want to send the message of smiles
2020-09-15 06:50:49 PM tpadgett and happiness
2020-09-15 06:50:53 PM cchase first is to be aware of the person's health issues
2020-09-15 06:51:12 PM cchase Older adults may have health problems that add difficulty to speaking and understanding
2020-09-15 06:51:40 PM cchase For example, they may have hearing problems, speech problems, and memory loss. These factors complicate communication. And remember, chronological age is not always a true indicator of a person’s health
2020-09-15 06:51:46 PM tpadgett hearing is another delima
2020-09-15 06:51:50 PM perrylori yes most of my residents read our expressions so hard to do that with a mask. so i do pull my mask down before i get to them. they are good with that and we carry on with our conversation
2020-09-15 06:52:21 PM chanelrheubottom we have a death person. she use to reading lips. its hard. i have to write stuff down all the time
2020-09-15 06:52:32 PM tpadgett deaf
2020-09-15 06:52:40 PM cchase Be attentive to the environment in which you are communicating.
2020-09-15 06:52:55 PM chanelrheubottom sorry my soon bugging me at the same time
2020-09-15 06:52:56 PM cchase particularly with someone deaf
2020-09-15 06:52:59 PM dana1 Knowledge is power
2020-09-15 06:53:09 PM jonismith enter the chat room
2020-09-15 06:53:23 PM lisacomstock is this culture change or communication with older adults? im confused now sorry
2020-09-15 06:53:30 PM cchase Is there any disturbing background noise? Are many people speaking in the same room? Is there any intrusive music? Are there any distractions that could affect your communication?
2020-09-15 06:53:34 PM dholmes86 communication
2020-09-15 06:53:35 PM jacquelinediego Most of the residents are hard of hearing so speakinng slowly and loud will help them hear better
2020-09-15 06:54:08 PM karenb Our building is replacing the plumbing. So annoying.
2020-09-15 06:54:18 PM cchase funny thing about talking loudly although necessary - it is sometimes resented by the resident
2020-09-15 06:54:18 PM lisacomstock ok i thought this was repeat from last week.
2020-09-15 06:54:21 PM jacquelinediego Eye contact with the resident is good aswell
2020-09-15 06:54:31 PM cchase reminds them of their own hearing issue
2020-09-15 06:54:33 PM lbetts1992 YES
2020-09-15 06:54:52 PM perrylori alot of my residents are dementia. they are so wanting to look around and noisy. i ttry to get their attention. most of the time it works.
2020-09-15 06:54:54 PM tpadgett try to avoid to much info in the public domain. Lots of residents don't want their info out there
2020-09-15 06:54:59 PM ahicks And just because someone is HOH does not necessarily mean talking loudly helps...it's ranges and tone
2020-09-15 06:55:07 PM tpadgett private communication is key
2020-09-15 06:55:08 PM jonismith yes it can be embarrasing for them
2020-09-15 06:55:13 PM dana1 yes it is
2020-09-15 06:55:16 PM srolle okay,
2020-09-15 06:55:17 PM dholmes86 is it because they think you are yelling st them
2020-09-15 06:55:20 PM cchase absolutely - your on the trail of HIPAA
2020-09-15 06:55:22 PM dholmes86 at
2020-09-15 06:55:33 PM lisacomstock I have communicated by writting on paper for those who have difficulty in a noisy area
2020-09-15 06:55:41 PM cchase Speak clearly and articulately, and make eye contact
2020-09-15 06:55:50 PM ahicks Body language
2020-09-15 06:55:52 PM jonismith I write things down for them
2020-09-15 06:56:15 PM jonismith make sure they can see your face and lips at all times
2020-09-15 06:56:16 PM dana1 Use their name so they know you are talking to them
2020-09-15 06:56:19 PM srolle me to joni it helps
2020-09-15 06:56:23 PM cchase . Direct your speech at the individual's face -- not to their side. Do not eat your words: move your mouth and pronounce each word carefully and precisely. When your tongue “dances” inside your mouth when you talk, you articulate more clearly. If your tongue “sleeps” and plays a passive role, you are more likely not articulating as well as you could
2020-09-15 06:56:32 PM perrylori i say stick to the facts no slang. and speak slowly and clearly
2020-09-15 06:56:38 PM chanelrheubottom I have a small whitebored i carry around

2020-09-15 06:56:56 PM jacquelinediego No name should not be giving or posted that's why i said most elderly or residents.
2020-09-15 06:57:13 PM tpadgett I do that and get tounge twisted at times
2020-09-15 06:57:16 PM ahicks Your body language helps to convey your meaning and message
2020-09-15 06:57:16 PM cchase you want to use as much as you can to communicate
2020-09-15 06:57:28 PM lbetts1992 YES

2020-09-15 06:58:03 PM tpadgett I let my residents read what I'm asking them to better understand me at times
2020-09-15 06:58:04 PM jonismith I agree how you approach them even to how you hold your arms
2020-09-15 06:58:18 PM lisacomstock extremlely challenging with mask and shields
2020-09-15 06:58:23 PM cchase Adjust your volume appropriately. There is a difference between enunciating and talking loudly

2020-09-15 06:58:51 PM srolle yes
2020-09-15 06:58:52 PM miguele Many residents hate to be called "Hey girl"..... they said,, we are not girls anymore..
2020-09-15 06:59:08 PM cchase Use clear and precise questions and sentences. Do not hesitate to repeat or rephrase your sentences and questions if you sense there is an absence of comprehension. Complicated questions and sentences may confuse older adults who have short-term memory or hearing loss. Clear and precise constructions are easier to comprehend
2020-09-15 06:59:12 PM miguele that's disrispectful
2020-09-15 06:59:13 PM chanelrheubottom by talking loud you have to be careful because someone the other people think you are yelling at them
2020-09-15 06:59:16 PM ahicks hey girl is so inappropriate
2020-09-15 06:59:22 PM perrylori yes calliing them by their names is important.
2020-09-15 06:59:53 PM cchase always announce your name - each and every single time

2020-09-15 07:00:38 PM perrylori i always say good morning ladies to a group of ladies that are right there when i come in. they feel so important when you address them when walking by
2020-09-15 07:00:44 PM cchase • Use direct questions: "Did you have soup for lunch?" "Did you have salad for lunch?" Instead of: "What did you have for lunch?" The more precise you are in your language, the less difficulty the elderly have in understanding.
2020-09-15 07:01:10 PM dana1 good point
2020-09-15 07:01:21 PM tpadgett No open ended questions they can confuse the person you are talking to
2020-09-15 07:01:22 PM chanelrheubottom they wont feel attacked when you say your name first

2020-09-15 07:01:37 PM tpadgett yes
2020-09-15 07:01:42 PM jonismith agree!
2020-09-15 07:01:46 PM cchase • Reduce the "noise" in your sentences and questions. Limit your sentences and questions to 20 words or less. Don't use slang or filler words and phrases. ("Like," "well," and "you know" are a few examples.) Keep your sentences brief and direct to the point.
2020-09-15 07:02:21 PM dana1 I do like to talk, so that is something I need to work on!
2020-09-15 07:02:22 PM dholmes86 short and simple

2020-09-15 07:02:39 PM cchase • Reduce the "noise" in your sentences and questions. Limit your sentences and questions to 20 words or less. Don't use slang or filler words and phrases. ("Like," "well," and "you know" are a few examples.) Keep your sentences brief and direct to the point.

2020-09-15 07:03:26 PM tpadgett lol
2020-09-15 07:03:28 PM lisacomstock lol
2020-09-15 07:03:31 PM cchase • Avoid the confusion of mixed ideas and questions. Try to define your ideas and questions logically. If you mix ideas, it may be confusing for the older adult to understand. Express one idea and message at a time
2020-09-15 07:03:32 PM srolle ok
2020-09-15 07:03:34 PM jonismith lol
2020-09-15 07:03:44 PM 16380 enter the chat room
2020-09-15 07:03:44 PM perrylori never say remember to them either. Remember i told you that yesterday.
2020-09-15 07:03:53 PM cchase For example, "It is a good idea to call John, your brother. Later, we can call Susan, your sister." A more complicated construction would be: "I think we should call your brother, John, first, and then later we could call your sister, Susan."
2020-09-15 07:03:56 PM dholmes86 yes lori
2020-09-15 07:04:19 PM chanelrheubottom yeah
2020-09-15 07:04:26 PM tpadgett gotta
2020-09-15 07:04:30 PM cchase Employ visual aids, if possible
2020-09-15 07:04:48 PM jonismith visual aide are great
2020-09-15 07:04:48 PM cchase If an older adult has a hearing or memory problem, it is important to be creative. Visual aids help. Show the individual what or who you are talking about.
2020-09-15 07:05:07 PM dana1 If the resident is not undersatnding what I am saying after after a few times, then I try to rephrase it.
2020-09-15 07:05:08 PM tpadgett I use google a lot for that
2020-09-15 07:05:09 PM perrylori yes i find that works well
2020-09-15 07:05:11 PM srolle love it
2020-09-15 07:05:16 PM cchase For example, it may be better to say, "Is there any pain in your back (pointing to your back)? Is there any pain in your stomach (pointing to your stomach)?" instead of simply asking "Do you have any pain or discomfort?
2020-09-15 07:05:18 PM dholmes86 got it
2020-09-15 07:05:42 PM srolle okay
