2020-11-05 07:31:54 PM thomasodougherty There is no specific FTag for culture change, but there are a handful that it could fall under.
2020-11-05 07:32:38 PM thomasodougherty I'm not sure if any of you have had the FTag list shared with you, but assuming you haven't. This link -> ( https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Provider-Enrollment-and-Certification/GuidanceforLawsAndRegulations/Downloads/List-of-Revised-FTags.pdf ) will take you to the break down of all of them.

2020-11-05 07:35:42 PM thomasodougherty Heritage plays a role. I like the phrase "person directed".
2020-11-05 07:35:43 PM debrabryan CULTURE CHANGE WHERE PEOPLE ARE LIVING LONGER AND NEED HELP
2020-11-05 07:36:33 PM thomasodougherty It's not so much a change of who you are. I could see how that could certainly be an aspect of it though.
2020-11-05 07:36:45 PM thomasodougherty It also isn't necessarily requiring care.
2020-11-05 07:36:46 PM byefelicia cultural change can be a change in classification
2020-11-05 07:37:12 PM rdonatien quality of care provided, an example may be person-centered care or whole person care/services provided
2020-11-05 07:37:15 PM thomasodougherty An example of culture change is as follows:
2020-11-05 07:37:18 PM jmeza75 sthe shift to peson centered care
2020-11-05 07:37:32 PM debrabryan FAMILIES DO NOT LIVE TOGETHER LIKE THEY DID SO CULTURES HAVE CHANGED SO THERE IS A GREAT NEED FOR CARE FOR THE ELDERLY
2020-11-05 07:37:33 PM jmeza75 the shift to person centered care
2020-11-05 07:37:48 PM thomasodougherty An individual who lives in rural Mississippi relocates to New York City.

2020-11-05 07:40:12 PM thomasodougherty All of the things that make New York City, New York City and the things that make Mississippi, Mississippi are a part of the cultures of those places.
2020-11-05 07:40:15 PM jford124 isnt anything that effects or changes your basic way of life a culture change
2020-11-05 07:40:32 PM thomasodougherty In so many ways; yes.

2020-11-05 07:41:12 PM thomasodougherty Let's narrow it down a little more. Can you imagine a culture change that might take place when one lives in a large single family home and has to move into one of our Nursing Facilities?

2020-11-05 07:42:09 PM lboffeli change in schedule, accomodation to new neighbors, diversity, and the emotional attachement you have to give up

2020-11-05 07:43:17 PM rdonatien a major shift occurs
2020-11-05 07:43:18 PM julienorrisspeck running on someone else's schedule is probably the worst part
2020-11-05 07:43:32 PM byefelicia I agree with julie

2020-11-05 07:44:37 PM lboffeli yes
2020-11-05 07:45:10 PM byefelicia Yes, moving from Brooklyn, New York to the south was a culture shock for me. I don't like to drive and in NYC i rode the subway everywhere. I also walked a lot
2020-11-05 07:45:31 PM lboffeli Moving from a large town to a small town of 200 people. I had to adjust to the culture change of every person knowing you, your family and just showing up at your house at any given moment. I had to adjust to rural over urban fast pace lifestyle.
2020-11-05 07:45:51 PM greenmj86 When i became a state tested nursing assistant my first job was at a severe mrdd facility. The difference in the way these kids lived they lives shocked me.
2020-11-05 07:46:09 PM byefelicia changing jobs was also a culture shock. I relocated here and worked in an environment where many of my co-workers were young enough to be my children and they had not respect for authority or experience.
2020-11-05 07:46:20 PM debrabryan WELL, I GUESS WHEN I WAS IN ITALY, SOMETHINGS WERE ACULTURE SHOCK - LIKE THE RESTROOMS!!
2020-11-05 07:46:30 PM thomasodougherty How did these changes make you feel?
2020-11-05 07:46:32 PM julienorrisspeck my biggest culture shock was meeting someone who has never really interacted with a biracial person such as myself. I honestly did not realize that some people were raised in towns where there are not many people from different ethnicities. I grew up in colorado springs, CO next to a military base so it has always been a norm for me
2020-11-05 07:46:54 PM yvettemlopez i like how i feel now
2020-11-05 07:47:10 PM byefelicia I felt like changing jobs and I did.
2020-11-05 07:47:14 PM lhalfacre I have experienced depression after moving out of my 3 bedroom colonial to a mobile home to be closer to my mother
2020-11-05 07:47:40 PM thomasodougherty Depression is a common emotion associated with culture change.
2020-11-05 07:47:41 PM lboffeli I felt a change in myself. I was struggling to the change of pace, I was constantly bored looking for something to ddo
2020-11-05 07:47:44 PM rdonatien sure. I move from NY to GA w/out a car. Getting around was difficult for a longtime. No transit system in NW GA at the time, not much has changed...lol they nuances of language was difficult, learning to understand the cultural relationships w/language and location was interesting.
2020-11-05 07:47:53 PM lboffeli A lot of anxiety
2020-11-05 07:48:01 PM thomasodougherty Anxiety for sure!
2020-11-05 07:48:03 PM jford124 excitement to try new things
2020-11-05 07:48:05 PM lhalfacre I also gave up a $25 an hour job a and settled for an $12 an hour job to be closer to my mother
2020-11-05 07:48:18 PM rdonatien definitely anxiety...
2020-11-05 07:48:21 PM byefelicia I can related to the drop it pay lhalfacre
2020-11-05 07:48:46 PM julienorrisspeck I definitely made a conscious effort to recognize differences in all people and realize that we are not all raised the same exact way and what may be weird to me may not be weird at all to others
2020-11-05 07:48:56 PM thomasodougherty Sounds like some sacrifice was made along with the culture change. There are levels there beyond just moving from point A to point B.
2020-11-05 07:49:10 PM thomasodougherty Well said, Julie.
2020-11-05 07:49:14 PM thomasodougherty That's where we come in.
2020-11-05 07:49:23 PM debrabryan I AGEE WITH YOU, JULIENORRISPECK
2020-11-05 07:49:35 PM lboffeli ABSOLUTELY AGREE JULIE!!
2020-11-05 07:49:41 PM yvettemlopez yes!!!!
2020-11-05 07:49:57 PM lhalfacre agree
2020-11-05 07:50:08 PM byefelicia Agree as well Julie
2020-11-05 07:50:13 PM thomasodougherty We are all gathered here with one central goal, but we all likely come from vastly different cultures.
2020-11-05 07:50:15 PM lboffeli Also during my move my husband and I became pregnant which is a huge culture change
2020-11-05 07:50:20 PM thomasodougherty That is no different in a Nursing Facility.
2020-11-05 07:50:35 PM rdonatien agreed
2020-11-05 07:50:40 PM byefelicia Congrats lboffeli
2020-11-05 07:50:47 PM debrabryan YES SO TRUE
2020-11-05 07:51:02 PM thomasodougherty Our Residents all come from different walks of life and most of them likely didn't come from a long line of Nursing Facilities.
2020-11-05 07:51:11 PM lboffeli just as in a nursing home we had to accomodate for another person to join our household, sharing items with and changing schedule to accomodate our newest addition
2020-11-05 07:51:40 PM thomasodougherty It is our job to identify those differences and help to accomodate those individuals so that culture change isn't so drastic.
2020-11-05 07:51:51 PM lhalfacre I have witnessed personally, my mother is in a nursing home I currently work at. I get to see daily the changes in her.
2020-11-05 07:51:54 PM rdonatien of course
2020-11-05 07:52:04 PM thomasodougherty However, you will also likely come across individuals who admit and feel more at home on their first day than you do after years of working there.
2020-11-05 07:52:10 PM lboffeli I as well get to relate to watching family change moving into a nursing home.
2020-11-05 07:52:11 PM julienorrisspeck a good way to do that is personalizing their environment!
2020-11-05 07:52:35 PM lboffeli every person adapts differently to change
2020-11-05 07:52:47 PM thomasodougherty What have you noticed as far as changes in your loved ones?
2020-11-05 07:52:50 PM melveniag they do
2020-11-05 07:52:52 PM julienorrisspeck iboffeli: so true!!
2020-11-05 07:52:52 PM byefelicia right, by personalizing the environment, they have a sense of being in their old environment
2020-11-05 07:52:53 PM thomasodougherty If you don't mind sharing.
2020-11-05 07:52:55 PM yvettemlopez its nice when its like a family in the facility
2020-11-05 07:53:21 PM greenmj86 My sister is bipolar so there is always differences
2020-11-05 07:53:47 PM lhalfacre My mother is starting to act more childish. She acts out if she does not get her way now.
2020-11-05 07:53:48 PM byefelicia when my grandmother was placed in a care facility, she became very violent to the staff members and would fight other residents. She was never a violent person
2020-11-05 07:53:52 PM lboffeli my loved one persnally has had a significant increase in confusion asking for their car, decrease in appetitie
2020-11-05 07:53:59 PM thomasodougherty I should emphasize here, that all changes are not always "culture" changes.
2020-11-05 07:54:03 PM tamirudd enter the chat room
2020-11-05 07:54:12 PM greenmj86 Here moods vary daily she has to stay active to keep a stable mind
2020-11-05 07:54:21 PM debrabryan I LOST MY MOM UNEXPECTLY 1 1/2 YRS AGO , MY DAD IS A TOTAL MESS - DEPRESSED, ANGRY HE IS NOT THE SAME PERSON THAN BEFORE MY MOM PASSED
2020-11-05 07:54:25 PM tamirudd Hi
2020-11-05 07:54:27 PM melveniag right
2020-11-05 07:54:29 PM lhalfacre She lived alone for 25 years and it is hard for her to share a living space now.
2020-11-05 07:54:34 PM thomasodougherty Pregnancies (congratulations) aren't a change to one's culture, because in most every culture pregnancies are common place.
2020-11-05 07:55:07 PM thomasodougherty Mental Health Issues, while they can be difficult to manage in any environment, is not a culturally specific matter.
2020-11-05 07:55:14 PM rdonatien how we welcome each individual makes the difference in their adaptation to the changes they experience living in nursing homes. talking with many of our residents, I have learned that many never thought that they would move in with stangers, yet some planned for the experience.
2020-11-05 07:55:23 PM yvettemlopez yes
2020-11-05 07:55:27 PM byefelicia being placed in a care faciility was not a great experience for my grandmother at the age of 86, she lived along after my granddad passed and always managed to take care of herself.
2020-11-05 07:55:33 PM thomasodougherty Culture is specific to certain areas/regions/countries/etc.
2020-11-05 07:55:47 PM julienorrisspeck Ihafacre: definitely understandable for her not to be able to adjust to sharing spaces now, especially after living alone for so long
2020-11-05 07:55:52 PM lboffeli decrease in appetite, weight loss, decrease in confusion, and less socialable for of an introvert now
2020-11-05 07:56:37 PM greenmj86 I feel the way woman in different culture celebrate pregnancy can be a culture change
2020-11-05 07:56:55 PM lboffeli my loved one has also experienced less energy to do what they love. Don't garden anymore, baking, or sewing
2020-11-05 07:57:20 PM thomasodougherty Thank lboffeli and byefelicia for sharing. You gave great examples on responses to a change in one's culture.Anger, confusion, frustration are definitely responses.
2020-11-05 07:57:40 PM byefelicia sounds like my grandma, she no longer did those things, and she didn't like the activities that were offered there because she was used to being mobile and driving herself
2020-11-05 07:57:48 PM thomasodougherty Agreed, HOW pregnancies are addressed is culturally specific, but not specifically being pregnant.
2020-11-05 07:57:55 PM rdonatien Change in use of language
2020-11-05 07:58:01 PM yvettemlopez my great grandma is on hospic as we speach and it seems like she is not even in there any more'
2020-11-05 07:58:23 PM lhalfacre I noticed that many residents start to isolate themselves.
2020-11-05 07:58:51 PM lboffeli Especially with our culture change now isoloation is very common in the nursing home I work in now
2020-11-05 07:59:01 PM lboffeli referring to COVID
2020-11-05 07:59:15 PM thomasodougherty A lot of you have touched on emotions, which are very important.
2020-11-05 07:59:17 PM melveniag yes
2020-11-05 07:59:18 PM byefelicia I truly believe there are ways to prevent isolation with the residents
2020-11-05 07:59:30 PM lhalfacre Sometimes it is a challenge to get them to participate
