2018-07-04 06:39:18 PM ahenwood My residents would have a lot of fun with it. And have a band or live music of some sort. They love music
2018-07-04 06:39:23 PM robertambadger i do long term care.. we fed our residents klondike bars today..different kinds and theylived them
2018-07-04 06:40:51 PM ahenwood I am in a skilled nursing facility
2018-07-04 06:40:56 PM robertambadger any music they love..you could even play carnivalmusic..we had a cd that we found..it was a bit tedious after listening awhile though..live much better
2018-07-04 06:41:45 PM robertambadger me too skilled..my residents all have issues..makes it hard to participate in a lot..but we adapt
2018-07-04 06:41:57 PM ahenwood All they want is live music. I have a friend coming this month to play the harp for them. I am so excited for that day
2018-07-04 06:42:18 PM robertambadger the harp is so pretty to listen to
2018-07-04 06:42:47 PM robertambadger i have gotten great ideas from this class
2018-07-04 06:43:27 PM robertambadger are you jumping into Mepap2?
2018-07-04 06:44:19 PM ahenwood My alert and oriented residents get frustrated with the residents who need extra help
2018-07-04 06:44:45 PM robertambadger same..they dont have patience waiting for them to do stuff
2018-07-04 06:44:49 PM ahenwood I plan on it. I feel like if I take even a month off I will wait until the winter to go back
2018-07-04 06:45:02 PM ahenwood the ideas from this class are wondering
2018-07-04 06:45:37 PM ahenwood are you?
2018-07-04 06:46:02 PM robertambadger i have to wait til winter at least too..i coulduse a littlebreak..my boss not going anywhere soon..so its good..hope i dont forget all ive learned
2018-07-04 06:46:13 PM ahenwood I remind them that everyone is there for a reason
2018-07-04 06:46:36 PM robertambadger i remind them to be nice
2018-07-04 06:47:36 PM robertambadger i called a guy resident bossy today because he kept yelling at me totake his sweater off when i was trying to pass out the klondike bars
2018-07-04 06:47:50 PM ahenwood I could use a break but my fiance is going to paramedic school come August so there really is no point in waiting if he will be doing school at the same time
2018-07-04 06:48:29 PM ahenwood wow. patience is key in these facilities. In october I want to do a fall festival but I do not want to call it that.
2018-07-04 06:48:35 PM robertambadger i never called anyone a name before..wow a paramedic..he will need to learn a lot
2018-07-04 06:49:10 PM ahenwood Yes. he will be under a lot of stress and I will barely ever see him which will suck
2018-07-04 06:49:30 PM robertambadger we do a fall festival every year so i dont think the name will change..autumn ??
2018-07-04 06:50:04 PM ahenwood My last facility called it the fall festival and I just want a different name for it.. I dont know I am weird...
2018-07-04 06:50:19 PM robertambadger it will suck but it will be good in long run..hard to see that when you are young!
2018-07-04 06:50:57 PM robertambadger use your name autumn...something??? harvest???IDK
2018-07-04 06:51:00 PM ahenwood I totally understand that

2018-07-20 06:01:30 PM bamatthewspeterson me too!! most certainly a challenge. Are you already an activity diretor?
2018-07-20 06:01:43 PM trisha1903 what state are you in? yes 13 years

2018-07-20 06:03:55 PM bamatthewspeterson very true! Mainers love thier Lobster!
2018-07-20 06:04:09 PM trisha1903 we are doing a carnival with a petting zoo, carnival food, games and prizes
2018-07-20 06:04:41 PM bamatthewspeterson that is great! sounds like a lot of work. where did you find someone to bring in the animals?
2018-07-20 06:05:35 PM trisha1903 There several groups in the out lying areas of Richmond virginia they were actually on facebook that is how I found them good old social media!
2018-07-20 06:06:11 PM bamatthewspeterson utelizing FB is a great idea! honestly I am not a big FB user but should probably get more use to it for those purposes! sounds really fun!
2018-07-20 06:06:21 PM trisha1903 I have gotten some entertainers in our area from FB as well
2018-07-20 06:06:22 PM robertambadger enter the chat room
2018-07-20 06:07:04 PM bamatthewspeterson good idea, I think I will look into using it more often! what are you doing for the carnival portion?
2018-07-20 06:07:09 PM trisha1903 What level of care are you in, I have assisted living memory care and nursing home
2018-07-20 06:07:38 PM trisha1903 cotton candy popcorn corn dogs for food
2018-07-20 06:07:39 PM bamatthewspeterson I was oringinally in assisted living but I now work in a nursing home. There is a huge difference in the two.
2018-07-20 06:07:46 PM trisha1903 bean bag toss
2018-07-20 06:08:11 PM trisha1903 oh no kidding that is a big difference
2018-07-20 06:08:20 PM bamatthewspeterson For our Lobster bake we are having lobster dinners and musical enterainment. Family is allowed to come and purchase a plate as well to join residents.
2018-07-20 06:08:48 PM bamatthewspeterson Yes it is a huge difference. I loved assisted living and enjoy the nursing home but it was a challenging change.
2018-07-20 06:09:08 PM trisha1903 that is wonderful! I so fasicinated by what people do in their state that is different from mine
2018-07-20 06:09:42 PM trisha1903 that is a huge challenge
2018-07-20 06:09:55 PM trisha1903 hi roberta!
2018-07-20 06:10:06 PM bamatthewspeterson It's really fun! Lobster is a big deal here and quite well priced in comparison to other states
2018-07-20 06:10:09 PM bamatthewspeterson Hi Roberta!
2018-07-20 06:10:25 PM trisha1903 I bet
2018-07-20 06:10:52 PM bamatthewspeterson So Roberta, what are you planning for your event?
2018-07-20 06:10:56 PM trisha1903 you can really have some fun decorations for that lobster dinner
2018-07-20 06:11:12 PM bamatthewspeterson You know, that is true! we could make it intersting
2018-07-20 06:11:45 PM bamatthewspeterson I would love to have a petting zoo at our facility like your doing. Our residents love animals for the most part and its a wonderful idea!
2018-07-20 06:12:23 PM trisha1903 we are have pigs races at our carnival we order some in expensive stuff animals from oriental trading
2018-07-20 06:12:42 PM bamatthewspeterson oh my gosh that is great! sounds like so much fun!
2018-07-20 06:12:53 PM trisha1903 its good therapy petting animals
2018-07-20 06:13:05 PM bamatthewspeterson absolutely!
2018-07-20 06:13:08 PM robertambadger left the chat room
2018-07-20 06:13:56 PM bamatthewspeterson So, not sure if were in the right chat or not but either way it is what we need for the practicum
2018-07-20 06:14:12 PM trisha1903 your right
2018-07-20 06:14:27 PM bamatthewspeterson Why did you decide to take this course after 13 years, You must have exprienced so much by now!
2018-07-20 06:15:01 PM robertambadger enter the chat room
2018-07-20 06:15:12 PM trisha1903 well regulations are changing so I wanted to achieve ADC before to long
2018-07-20 06:15:20 PM robertambadger left the chat room
2018-07-20 06:15:40 PM bamatthewspeterson honesty, you would think after 13 years you should be grandfathered! :)
2018-07-20 06:15:50 PM bamatthewspeterson You must have seen it all by now
2018-07-20 06:16:45 PM trisha1903 I know right, but my administrator made the suggestion , i am glad I did after 13 years I needed the refresh
2018-07-20 06:17:28 PM trisha1903 I have seen and heard it all but in my experience I think the resident families are harder to deal with than the resident
2018-07-20 06:17:39 PM bamatthewspeterson It is certainly an informative course! I have only been an AD for 1 year now but have always wanted to be in this profession. I love it!
2018-07-20 06:18:03 PM trisha1903 it is very rewarding
2018-07-20 06:18:23 PM bamatthewspeterson i bet you have! I am finding that MDS, care planning etc is a bit of a challenge since in assisted living I didnt ahve to to that. Still trying to figure it all out.
2018-07-20 06:18:31 PM bamatthewspeterson Yes it is!
2018-07-20 06:19:01 PM trisha1903 you will figure it out then you will be a pro at at
2018-07-20 06:19:15 PM bamatthewspeterson Thanks! I hope so! :)
2018-07-20 06:19:32 PM bamatthewspeterson so when did you begin your planning for the carnival? sounds like a lot of work went into it?
2018-07-20 06:19:55 PM trisha1903 A month ago, we are doing it in august
2018-07-20 06:20:32 PM bamatthewspeterson Excellent! ours is the end of August so still have some details to finley tune for sure
2018-07-20 06:20:47 PM trisha1903 Do you have any assistants?
2018-07-20 06:21:15 PM bamatthewspeterson yes I have 3 assistants. 1 full time, 1 part time and 1 per diem. how about you?
2018-07-20 06:22:04 PM trisha1903 I have 4 full time and 4 part time, I am also in charge of an information desk, transportation, and the hair salon
2018-07-20 06:22:36 PM trisha1903 sometimes I dont know if I am coming or going
2018-07-20 06:22:57 PM bamatthewspeterson wow thats quite a staff, you must have a big facility? I had to deal with transportation with assisted living but not anymore in nursing home. We do have the hairdressing as well to organzie!
2018-07-20 06:23:04 PM bamatthewspeterson Haaa ! I understand that!
2018-07-20 06:23:07 PM trisha1903 120 beds
2018-07-20 06:23:25 PM bamatthewspeterson Its important to ahve a good team. Honestly sometimes my team is more work than the residents!
2018-07-20 06:23:38 PM bamatthewspeterson We have about 75 beds
2018-07-20 06:24:11 PM trisha1903 Oh I have a couple of eeyore's on the team that drive me crazy
2018-07-20 06:24:59 PM trisha1903 they complain when they should be pro active
2018-07-20 06:25:32 PM bamatthewspeterson me too! its very challenging sometimes. My staff can be at each other a bit so I have to deal with that frequently. I also have 1 in particular that complains a lot. it can be exhausting!
2018-07-20 06:26:01 PM bamatthewspeterson do you feel they are helpful with this big acitvity for the most part or is it mostly all you?
2018-07-20 06:26:27 PM trisha1903 I know the negativity drives me nuts, sometimes I wish I could say dont let the door hit you on the way out!
2018-07-20 06:26:39 PM bamatthewspeterson ha! agreed! :)
2018-07-20 06:27:17 PM trisha1903 yes, I make it sound like they came up with the idea which seems to work best
2018-07-20 06:27:18 PM bamatthewspeterson My team at my previous facility worked very well together. This team I have to continually faciliate meetings where they "talk things out"
2018-07-20 06:27:37 PM bamatthewspeterson wow, thats too bad, sounds like your team is a challenge as well
2018-07-20 06:28:09 PM bamatthewspeterson Do you have good participation amongst your residents for the most part?
2018-07-20 06:28:19 PM trisha1903 Oh yes, I have a mixture of young and ones that have been there since the beginning of time
2018-07-20 06:28:29 PM bamatthewspeterson thats great!
2018-07-20 06:28:30 PM trisha1903 so the generation gap is a challenge
2018-07-20 06:28:52 PM trisha1903 yes the residents are great
2018-07-20 06:29:36 PM bamatthewspeterson good! my residents are awesome but they can also fight like children on occassion which can make certain activities challenging
2018-07-20 06:30:15 PM trisha1903 OH yes I have that to , some of just want your undivided attention
2018-07-20 06:30:42 PM bamatthewspeterson Do you feel you have a supportive boss? That can make all the difference
2018-07-20 06:31:11 PM bamatthewspeterson Oh yes! residents can be very demanding for sure, it is a daily challenge
2018-07-20 06:31:59 PM trisha1903 How will they know we were in this chat
2018-07-20 06:32:10 PM bamatthewspeterson I think with all the big activities I plan such as this lobster bake I worry becasuse there is alway someone who is unahappy and its very challenging to please them all.
2018-07-20 06:32:11 PM trisha1903 talking to each other
2018-07-20 06:32:20 PM bamatthewspeterson Oh I think so
2018-07-20 06:32:40 PM bamatthewspeterson I may send Kathy an email tomorrow to let her know that we chatted for the practicum
2018-07-20 06:33:07 PM trisha1903 Let me tell you , you will not please everyone same here

2018-08-11 02:39:08 PM tanea37 I worked in sctivities for two and a half years and my Director i feel like hated me. I guess I challenged her. Our activity department is nothing it should be. we go on an outing maybe once every 4 months. When i question the issue, its a problem. I just want to do right by our residents.

2018-08-13 05:21:25 PM tanea37 when I spoke to my administration she was thrilled to know that I finally took the time to start. Her goals for me is to go further then just the regular classes. She wants me to make big difference and nursing home activities. She would love for me to get the highest level of education that I can recieve. Her exspectations for me are extremely high. I love that about her she allows me to dream big.
