Diana 0 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hi guys! I had to share with everyone - we just finished our full book survey and for the 4th year in a row I am deficiency free! Praise God!!!! As a whole, the facility only got 3 deficiencies! Not bad - though deficiency free would have benn great!! I must admist, stress levels were high, but the surveyors were great and our team was actually a team during survey - instead of everyone complaining. What a change! Sad news though, I didn't find out about a long time resident's death in the hospital until today (with all the confusion of survey, I missed this key information). He was a difficult resident (younger and hard headed) and I am going to miss him. Have a great weekend everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennie 26 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Diana, CONGTS! to you on a job well done. The stress can become very high during this time and it is so easy for things to slip by. I am sorry for your loss. What can you tell us about the survey? Did they sit in on any 1:1's, group act, speak w/ the council? Did you notice them looking at anything new or different on this survey? Also what state are you in? You know we are a very curious bunch here ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana 0 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 This year, after the group interview with the residents, there was no focus on activities at all. They didn't even witness any of my 1:1's. We even had our new Resident Council President voted in, but no one witnessed that either. They watched Restorative do their Large Group Exercise (which is always a winner), but otherwise, I just made myself available and they saw me on the floor all the time. Kinda nice, but then I am never sure what they are actually watching! They did notice that maintence had one of my heilium tanks ioutside with the oxygen tanks (immediate tag), and then administration called me in to the DON's office to find out why I put it there! I didn't even know we had a second one , besides the one I have locked up in storage for birthday's, etc. Fortunetly, it fell on maintence, but he tried blaming me, until I pointed out that he's the one that calls them to pick it up and I have no access to the oxygen cage outside. Plus, when the last switch was made, I was 7 months pregnant, and in no condition to be pushing around a helium tank. But of course, I was the one that had to call LifeGas to come pick it up - oh well, gotta do what we gotta do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diana 0 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hi - we're in TExas. from what I understand, it is highly dangerous, though I don't know if it can explode or what. Does anyone else know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
