I am just wondering if any of you has a formal assessment tool that you use to allow a resident to use an electric wheelchair inside the facility. I never had a resident use one since I started working in LTC. And if you can also provide me a sample ...

I hope things are getting better for you. 4 weeks sounds appropriate unless you really can't stand it.

Thanks everyone for all your input. I have not made a P and P yet. I am very well concern with the safety of this patient and of course that rest of my residents, so I am very careful in making the decision. I involved my rehab director in this matte...

I have an interview for a don position for a snf with 206 cert med beds. I'm not really sure if this is the right bldg to start as a new DON. I have 6 yrs of Ltc exp and currently working as mds coordinator for a smaller facility. Prior to that I wor...

thanks for the reply talino. yes it was coded as start of therapy as well

The transitioning process is pretty ugly no matter how prepared our company is. We had atleast 3 workshop and conferences re: the mds 3.0, about 5 webinars and consultants in and out of our bldg, added man power, name it and still we've got some setb...
