RSC Monthly Bulletin

March 2020

Updates and Changes:

All staff are encouraged to telework on Tuesdays and Thursdays and work on site Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
If you have specific questions about your schedule, please reach out.
This schedule will continue until 4/9/2020 at which point we will re-review.

Status checks for post hospitalization, ER visits, and rehab stays must be done as soon as possible via telephone.
Initial visits for new residents can be done via a telephone appointment with a Welcome Packet dropped off at the unit with a Confidentiality Agreement
Annual Updates can be done via telephone with a note indicating that the assessment was done on the phone due to social distancing requirements related to the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic. A follow-up home visit will be done immediately following the end of health concerns.

Because you will not see the resident, you must be sure to ask about the unit, any new equipment, or any concerns that you would otherwise make note of visually

Now that we are teleworking 2 days per week, EHM will be providing a $40 cell phone stipend for each month that teleworking occurs. For the month of March, please submit an expense report to me this week for the stipend.
I've attached a blank Site report with the cell phone stipend filled in so you can see where it goes and the general format. You can access that here.
Please remember to include your site splits in the NOTES section.

Programs must now be entered followed by program attendance.
Program Attendance will create a Service Log for the program
Please note that the resident attended the program
Non-participants will be included and will not count as a service log for non-participants as long as the note clearly indicates that service is a program (much like service logs for assessments on non-participants)

Looking Forward to April:

I will be out of the office the week of April 13-17 for Spring Break (not that we're going anywhere!) as the girls will be home from home-school. Charlie and Marlene are available as needed, please continue to utilize each other as needed.
That week is a timesheet week so I will be checking the ADP system while out. Please make sure to inform Charlie and Marlene of any unexpected call-outs and enter them into the ADP system. Please request any planned time off prior to me being out.

April's Reports will be due Tuesday, April 28th … this change is just in case we are continuing to telework on Tuesdays as that would be a better day for completing reports.
