Hey All,
I am pretty new to this myself but this is something that I think I have improved since I got here. I have each long term residents activity participation for the whole year on one sheet. I also made a folder for each resident that includes theiractivity assessment, care plan and activity participation. It is really simple but so organized and it seems to be working great here. If anyone is interested send me an email and I can shoot you over a copy of my resident participation sheets...Janice_Major@beverlycares.com. Or they were really easy to make I just created a chart in microsoft word with 31 columns(days of the month) and 12 rows(months). Then at the end of the chart I made a key such as C=coffee hour, M=movie time...1=active, 2=passive etc. I hope this helps!

Hi, we went through so many forms over the years
Now we use our monthly calendar and put each residents name on a calendar. We have all our programs on the cal and I add a 1-1 spot on each day to record 1-1's. We just highlight each program that they attend. Much easier to eye ball at the end of the month which programs each resident comes to.
Every three months we tally all the programs in the past three months and how many times they attended each program. It sure is an eye opener on what residents slip between the cracks.
Overall this process is less time consuming than alot we tried over the years and you can see at a glance who is getting missed.
Hope this helps
Linda :-)

Evening everyone.....
I am also interested in easier documentation, I am doing the calander highlighting, but I am trying to incorporate the residents progress notes on it if possible. I would be interested in any facilities forms that you are using that you dont mind sharing. I was put in the Activity Dir. position after our past AD had a stroke and therefor I have not had any mentorship to assist me.

I would appreciate any feed back possible

My email.......justokfine2000@yahoo.com or fax # 254/582/2479

Thanks

Question for the folks who highlight calendars:

Sounds good, but how do you track the independant activities such as crossword puzzles, reading, internet use, watches tv, etc? I would like to get rid of the attendance form if we could find a way to get that tracked.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have been an AD for 3 years. We are always changing documentation and participation sheets whenever someone new in administation comes in. I would like any ideas that would make it easier for me. Please e-mail to Judy7Mimi @aol.com Thanks

:-D Hi! I am using calendar highlighting and then writing in the independent activities. I then use my progress notes for any other things that need to be mentioned such as active or passive participation, how the resident spends most of day if he/she prefers to stay in room, etc. I am looking for new assessment forms right now because mine are horrible! They are not specific on types of activities or what kind of emotional basis they are in at the time or how their attention span is on interview or anything like that. Kinda hard to write a care plan with half the information i need not on the sheet...If anyone happens to have a good assessment sheet for initial/quarterly/yearly please let me know! I am also looking for forms for most everything else. My e-mail is cld2599@yahoo.com
Thanks!!!!
