Does the assisted living need individual care plan?

To get residents to go to activties, What usually works is that when you walk into the residents room you give a smile for the whole time you are there. Then you compliment the residents. Tell her how good she looks, her dress is nice, the color of her/his clothes is wearing fits him/her. After the compliments you will say something to make resident laugh then you will ask nicely if resident would like to join you in activity program. This always work for me.

At my facility we have spa, Its almost like grooming. During spa program when I see that one of the residents hair in my group is messy I would fix the residents hair. But I wouldnt put make up on them as part of my activity program.
