Activity Calendar size,where to purchase atcual custom wall calendar

[buddymom 0]

I am in a brand new facility we do not even have our activity boards up on the walls yet. There are 2 "cottages" one assisted and one memory care. My admin wants a smaller type calendar with a homey feel. 16 residents in each cottage private pay pretty upscale. I have explained that the smaller you go the harder it is to read!(the days of the week) Any ideas for a medium size,I will move stuff around if need be. My last facility longterm was rather large calandar alone 5x3. HELP HELP HELP

Hi

I blow my calendar on the Xerox machine . I make them 11x7 & this is what get placed in the residents room. The as your hanging them up highlight the activities that the resident wants to attend as a reminder. You can also take the calendars to some place like Kinko's have them blow it up to poster size. Hang this up in a central location,

You can also print your calendar one or two pages to a sheet and post that way. I have done "orientation calendars in rooms that way, we just take the top sheet off in the morning to keep our residents on the current day and I get to have a huge reminder for them of the day's activities. I use 1/2 sheets and actually post them all up as my calendar page for the month too. Everyone can read it easier and the residents like the typed pages rather than the hand written ones we had when I first got here.
