melanietapp 0 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I was in Activities for 5 years (5 years ago) and a lot of things have changed since I was in the game. I started back in December, and I'm looking for new Activity Participation Forms to encorporate. I'm not a fan of the forms my building is using. They were created by a former director. I've looked at Med Pass forms and like them.. but feel like there should be a space to write in specific items. What you are you all using? Are you creating your own? Are you using a standardized form? We currently put a copy of our calendar in the chart and highlight the resident's participation, as well as fill out a form. I do want to continue the highlighting method for our use, because it makes it so easy to see who is doing what. However our "legal" charting forms, I'm not happy with. Help!! feel free to email me samples of what you are using! mtbrighton@bellsouth.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBalzumati 0 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I've been in this field now for around 2 years and the hardest thing for me in the job is getting men to come to activities. Does anyone have any ideas, good ideas to get them to activities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
