I think the social worker should help you with this you don't want it to turn into a complaining session and you don't want to talk about specific residents Who is asking for the meeting??? Do they want you to cover certain topics ??? Is this something you're doing before your annual survey so you can get all the issues that might be brought up at the survey out in the open ???? Is this something to promote your facility ????
Hi, Sherlene, the agenda depends on the Activity Program, concerns of residents/Family and improvements sought for the facility. Here is one way to do it, it may give you some food for thought. All the best of luck. Family Council Meeting Agenda 1. Look at the agenda of last month and go through what was achieved and what is pending. Review and postpone any unresolved issues for the next meeting 2. Sort out input on Agenda and prioritize them (input by staff/family and other committee members) 3. Discuss week/monthly events - schedule dates, time, responsibility share, designate tasks to staff and volunteers 4. Listen to members’ general concerns and identify and define problem from residents’ perspective 5. Encourage family members to suggest new activities and improvements e.g. outings/special events/how better to connect with the community/educational topics sessions and other projects 6. Compile a list of action steps for concerns and suggestions. Do they need further investigation or can a solution be recommended? 7. Type the minutes of the meeting for distribution (if needed).
I co-own and operate a small assisted living home in Pittsfield, NH (U.S.A.). We consistently seek ways to improve upon our senior activity program, providing a diversified balance of a purposeful and enjoyable time of recreation, crafting, exercise and others to reach all of our residents. I must say, it's been a challenge. This past October I began researching options online and came across your site, subscribing for a year to see what you were all about. Let me tell you, you have not disappointed! Your site is a priceless resource that we are extremely thankful for. We find a significant increase in resident participation and look forward to the new ideas that each month brings. Our residents love the changes!
