Hi Donna, the Preference Board should contain clients choices on clothing, the method of bathing, dietary choices, snacks between meals, bedtime routine, choice of music, reading material, animals (preferred), favourite leisure activities (solo and in groups), religious affiliation, whether they like the outdoors better than indoors and whether they are interested in community outings. I hope it helps.
Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.
