Hi, I am doing preference boards in our patients rooms, what questions have you used to help make staff aware of patient preferences?

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.

I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!
