I was recently put in charge of the activity department for our nursing home(s) and post-acute rehabilitation facility, in addition to our assisted living facility. I have an employee that is having a difficult time completing assessments in a timely manner. Does any one have a helpful form or method that they use to track when assessments are due that I can pass along?

Thanks!

Hi Phoenix,

We used to record the quarterly Assessment online but I would guess that the hard copy would be similar. The form should have a concise recapitulation of the resident's activities in the past three months as follows :

Title: Quarterly Assessment

Identification information of the resident: Name, room number

Social activities/interaction - average participation

Physical pursuits

Religious aspirations

Alterability and frequency of behaviour symptoms, if any.

Emotional upheavals, if any.

Visitors: family friends - emotional expression

Illnesses, if it affected activity participation

So long, I hope it helps.

Where I work I was given a list from the MDS nurse and from the CRC nurse so I knew which assessments had to be done and when

I passed this along to the assistans in charge of the people on the list and then I checked to make sure that they were done

Actually the nurses told me and them if they were delinquent on any of the assessments
