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?
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
I have recently started my new position of Lifestyle Coordinator working with elders. I decided to join Golden Carers membership for activity ideas and chat forums. It has been the most wonderful experience and helped me immensely with the endless ideas and activities, I especially like the monthly Calander templates. It is an invaluable resource!
Thanks!
