In other words are they physically capable getting to and from the Activity
Do they need reminders
How many residents are we talking about
I always had staff to help me
I will be writing an article about getting reluctant residents to an activity
Be on the lookout for it

I would always make sure to talk with the charge nurse before each shift. They can bring it up in their team meeting, and I would always have the staff to help. Though I have worked in places where the staff wasn't as engaged - In this case, I would tell and ask the aids and nurses on the floor directly, which helped build a repour with the staff, too.

Susan - what a great article idea. I look forward to reading it!
