I just LOVE the multicultural section of this fabulous website. I work as a Activities Director at a day service facility and we are currently closed due to COVID! I am mailing/delivering personalized packages to our clients. We have clients of many different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Adding pages of color-printed information from their country really brightens their day. The family members/care givers are delighted to see a spark in their loved ones eyes when they see and read about their history. I am becoming so educated myself learning all this. It will help me when we get back to work striking a spark in our clients eye when I reminisce with them about their culture. I seriously can NOT get enough of this fantastic site. xoxo :-)

Our residents are frequently exhibit a significant change which triggers a CAA, the CAA worksheet, really focus (to me) if there is a new admit that triggers in Activities. So here is the questions:
1, Example CAA for a S/C on an existing resident.
2. CAA fro new resident that triggers for Activity.

Look at this article too especially numbers seven through 10

I think you need to give a resident a few weeks to settle in before seeing if the CAA is necessary
However you need to follow the guidelines of your facility
I have found thatCAAs are not necessary that often
