Hi Everyone, how do you write quarterly progress notes ? Sample please..

We do ours on the computer. We basically just comment on what the resident has been involved in/done for that evaluation period. e.g." Fred enjoys playing bingo, bus outings, quizzes, current affairs and happy hour. Fred also attend weekly mass and enjoys reading the newspaper. Fred interacts well with residents and staff and has family visits and support." Hope this helps.

hi,

We do the same sort of thing as Louise . However I think it is important to ensure it ties back to your activity care plan, and or their individual activity assessment to ensure activities are recorded and reflect their wishes in their activity pursuits.

It's really wonderful to see our clients so engaged with the puzzles and word searches, the Trivia is really popular and our participants get a buzz out of getting the answers correct. Golden Carers is our "Go To" resource on a weekly basis and it is rewarding for our working day to add it to our activity programs.

Nine Letter Word Puzzles

I'm about to start a new job as an activity coordinator and one of my ladies loves the nine letter word puzzles in the newspaper so I thought I'd make her some.

Sort the Colours

I saved various coloured milk bottle tops until I had enough to use for this activity. Its great for visually impaired and dementia clients. The clients gain a sense of self esteem and satisfaction plus it helps with fine motor skills.

Whiteboard Word Quiz

We choose a letter of the alphabet and use that letter to try and get as many words as we can. We use different amounts of numbers each time eg 4 letter words starting B another time it might be 5 letter words starting with C.

I just love love love this site - each time I'm glued to the many and awesome ideas to engage with our seniors. I recently downloaded some of the crossword puzzles and these seniors are fabulous to work with. That is just the tip of the iceberg. In this new chapter of my life, as semi-retired, I am so enjoying my time with seniors and watching them light up; I feel I've found a new niche. It's extremely gratifying. As to the cost of membership, it came out of my pocket - I rationalised that it was only about $3/month, less than many magazines. So keep up the GREAT work!!! Thanks again Golden Carers!!!!!
