Good Morning Deidre, Our facility tick sheet was ineffective as well. I found we revamped it to fit our activities, include grooming , walking, and independent leisure to your list.
Also at the bottom, leave several lined spaces for add in's; for example, "grooming section" could include, nails clipped and filed, hair appointment , electric shaving, lotion pampering ect.
Our tick sheet is just a list of the residents and their room numbers then at the bottom of the page, we have the date and about 4 -5 spaces to write the activities and the time of activity. then with a high ligher pen each activity is given a colour and those attending the activity is highlighted in that colour. By the end of each day you have a clear view of who attend what by the colours. Works a wonder for us. 1:1s can be shown by a dot or a x so it distinguishes them from group activities.
I love Golden Carers it is a fabulous resource. It has made my life so much easier, so that in turn does wonders for my clients. The work that you put in to helping us all is wonderful please don’t give up.
Is it worth the money? You betcha it is. My clients love the quizzes and we have many laughs and it opens up many a thoughtful discussion on life as an older person. I thank you so much when l am stuck for ideas l just jump onto GOLDEN CARERS. Have a great day and keep up the great work.

Hope this helps.
I to am interested in what your tick sheet would look like as I am trying to revamp the one I am using at the moment.
Thanks
