Hi Kate I am in the middle of doing cert Iv in aromatherapy by online course it is fairly expensive,,I spoke to my facility manager and explained the benefits it could have for nursing home residents. They gave me a scholarship payed by the company...put it to your manager. Try AIAS.com.au. For information
our facility changed to recording this on the pc a few years ago but recently changed back to checking off manually. 1 form x 40 residents filled out daily. not sure what i'd prefer ??
hi julie , i use a monthly sheet one for each person i have mine on our IT system really easy to use and it is great for evidence base and it is measurable you can easily see if there are anyone missing out you can easily pick up the gaps it's great for accreditation and great for care plan reviews .
We currently use a monthly form, (by 80 residents) but I am thinking a daily form with each resident on that form would be more productive. It would use less paper, and you would be able to check off each activity daily as you go. Also good for viewing what activities are well attended or not. Opinions please welcome.
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!!!!!
