Personally I would benefit from note taking training and tips. Otherwise it would always be beneficial just to meet with others in a similar role to compare notes and toss ideas around. I work in two very small facilities and having a network would help tenfold.
Would also like some guidance around writing progress notes. Only have my own template currently, which I created myself. I feel like it covers most things but the actually note taking can be minimal with either yes/no or 1/2 word responses. It includes; Activity: Date/Time: Location: Attendance: Alert/Attentive: Ability to follow instructions: Interactions/Participation: Mood/Level of enjoyment: Notes:
Hi All, We hold a Staff, Residents and Relatives Meeting every 6 months at our facility and I like to run an activity afterwards including the family members. Last meeting I ran an activity on reminiscing, using Life Books and a reminiscing card/questions game. Our next meeting coming up I'd like to base my activity around re-connecting and maybe play some quick games on 'how well we know each other'. Wondering if anyone else has done/had success with any games/activities like this or surrounding this topic? All suggestions/ideas welcome. Thank you.
Hi Nicole, I had a co-worker bring in this gorgeous book called Wilfred Gordon McDonald Partridge. Although it is a children's book, I'm confident the residents will enjoy it. A beautiful story they can relate to and hopefully have a laugh about. Otherwise I find they enjoy well-known poems, daily news articles or we have even read chapter books- the best been a book which was a compilation of letters from a POW in WWll. That way they didn't necessarily have to keep up with the story line as each chapter was a new letter and a new topic. Hope this is helpful. Happy reading!
I love the Golden Carers. It has helped me in all aspects of my job. Imagine life without Golden Carers .... nope... I can't. Thank you for your fantastic resources. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!
