First I looked at their social history to see what time they generally used to get up. Then I started a rise and shine club. Around the time they used to get up I had the RCA's go in and say good morning, "It is going to be a beautiful day." Then I would have them open the shade a little so some light and the resident could see it is day time. The RCA would leave and come back 5- 10 minutes later and talk to the resident and motivate them to get up. Today for breakfast we are having, it smells so good. Things like that. I hope it helps.
So glad I found you, your site is such a blessing to me 😊. I have been a PCA for 17 yrs. I am in charge of making up the monthly calendar and coming up with new ideas. It was starting to be a real challenge. I encourage all my residents to join in daily but they need new things offered to hold their interest. So glad I took a chance and signed up with you!!! You're making my job a lot easier. Thank you and keep up the great work !! It's so appreciated.
