Found In: ›Activities ›Articles ›Care Plans
If you ask most activity professionals what their least favorite part of the job is, they will say the documentation. It is part of our job to make sure that activities and attendance are recorded accurately.
In this article we cover:
- Types of documentation
- Why should you document activities
- "If it's not documented it didn't happen"
- Who documents what?
- Easier ways to manage documentation

We just got a "tablet" for our Activities group and we love having Golden Cares downloaded on it! It saves so much on photocopies and continues to make our day better:) Thank you!
