If needing to avoid HIPPA violations I am thinking maybe a person could make something similar but have them in a binder....so aides could reference but it not be out for the public eye. (?) Just a thought.
I love the idea, however, could this potentially be a HIPA violation? I realize that they could only be out at meal times but sometimes the residents sit with other residents. Just wondering...
Thanks for your comments Dixie. As this member was originally submitted by a member in Australia I just thought I would clarify what that HIPAA is the "American Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act". The Australian equivalent is the Privacy Act 1988.
Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity and I always pick a very shy resident to take a part. It is amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.
