I have just joined particularly to get a good activity calendar / schedule.

How do i get to see or copy one of these templates? Nothing is opening when I click on an image, print or download only gives me a picture of the whole page.

Talita avatar

Hi Paula,

Thanks for your email. Some of these calendars have been sent in as pictures only, some as publisher files or word documents. If there is one in particular you would like to access, let me know and I can look up what original format we received it in and send this through to you.

We also have word and pdf calendars available here:

Thanks Paula!

there were calendar templates that I have used for April and May that had nice pictures on the bottom. I could choose M-Fri and different formats. I cannot find it on the site anymore. Maybe I forgot where they were hiding? Anyone know what I am talking about?

Talita avatar

Perhaps you mean on this page?

https://www.goldencarers.com/free-activity-calendar-for-seniors/4857/

There are 12 months worth of calendars available in different formats.

Hi everyone, I am about to start a new program for our lower care residents and sun downing residents.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for some activities that I could start with.

Thank you,

Maria

Here is our "Day Respite" program for May. We have Mon-Fri respite and extended programs for our more mobile/independent clients as well as a social group of ID clients (of all ages).

I hope you find this helpful.

Anita avatar

Hi, I find it hard to fit all our activities on our program as our program is open to the whole 90 bed facility. We can have 3-4 activities in the morning and the same again in the afternoon so we are full on. Our shifts are from 9am-5pm though. Thank you for sharing am going to play with a couple of layouts to do our weekly program.

Thank you

hi I've noticed that everyone's calendar is very busy

,I mean so much is written on one day with lots of pictures , does this not get confusing for people to take in . I make sure that my program isn't cluttered and easily read ,

but I suppose it looks pretty with lots of graphics and pictures , do you think this is preferred , I also keep regular activities so people know when something is on by habit , and that goes for my volunteers and other staff . we are all creatures of habits and regularities , this helps for those that are easily confused . hahah including me .

Chant avatar

I believe you are right on the money regarding Calendar layout and all the

graphics!

Heather avatar

HI Rosie

The calendar is more of display and a guide of what activities take place. I have a white board and write the days activities on it for residents staff and families. As activities can change very quickly depending on how our residents are when I arrive each day. I work in high care dementia unit. Hope this helps

Maria avatar

How great all this monthly and weekly calendars are...!

Golden cares you are the best as a team work.

hi

this is a copy of our monthly and weekly program as well as each moth we send out a summary of the big thingd happening in month on the back of the weekly program.

Vicky avatar

Here's our weekly one, I have a 5 week rolling template for activity schedules and about mid month we have a meeting and adjust or change activities for the next month. We print them on A3 and put up on notice boards throughout the centre for viewing weekly. We also write on the whiteboard in dining rooms of each days activities. Hope this helps.

Hope this template will you on weekly calendar. Cheers

Can someone post a 7 day week (Mon - Sun) Monthly calendar template. I already have my Mon to Friday program, but we are now going to Mon - Sun & I am having trouble making it fit in.

Thank you Loreta, I really like your program.

This has given me some ideas on how to improve on my own.

Loreta avatar

Thank you Talita. I tried to changed my activity monthly as much as I can so Residents will not get bored. Is anyone can suggest here where I can get the chair exercises for elderly for reasonable price. I had 2 dvd's running for one year now and I couldnt find any cheaper. You know our budget are very limited.

Talita avatar

Thank you Trudy that sounds like a fabulous idea.

Trudy avatar

Hi Talita

Our visiting phsiotherapist devised exercises for the residents and spoke the instructions of each exercise as hse recorded them on a CD. Lucky for us her husband is a music teacher so he played the music to them all old time and the residents love it. When I worked with dementia residents they would do the exercises and sing a long. Just an idea if you could get someone to make a CD for you.

Talita avatar

Thanks for sharing this Loreta - your activity calendar looks fantastic!

Loreta avatar

I know how hard to think which activity will work with the residents. Hope my monthly calendar will help to others RAO

This is my latest program for our dementia unit *** see downloads ***. All residents have a copy in their rooms and an A3 size is also displayed in the main living areas. I try to make it visually interesting. Hope it helps. I'm lucky i have good team support as i am fairly new to RAO and have not done the course as yet.
