Hello =) What does everyone use to do in-services or how do you train your staff (like orientation)? I have nothing set... I usually train them myself and show them, but maybe I am doing something wrong. Any help, thoughts, suggestions, insight I will gladly take at this time. I'm about to pull my hair out

And I made up my own training but I don’t have it any longer

In general think about a typical day for the activity assistant

What do you want them to be able to do??

Do you want to make sure they set up the activity before it actually starts and get as many residents as possible to participate

You also want them to clean up after the activity

They need to know about documentation

This article may I help you

This article is mainly aimed at

Activity directors but some of the documentation is done by the activities staff

If you want to share the training you have come up with I am sure it would be helpful to you and others

Let us know how it goes

Thanks

I was recently given an assistant to train and as well as doing on the job training I used articles that have appeared on this website in relation to topics that may have come up in conversation during the day. Have a look under resources also.
