Hi how's everybody? any one could help me. I am a current student taking a Activity Assistant course here in Canada. anyone could help me how to do Resource Manual Outlline.
Hi Richard I assume you want me to comment I need to of these Steps in and observed activity modification Observe the activity See the residents response to the activity Are they able to do the activity Are they paying attention Are they engaged in the activity Are the residents getting along Are the residents interacting with other residents and staff When the activity is over do the residents seem happy Are they talking about the activity after it is over Are they complaining about the activity
Example of how to modify an activity If the activity is too difficult for the residents to follow what is going on Break it down into simpler steps If the residents can’t see some thing make it bigger
Modified for safety reasons Residents are eating the supplies Use different supplies
I am sure you could see what a particular facility does during a fire drill It depends on the facility
If there is an emergency during the activity Above all keep the resident safe Report the incident to the immediate supervisor and wait for instructions Safety precautions during an activity Make sure the area is free of clutter Make sure there is enough space If serving food follow of the residents diet Wipe up spills as they occur Hi Richard there are probably more but that’s all I could think of at the moment Let me know if you need more detail
thank you so much susan. i wish i received your comment before i submitted my assignments. it is a great idea. i already did and submitted my assignment and i got 100% thank you.
Sit beside a resident who is cognitively impaired, watch and listen to them. Try to be in their space. Write about how it felt to not engage with the individual, and just to be present.
Now think of something to do with them that you think will bring them comfort. Engage with the person. Write about the engagement and how it felt. Consider what was surprising about the interaction. What did you learn about yourself from this interaction?
Thank you so much for reliable and wonderfully presented resources for all occasions. A must-go to for all working in Aged Care homes. Our team at Parkview Aged care Home are always finding inspiration from your website. Thank you!
