Good Morning Deidre, Our facility tick sheet was ineffective as well. I found we revamped it to fit our activities, include grooming , walking, and independent leisure to your list.
Also at the bottom, leave several lined spaces for add in's; for example, "grooming section" could include, nails clipped and filed, hair appointment , electric shaving, lotion pampering ect.
Our tick sheet is just a list of the residents and their room numbers then at the bottom of the page, we have the date and about 4 -5 spaces to write the activities and the time of activity. then with a high ligher pen each activity is given a colour and those attending the activity is highlighted in that colour. By the end of each day you have a clear view of who attend what by the colours. Works a wonder for us. 1:1s can be shown by a dot or a x so it distinguishes them from group activities.
I was hesitant at first to sign up for another website for activities, but I have been pleasantly surprised. It has been fun to search all you have to offer and during Covid-19 your site has helped me and our other Life Enrichment Coordinator so much. I truly appreciate all you do and provide. It just gets better all the time. Our residents love the word searches because they are so bold and clear. We have used many of your ideas and I’m so grateful! Thank you!

Hope this helps.
I to am interested in what your tick sheet would look like as I am trying to revamp the one I am using at the moment.
Thanks
