Hi Kerry,

I'm sorry but I do not understand what you are asking really.

In my home we have an allocated activities key worker for each resident, as well as HCA and nurses. It is written in a list and on each resident's care plan.

If you mean a activities specific evaluation, NAPA (the UK national association of providers of activities for older persons) have a great one on their published materials.

Also if you are in the UK, there is a big difference between information regarding activities record keeping standards in USA and Australia (shown in the links above) versus the UK and Ireland. Mainly that CQC want "person centered" records with each resident's participation on each activity and do not care about the group evaluation or the activities plan as a whole. Also they want a 4monthly re-evaluation of each resident's activities evaluation and monthly review of their participation.

I hope this helps

What an amazing site with so many activities to stimulate our elderly people and to make them enjoy the togetherness of everything you offer as activities. I am from South Africa, Johannesburg and being part of such a huge "population" of carers having the same Purpose in mind, is a huge priviledge to me! I am the Nursing Manager of a Retirement home and keep on encouraging my residents to participate in this journey made possible by you. Thank you, you are such an inspiration!
