We only send out weekly diary,. these are given out to each resident on a Friday afternoon, and also emailed to all staff and residents sponsor. We have a large weekly printout in the main Lounge, and a4 print out on main foyer notice board( it is 2 pages with pictures). Many entertainers send out posters so this go up the week begin. if i want the care team to bring certain individuals i put the event and info in the care team diary. the care team also have a copy of the weekly diary and they read out the daily going ons at the handovers. Emailing the diary's to family has really helped and i often get family messages to ask if i can remind mum or dad about .... and also so the family can come and join in with things- or not come to take their relative out if they want to join in the session. hope this helps X

I have been in this field for close to 15 years. I came across your website initially because I was searching for a shared, personal forum with other professionals in my field that was not attached to random advertising and monthly fees. After discovering your website which hosted a forum that was exactly what I was looking for, as well as providing a mountain of resources that didn’t require you to follow several external links to get to, and to top it off no monthly recurring fee...Jackpot!
