Hi everyone, I am a new Activity Director with a dual program to run. When full we will have 75 residents (58 assisted living, and 17 memory care). This may be strange, but this is my first time in senior living. I love it, and am told that I am ding a great job. That being said, what does a day look like in your Memory care program? I find it hard to have CNAs follow through with what I have planned. I am always there for exercise class and 1x in the afternoon for an activity. I cover all the assisted living activities. We have 25 residents and are adding to that number weekly. I believe I will have a full time assistant in about a month (she is amazing, works concierge right now and does all she can to help). My main focus will be Memory care, I read all I can, but would really like to see what your daily schedule is like, what works, what doesn't. What is the best bit of advise you could offer? Thank you!
Thank you for providing such creative and inspiring activities! I use Golden Carers daily and My residents love all of the quizzes and Arts and Crafts activities! Golden Carers is where I go for all of my ideas!
