How do all of you announce your activities? Do you go table to table during a meal, hang up daily activity slips, announce overhead a half hour before an activity starts what the next activity is and where it is taking place? All of these, some of these ideas, different ideas? |

We announce our activities over the loud speaker 30 minutes, 15 minutes, and if possible right before the activity begins. We have calendars in every room, a big bulliten board across from the nurses station on each hall with our calendar. About 45 to 30 minutes prior to the activity, we also go room to room and invite everyone (with a few exceptions) and remind Residents that we pass in the hallways of the upcoming activity. |

We do almost the same here.

In our one unti we have to go room to room and invite the residents to come, unless it is bingo which they seem to remember. In the other unit with the independant residents I rely on them to read their calendars. I wish I had a PA system, it would make it so much easier and less time consuming. |

In AL, we give the monthly calendars to each resident, and write up the daily activities on a white board. At the end of each activity, we tell people what the next activity will be. Then we knock on everyone's doors starting usually 1/2 hour before - those with better memories can plan that far ahead, and those that can't get escorted. It is quite a process. We also have our calendars uploaded to our website so families who chose to can see what the next activity is and slip it into a phone conversation.
