of activities to attend; specific adaptations and special approaches
to meet special needs and limitations of individual residents;
content of sensory approaches and content of room visits; specific
materials to utilize, if using specific materials for a resident.

in the interventions. Specific types of music, hobbies, television
shows, diversional tasks, routines, coping mechanisms, motivational
approaches should be noted.
Relate to resident
need and problem - The interventions should be specific
to the problem, not generic additions to the care plan
REMEMBER - Add
what are you doing for this resident, that you are doing for
no other.

Specific
cases?
You are invited to email Debbie
Hommel, ACC, CTRS at debbiehommel@comcast.net with specific care plan questions.
Communication : How do we adapt programming and 1-1 visits for activity communication;
special approaches we may use in activities to foster improved
communication.
Behavior :
Specific diversional tasks and activities that may assist in minimizing the behavior, diverting
the behavior or preventing the behavior from occurring. If any
activity or situation causes or contributes to a behavior, it
should be included also, as something to advoid.
Cognitive :
Specific types of activities that may provide the routine and
support the resident needs; methods to adapt and approach the
resident; how the activity needs to be broken down and adapted
for success; signs to look for in determining overload.
Ambulation and
need to improve physical functioning : Physical
activities to attend; define the area of the body that will
be focused on and how the activity will be adapted to allow
use of the body.
ADL functioning : Physical activities that may exercise the part of the body
that needs strengthening; introducing ADL sensory approach to
the more cognitively impaired; inviting to grooming activities;
activities that allow problem solving and decision making.
Mood and psycho-social
well being : Inviting to activities that will allow interaction
and development of peer relationships; inviting to activities
that allow accomplishment and expression.
Look at every problem and think how activities
services can compliment the goal or assist in any small way to
resolve the problem. If we can help, specifically note what will
be done and how.
