The job is bigger than the activities timetable.
Most activity training assumes residents can come to the lounge. Still Me™ is built for everyone else too, and for the coordinator trying to reach them all.
- It’s you and forty residents.You’re often the only activity coordinator, covering every floor and every level of need.
- The residents in their rooms worry you most.You know they need you, but group sessions don’t reach them, and time runs out.
- Ideas run out for advanced dementia.Bingo and quizzes don’t work when someone can’t speak or follow a game.
- Your best work goes unrecorded.Ten minutes of hand-holding at a bedside mattered, but the records just say “1:1 visit”.
Five ways in, so no one is left out.
Still Me™ groups residents into five levels of engagement need. Each level has its own format, activities, and things to watch for.
