Morning Cares....
As a non-traditional (aka old) OTA student on my first FW II rotation - I have found that instead of setting a 8 1/2" x 5" sheet of white paper onto the clients table top stating
Dear ____________
Tomorrow _______ morning __________ from Occupational Therapy will be assessing you for morning cares at _________ A. M. She will help you wash, dress and get ready for the day. If you wake up early, feel free to eat some breakfast.
Thank you
An 8 1/2" x 5" sheet of yellow paper displayed with a photo clip works is easier for residents at the SNF to see and remember. Also by changing the wording those residents with test anxiety seemed to be less intimidated.
Dear ___________________
Tomorrow- ___________ morning__________
I also added a few simple morning ADL graphics to serve as a visual cues for those with lower cognition.
