Slide8Residents Life in a NHActivities plays into so many aspects of the resident's life -- mood, behaviors, functional status, nutritional status, etc. They are key players.It is important to interview the resident-talk to the resident to learn directly from the resident as to what is important in their life.
8
Slide9Resident Assessment RemindersSection F: Preferences for Customary Routine and Activities The intent of items in this section is to obtain information regarding the resident’s preferences for his or her daily routine and activities. This is best accomplished when the information is obtained directly from the resident or through family or significant other, or staff interviews if the resident cannot report preferences.
The information obtained during this interview is just a portion of the assessment. Nursing homes should use this as a guide to create an individualized plan based on the resident’s preferences, and is not meant to be all-inclusive.
9
Slide10Health-Related Quality of LifeMost residents capable of communicating can answer questions about what they like.Obtaining
information about preferences directly from the resident, sometimes called
“hearing the resident’s voice,”
is the most reliable and accurate way of identifying preferences.
If a resident cannot communicate, then family or significant other who knows the resident well may be able to provide useful information about preferences
.
10
Slide11Planning for CareQuality of life can be greatly enhanced when care respects the resident’s choice regarding anything that is important to the resident.Interviews allow the resident’s voice to be reflected in the care plan.Information
about preferences that comes directly from the resident provides specific information for individualized daily care and activity planning.
