The Caregiver Activity Lesson Plans books from R.O.S. are designed to give caregivers of all types an outline for an activity that the senior they care for will engage in. With step by step instructions on what to do, these are a great place to start for activities. This Volume contains multiple Caregiver Activity Lesson Plans and templates from the R.O.S. How Much Do You Know About Book Series of activity books. The How Much Do You Know About activity books are topic specific books that allow caregivers to provide engaging activities based on topics that are of interest to their client or loved one. This Volume contains activities based on words and terms related to the 1950's. The LARGE PRINT activities included in this Lesson plan books include: Trivia Word search Word scramble Crossword Code Breakers This Caregiver Activity Lesson Plans book was written by R.O.S. Therapy Systems and approved by the National Association of Activity Professionals which has been the quality of life authority for long term care settings since 1982. Each Lesson plan - whether used for Activities of Daily Living or Leisure Activities - are meant as general guidelines and suggestions and do not guarantee success. Every person has his or her own unique physical / cognitive abilities and needs. How a participant responds to an activity will dictate how the Activity Leader will continue to modify or adapt a Lesson Plan to meet individual participants' needs and abilities - now and in the future. The Lesson Plan should be ever-changing. It is meant to be written on and to note the changes you may have made from the original plan so that the next person working with the participant can follow your modifications with the goal of recreating positive experiences. Information included in each Lesson Plan from R.O.S.: Date: Document the date the activity is used with the senior Program Name: Activity name Objective: To provide meaningful, purposeful activities that will engage participant Materials: Suggested materials/resources to use with this program Prerequisite Skills: Physical skills/abilities a senior should possess for a program Activity Outline: Step-by-step instructions to complete the program Evaluation: A thorough evaluation is the most important part of the Lesson Plan. When conducting an activity with the senior, record any verbal cues, assistance, or modifications to incorporate into the activity. It is also helpful to include the senior's response to the program. Note if the senior dislikes a certain activity and won't ever be interested in engaging in this activity in the future. Note programs that are successful at distracting or eliminating a negative behavior (diversion activities). Encourage family members and caregivers to use the evaluation section and also leave tips. Don't waste time recreating the wheel of knowledge; pass on the information so everyone presents the program in the same way with the same modifications and cueing, and achieving the same positive outcomes.

Twelve chapters full of useful, tangible activities touch on a range of topics, including exercise, technology, cooking and baking, memory games, and arts and crafts.

The authors include detailed tips for building a dementia-friendly environment, creating a daily calendar, and scheduling community entertainment. They also suggest special activities geared toward people in hospice care and give targeted advice for dealing with caregiver stress. Drawing on Wonderlin's own practice while incorporating the latest scientific research on dementia and eldercare, Creative Engagement is unique in its dementia-positive approach.
