How to use the template

Pick a theme for each week. Themes make planning faster and give residents something to talk about.
Put group games at the same time each day so people know when to come.
Leave one slot each week for a resident's choice.
Print the month and post it where residents and families can see it.
Keep track of who joined each activity. In ElderWit, staff tap who joined, and one tap makes the monthly program summary. Helps document every activity.

Questions people ask

What should a senior living activity calendar include?

Group sessions at regular times, quiet activities for small groups, one on one time for residents who stay in their rooms, and a few special days. A weekly theme makes it easier to plan.

How far ahead should I plan the activity calendar?

Most teams plan one month at a time and post the calendar a week before the month starts.

Can I use this template for an adult day program?

Yes. Use the morning slots for the group game and the afternoon slot for quiet tablet time, then adjust the times to your schedule.
