You will always hear me say that if you have an action plan you will always succeed.
Tips For The Year Ahead For Success
1. Grab one of my year wall year planner's and diaries I have created for 2018, especially for AC'S,
I have saved you the hassle and listed all the main theme dates, fun dates and also suggested activities you can do each month for the year ahead. So you plan what ones you wish to use with your resident's. Email me at lovejoycentre@gmail.com for more details if interested.

3.Up your game, I have set up the AC Tastic Academy which is your one stop shop for AC's to find all they need for personal development and support in their job role. www.actasticacademy.co.uk
4. Change tact consider trying new activities, don't just dismiss an idea before you try it with your residents it might just work and be the one thing that connects with someone.
5.Before planning your year's schedule of activities make sure you have up to take records of each resident's capabilities and this is taken into account.
6.Please think about you for a few minutes as you plan ahead next year as well. Where do you think you need to change things in order to make your life easier? Do you need to have admin time given to you for your paper work? Consider these things and when planning make sure you schedule enough
time so you can get ALL aspects of the job done in work time.

things, do it. For example, bringing in a horse or pony for a pet therapy session.
9. Evidence is key to prove you do all the wonderful things you do. Take pictures, put them on display and have a photo album by the signing in book so people and health professionals can see the wonderful things you do with your residents.
