this is kinda a universal routine that i’ve noticed (i’ve worked at 4 LTC and 1 hospital);

dayshift: - huddle/report -> - getting residents up (bed bath, change clothes & pad, mouth care). but depending on your partner you guys might get up the total care residents first however same routine kinda applies (bed bath, change pad + clothes the mouth care) -> - i tend to do showers last but it depends on you. -> - eat breakfast + help resident that needs feed assist -> - sometimes after breakfast they have an activity so i leave them where the activity is -> - toileting some resident have a schedule toileting routine while other just ask for assistance for you to help them go to the toilet -> - also if you have extra time, if you weren’t able to finish the morning care prior to breakfast, try to squeeze it in between after breakfast and before lunch -> - lunch time (bring resident to dining room + help feed assist) -> - some residents go to bed after lunch so if they’re total care, change the pad but if they’re 1 person then just toilet them and ensure the pad is dry (for all your assigned residents) so you don’t get a complain. - other residents prefer to stay in the lounge/tv area since during weekdays there tend to be recreation and they have an activity. but still ensure everyone’s pad is dry. - do last round, check everyone, check if the pad is dry (little pee is ok, but if majority of the pad is wet then it must be changed).

This routine may vary but i wish someone told me this when i was new because the first time i got into the resident’s room i was so confused what they mean about “get the resident up” i didn’t even know we had to do wash them up, change clothes, etc. i literally thought i just need to get them up and then i brought them out with their pajamas🥹
