How to add program attendance… the right way!

By on July 6, 2012 in AASC Online Forum

Even though the AASC Online manual “highly” recommends we add group resident service logs for each member who attended our workshop using the resident service log group-add function… some your attendees may not be clients, and we do not enter service logs for members who are not SC clients. So, what’s the solution?

1. Group add a Progress Note for your educational workshops. The Progress Notes, if they are not attached to a Service Log, should not skew your AASC Online statistics.

Then,

2. Group add a Service Log for the clients (members receiving services from you) who attended the educational workshops.

Voila!

No flu shots at CSI properties…

By on July 6, 2012 in Company News, CSI News, Health Screenings/Topics

Due to possible liability issues, flu shot clinics are not allowed at any of the Co-ops. However…

The co-ops often shuttle members to sites for their shots, and Hannan House has a flu shot event sponsored by the DMC every fall (especially good for the Labelle members)!

If you’re looking for a health workshop, consider other, less invasive health monitoring by non-profit or governmental health care providers, including things like blood pressure.

More information on hoarding

By on July 6, 2012 in Hoarding, Household, Resources

BU is a terrific resource for older adults who have a tendency to clutter or hoard. Here are some documents we have used with the Detroit Hoarding and Cluttering Taskforce, along with visual scales that are sometimes useful for working with members on “harm reduction”, which isn’t striving for perfection (no Martha Stuart), but is striving for safety and health. You can help people move down the clutter image scale…
