Activity Module

Schedule it once, run it, log who came, and see who's engaging over time — without re-entering the same event every week.

What it does

The activity module allows you to setup & schedule activities for your facility and add repeating schedules easily for each activity (monthly, weekly or one time events). Residents can be added to the scheduled dates and viewed in the list or calendar views. All calendars are printable so they can be posted in your facility. Upcoming events can be shown on the dashboard with quick links to log activity or view the activity.

  • Set up activities and repeating schedules from one template
  • Log participation with status codes and engagement scores
  • See engagement trends per resident over time
  • Share day, week, and month calendars with families

Log scores and add notes on resident participation. Quick options for Absent, Sick, Sleeping or Choose not to attend. Notes are stored with the record and is visible in the reports.

What you get

The pieces an activity coordinator actually uses every day.

Activity Rooms

Add rooms in a few clicks. A dedicated "resident room" entry lets you schedule in-room programming without one-off placeholders.

Repeating Schedules

Set up an activity once and choose a repeat pattern (daily, weekly, monthly). The system generates each instance automatically — no re-entering the same event.

Participation Logging

At the time of the activity, log participation with a status code (Present, Absent, Sick, Sleeping, Choose-not-to-attend) and an engagement score from 1 to 3. Recent participants can be re-added to today's enrollment in one click.

Calendar Views

Day, week, and month calendar views so staff, residents, and families can all see what's coming up and what happened.

How it works

Three steps from activity setup to engagement insights.

01

Set up rooms and activities

Add the activity rooms in your facility, including a "resident room" entry for in-room programming. Define activities with default duration.

  • Rooms in a few clicks
  • Default duration per activity
  • Reuse across schedules
02

Schedule it

Pick a repeat pattern — one-time, daily, weekly, or monthly. Each scheduled instance inherits from the activity template; per-instance adjustments don't break the rest.

  • Repeating templates
  • Per-event adjustments
  • Family-shareable calendar
03

Log and review

Open the scheduled instance, log status and engagement for each enrolled resident, and review daily and monthly reports to spot engagement trends per resident.

  • Status + engagement score
  • Daily and monthly reports
  • Engagement per resident

Logging participation at the activity

When the activity starts, staff open the scheduled instance from the calendar. Enrolled residents appear in a single list; recent participants can be re-added in one click, and the + Add Resident search handles anyone else.

For each resident, staff select a status code (Present, Absent, Sick, Sleeping, Choose-not-to-attend) and an engagement score from 1 to 3. The score feeds per-resident engagement reports so you can see who actually engages — not just who attends.

If you need to correct an entry, the same screen lets you reopen the instance and re-log. Past attendance and scores are retained for reporting — they don't disappear when an instance is edited.

Why the Activity Module?

Built on how activity programming actually runs — templates, not duplicates; status codes for honest attendance; engagement scores beyond Present/Absent.

01

Templates generate instances, not duplicates

A repeating activity is stored as a single template. Each scheduled date is an instance generated from it — adjust one instance (cancel, reschedule, change the room) without affecting the rest.
02

Engagement is more than attendance

Beyond a Present / Absent flag, staff log an engagement score (1 to 3) for each participant. That score feeds engagement reports so you can tell who shows up and who actually engages.
03

"Disable" ends an activity cleanly

Disabling an activity ends all future scheduled dates and removes currently-enrolled residents from those instances in one action — no manual cleanup of the calendar.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from activity coordinators adopting the module.

How do repeating schedules work?

When you schedule an activity as daily, weekly, or monthly, the system generates each instance from a single template. Adjustments to one instance don't change the rest of the schedule.

Can activities happen in residents' rooms?

Yes. Set up a single "resident room" entry and assign in-room activities to it. The rest of your room list stays clean, and in-room programming shows on the day's calendar normally.

What participation statuses can staff log?

Quick options cover Present, Absent, Sick, Sleeping, and Choose-not-to-attend. Notes can be added when needed without slowing things down.

How is engagement scored?

Beyond the status code, staff can score each resident's engagement from 1 (little) to 3 (great). The score feeds engagement reports so you can see who actually engages — not just who attends.

What happens if we cancel an activity?

Disabling an activity ends all future scheduled dates and removes currently-enrolled residents from those instances in one action. Past attendance data is retained for reporting.

Does the Activity Module work with the rest of myResidentCare?

Yes. The same resident record is shared with the Base, Diet, and Leads modules, so changes to a resident's profile are immediately reflected in activity enrollment and reports.
