1/19/16 - Staff meeting with Program Manager and Outcomes Staff

One staff reports that she feels that My Pad is more of a community. The staff look forward to seeing residents, and the residents look forward to seeing the staff. Both plan activities together and hang out together. There is a genuine community-feel balanced with personal homes for privacy.

The staff developed the charting system listed above and the group discuss residents using the system. The program manager likes to use the system because he believes that it helps the staff to check on areas of a person's life that they might otherwise forget to check thus ensuring that all areas of a person's life are considered when trying to maximize their independent living skills (broadly defined).
