What is it?

An activity planning solution streamlines the organisation of events such as therapy sessions, and social gatherings, offering scheduling, participation tracking, and impact assessment. Through detailed calendars and tracking features, it ensures efficient coordination and engagement monitoring, enabling care providers to adapt activities to meet unique needs. With a focus on promoting well-being and meaningful engagement, this software plays a vital role in promoting a supportive and enriching environment within social care settings.

How does it work?

An activity planning solution simplifies the management of various events and gatherings by allowing care providers to input details, schedule activities, assign participants, and communicate important information. Through customisation features, activities can be tailored to suit the preferences and needs of residents and people you support.

What did people do before?

Before activity planning software, care providers relied on manual methods to organise and manage activities. This often involved maintaining paper-based calendars or schedules, using spreadsheets, or even relying on memory and verbal communication to coordinate events and gatherings. Assigning staff to activities and tracking attendance was typically done through handwritten records. Communication about upcoming events and changes in schedules relied heavily on in-person meetings, phone calls, or printed notices, which could be time-consuming and prone to errors or oversights.
