2017-02-21 07:41:53 PM shubbard720 I attend care plan meetings Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10-12, and my FTE on the memory care unit attends those meetings on Thursdays
2017-02-21 07:41:56 PM marciatrimiew I'm learning a lot through this conversation. Team work, documenting, making sure that people attend the program can be challenging. Is Care Planning done daily or at the beginning of the month for each person?

2017-02-21 07:41:56 PM debra I don't know why . .... the previous director never attended either. But now that I've learned that i SHOULD be there i am going to do what i can to be part of the meetings.
