The life project¶
The life project says who the resident is and what they want, in their own words. It complements the anamnesis, which records the facts and the wishes for hospitalisation and the end of life.
Find the life projects¶
Nursing Care → Residents → Life Projects lists every resident’s life project with its status, its referent and its number of objectives. Filters: In the House, To Do, In Progress, Complete, My Life Projects; group by Status or Referent.
On the resident’s form, the Life Project tab shows the status, the referent, the dates and what has been written, with Start the Life Project or Open the Life Project.
1. Start the life project¶
Open the resident’s life project.
Set the Referent — the member of staff who follows it.
Pick the methods it is Built With — for example Potentia, Montessori, an interview with the resident or the family, daily observation.
Click Start: the status moves from To Do to In Progress.
2. Write what the team learns¶
One tab per theme, filled in over the weeks:
Tab |
What it holds |
|---|---|
Life Story |
Where they come from, their work, their family, the events that matter |
Habits and Rhythms |
Getting up, going to bed, meals, washing |
Likes and Dislikes |
Food, music, clothes, what pleases or upsets them |
Interests and Activities |
Hobbies, what they still like to do or would like to discover |
Relationships |
Family, friends, residents they get along with |
Values and Beliefs |
Convictions, spirituality, what must be respected |
Wishes and Projects |
What they want to keep doing, learn or achieve |
Set the Next Review date: when the project is to be read again with the resident.
3. Turn wishes into objectives¶
Click New Objective (once the project is started). The objective is written for the resident and goes into their care plan, opened as a draft if they have none. The Objectives tab and smart button list them, with who they are assigned to, their target date, their observations and whether they are achieved.
4. Complete or reopen¶
Click Mark as Complete when the project is written: the completion date is recorded. Reopen brings it back to In Progress.
Configure the methods¶
Nursing Care → Configuration → Life Project Methods (managers) lists the methods offered in Built With.
