Writing client routines
This can be a routine such as a weekly or daily schedule board, or could be a document outlining a client’s morning, afternoon, dinner or bedtime routine.
A client routine is particularly important for client’s with OCD, Autism and Dementia. Even clients that suffer from anxiety benefit greatly from having clearly set out routines, so they know what is happening and the carer knows what is happening.
It is also empowering for the client, if they are able, to participate in deciding on their daily, weekly routine. Having a routine board or diary enables the client to have some involvement in what that routine looks like and therefore the client is more likely to follow the decided routine as they were involved in creating it.
