“ActivityPro is an excellent computerized charting system that collects and organizes resident participation levels and various therapeutic recreation activities offerings. ActivityPro generates risk reports, multi-month reports and showcases upcoming calendar programs on a friendly user dashboard. ActivityPro is an ideal tool that can assist American Therapeutic Recreation Directors with yearly State Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) surveys. CMS survey therapeutic recreation regulations impose that detailed charting is conducted and monitored for overall wellness of all residents residing in long-term care communities/skilled nursing home establishments. I use ActivityPro daily appreciating the feature of compare and contrast resident population attendance from month to month and the ability to provide responsible parties of our residents a report highlighting their levels of engagement. ActivityPro is an essential asset for any Therapeutic Recreation Director striving to streamline daily resident charting of meaningful engagements.” Jenna Sweet TRD, ADC, AP-BC, CDP Life Enrichment Director & Volunteer Coordinator Jerome Home New Britain, Connecticut, USA

“Seasons Retirement Communities in Ontario has been using the ActivityPro Retirement version since 2017. It was easy to use and the implementation went very smoothly. I searched for a documentation system that our staff could use without spending too much time sitting at a computer. Each day, our Fun Managers record activity attendance in just a few minutes. It gives them a great tool to evaluate their program. ActivityPro help desk is very helpful and responsive to our requests. As a Corporate Director I am able to analyze resident engagement by community to assess what is working and what is not. I love this version of ActivityPro!” Kim Mitchell Director of Fun Seasons Retirement Communities Ontario, Canada

We can see residents at risk and prioritize their involvement or reassess why it is that they aren't involved or choosing to be involved. It helps in planning for new initiatives and programs."
