Reflective Summary Assessment

That was another week went by at Sherwood Park Manor. As usual, I started my shift by listening to the morning report and then heading to my assign resident room. I started morning care by providing the care of my assigned resident, including taking her vital signs. After that I directed my resident to sit in the dining for breakfast meal. And once I was done, I went and helped another resident with morning care too, and at last bring him to the dining for breakfast.

Some resident wanted to attend the music activities so I took some of the them to attend and enjoy music.I am looking forward to next week to learn an d experience new skills and well as gain my experience on my current
