The 90-Day AI Plan for Wellness Directors

You don't have to be a “tech person.” You're the one who notices Mr. R hasn't smiled since his wife stopped visiting — and builds an afternoon around getting that smile back. This plan just clears the busywork off your plate so you have more time for the people.

Fifteen minutes a day, about three days a week, for ninety days. Each week gives you one theme, three short “reps,” and one real win you keep and use:

• A full month of programming, drafted in an afternoon
• The family newsletter — without the dread
• Person-centered service-plan language
• Engagement adapted for every ability
• Reminiscence & life-story work that protects dignity

It opens with the one rule that keeps every resident's story safe, and ends with you leading a lunch-and-learn and pitching a simple AI policy to your administrator. No jargon — and you never hand a resident's dignity to a machine. You stay the person; AI just carries the paperwork.
