Your Facility 

The Time-Ratio Solution – How much time is enough time?
The circle to the left below illustrates an example of a hypothetical facility in which there are 60 non-interviewable light care residents.  The circle to the right below illustrates that in 10 segments of programming time, five of the segments are used for non-interviewable light care residents. Thus the types of programs offered are in proportion to the type of resident in that facility.  When you fill in the blank circles below, ideally the portion of your resident population that is the largest in the circle on the left, labeled "Resident Population" should be reflected by the largest portion in the circle on the right, labeled "Weekly Programs."  In short, if most of your residents are non-interviewable light care residents, most of your programming time should be allocated to them. Non-interviewable light care residents are defined in the preceding.

QUESTION #4: If 1/2 of your resident population is Loners, or 1/3 of your resident population is Loners, how much of your programming time should be spent with them?
