Group home support staff should check for the following when filling out behavior health data sheets:
Name is printed with initials for reference

Numbers are easy to read (close “0″’s so they doesn’t look like a 6 or 8 and close “9″’s so they don’t look like a 4)
All spaces are filled in
Initials are in appropriate spaces
Notes are written regarding behaviors as needed
Totals are correct

Reduce Utility Bills just added a new category-Gasoline. The first post to help lower what you will pay at the pump was posted today, Shopping Strategies to Lower Gasoline Expenses! It seems appropriate as we celebrate the America’s freedom on this 4th of July, it would be nice to be free of the high expense of filling up the tank. Not only personally, but also for our group homes. The less money going out to fill up the tank, the more money available for things like:
Outings
Groceries
Vacations
Household items
The post has some good suggestions for planning shopping. Some clients don’t do well on long shopping trips even if it does save the house some money. Ways to save help group home residents tolerate longer trips:
Plan something that they enjoy at the end of the trip
Bring snacks and drinks
Stop at a park in between stores
Have extra staff to occupy residents who don’t like to shop while staff and resident who enjoys shopping shop
Do shopping near where resident is picked up from DTA (day treatment activity) or work program
If residents don’t tolerate shopping, shop without residents after transport to DTA or work program
Planning trips with residents tolerance levels in mind can reduce the mileage driven by the group home vehicle and it will in turn reduce gas expenses.
