LTC 310 Week 3 Team Assignment Community Newsletter Outline/ SNAPTUTORIAL

Submit the list to your instructor for approval before making arrangements to conduct the
observation. After receiving approval, contact the program or service provider to schedule
the observation as soon as possible.
You will use the Observation Form for this task. The form is divided into four categories that
will guide you in obtaining the information you need for your project. In the form, you will be
asked to record information about the requirements that the program or service must adhere
to, the public’s perception of the program or service, and the overall effectiveness of it. After
conducting the observations, the Learning Teams will create a Community Newsletter in
which they will provide their local community with information regarding the long-term care
programs and services available to them. Team members will use the information from their
observations to create the newsletter.
Complete the Program or Service Observation Form to record your observations of the
program or service. Each team member must submit this form with the final assignment.
Note. Because these programs and services are designed for the public, you may visit as an
interested observer and community resident or as a health care professional. If staff members
do not welcome this type of visit, note this on the Observation Form, because relationships
with the public are important aspects of quality programs.
Write an outline for your 1,400- to 1,750-word Community Newsletter detailing the programs
and services available in your communities, due in Week Five. Answer the following in your
outline:
What programs or services did your team members visit? Provide a brief description
of the programs or services.
