Sensory activities work well for elders that have suffered a stroke or those living with dementia and Alzheimer's Disease. Sensory activities are also beneficial for elderly people with poor vision. Reminiscing activities will stimulate and engage the elderly as they recollect and share memories from the past. Outdoor activities such as gardening can still be enjoyed by senior citizens with alternative methods to make it easier for them.

Regardless of physical or cognitive limitations, there are so many ways the elderly can enjoy meaningful aged care activities. Male specific activities are provided focusing on interests and activities that men will often gravitate towards and enjoy. Building projects, cards and some competitive social engagements are a few examples of ways for men to make some new friends and stay active.
