Activities - Bedingfeld Park Inc

We have some aged care residents in our facility who do not join in actiivities and prefer to do something self-directed in their rooms. I have a list of things that may be included but can anyone add anything to my list?
* reading, TV, social media
* knitting, crochet
* wordsearches, crosswords, colouring, quizes, sudoku
*patience (either iPad or with real cards)

thanks for the posts we are going with edible gifts

Hi Kymberly, I would love a copy have been considering doing charades but have not had the time to get the resources as yet

hello everyone, we regularly do this activity and have had interesting sessions simply by google mapping residents former addresses.

Hi everyone,
I'm in need of some ideas for christmas presents for our residents must be suitable for low, high and dementia people

Thank you for sharing, this is something we will have fun with for sure :)

We are very fortunate, as one of our hotel staff members has 2 small beautiful, well behaved little dogs that trot around after her all during her shifts. They are more than happy to sit a while here and there when invited to an offering lap. The residents (and staff) love to have them here. Our Activities Coordinator also recently had chicken eggs delivered, along with all the necessary equipment to care for these eggs through the hatching process and until the chicks were a week old. This was a huge hit with all the residents! I have been on the lookout for something else we can try, and I am wondering if anyone has a hermit crab house? I think I will look into it ..... growing hermit crabs also need extra shells made available for them as they outgrow their old ones, and I thought it could be fun to have some residents paint these,

Oh I soooo want one :)
