Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.

This looks like a good question to ask the Facebook Activities for Seniors Group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/ActivitiesForSeniors/
High functional clients could have puzzles, riddles, crossword, quizzes, books, poetry, and colouring books.
For low functioning clients you could try hand massage, tactile stimulation such as bean bags (rice/lentils), chai tea, play dough, facial for the ladies, sing-alongs, balloon playing.
Group activities I assume would be very difficult to organise.
Best wishes.
