Hi Shelly, it would depend on the functioning and cognitive level of your clients.
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.
Golden Carers has been a God send to me. The person before me left me winging it. So, I found Golden Carers in an internet search. I use the calendar, lots of the activity ideas, but the most appreciated is the different ideas from other members. Sometimes knowing what works in other facilities is so helpful.... I'm coming to the end of my first year, and can't wait to renew for another year.

This looks like a good question to ask the Facebook Activities for Seniors Group:
