Hi Martha, you could try indoor activities like Carpet Bowls or Bowling ’Tournaments’ or a picnic in a local park; all very social and entertaining activities.

Thank you very much Solange, those are great ideas. I am also thinking about a movie night ! =)

We have a Happy Hour as the afternoon activity on Friday's at our facility.

It's a chance for the residents to have a social glass of wine or bottle of beer (teas, coffee's, milkshakes, soft drinks etc for those that don't drink alcohol)

Its combined with quiz questions and a music CD.

Once a month a couple of volunteer's come in and play piano and we have a sing-a-long with the Happy Hour too.

We also have a Garden Café once a week.

We take a little coffee pod machine outside and enjoy the café experience in gorgeous surrounds at the facility.

Thanks very much Megan! I

We have guest speakers come along to talk to our groups about things that may help them such as community transport, podiatry etc. Also a fashion show is good. There are people who specialise in clothes for the elderly in aged care

Hello,

I'm also in Canada! Inter-generational activities are awesome if you can organize a day care or youth group to come in and play games, do a craft, or read with your seniors. Music bingo, baking, ring/ bean bag toss are also good.
