I cant rate this site high enough. The activities and ideas are fantastic, varied and very relevant to our service. I log on every morning to see what's new and I'm always printing and using your materials. Honestly the best site I know of to provide activities for older people.
Can anyone please suggest any activities that suited for patients that had a stroke. Can this patient join the others also?
Thanking you in anticipation
Vicki
This depends on what deficits the resident has from the stroke and how long it has been since this person had the stroke
There can be many deficits from changes in vision to no speech to un able to use his arms or legs or both
Also depends on the goal of this person to engage in activities
You want him to feel good about doing the activity and you want him to be able to do it or come close to being able to do it
It is best to talk to his physical and occupational therapist to see what they think he can do and what he need to work with
FOr example
For poor vision this is an idea on C
