I have a client who comes in for Day Program, she's legally blind, hard of hearing and her mobility isn't the greatest. Activity planning has been difficult as I have other clients with her on that day. Does anyone have any suggestions on activities that I can do with her? I'm at a loss.
You could also ask other clients to help her and give them a reward for doing it if necessary If her hearing is not too bad, then maybe she could listen to music using headphones if that is something she would like You could also do gross motor exercises and give her and overhand help as she needs it If her side isn’t too bad, use very large print to help her
I absolutely love this website and get most of my daily activities from it. Love the monthly diary too. It has so much to offer for different stages of dementia residents. I love the artwork, games, and quizzes which we use every day. People are constantly asking where do I get my ideas. Thank you so much!

The first thing that comes to mind is some sensory stimulation

Especially the power of touch
One game you could play is drawing a number on everyone’s back when is their turn and see if they can guess a number
