Activities - Bedingfeld Park Inc avatar

We have some aged care residents in our facility who do not join in actiivities and prefer to do something self-directed in their rooms. I have a list of things that may be included but can anyone add anything to my list?

* reading, TV, social media

* knitting, crochet

* wordsearches, crosswords, colouring, quizes, sudoku

*patience (either iPad or with real cards)
