What an amazing site, with so many activities to stimulate our elderly and help them enjoy the togetherness these activities bring. I’m from Johannesburg, South Africa, and being part of such a large community of carers who share the same purpose is a huge privilege for me. Thank you - you are such an inspiration!

Just starting in a brand new nursing home and was wondering if anyone has ideas for song books. To buy or make our own???
My mom is a resident of a nursing home and doesn't like to go to activities. I need some activities I can do to help build up her arm use ( she is total lift, doesn't walk an doesn't do bingo.please any suggestions
Hi Debbie, you are a wonderful daughter, your mother must be very proud of you. You could try to make your mother’s life more interesting and meaningful by offering radio plays, or music of her choice to listen to. You may also introduce her to painting to improve arm movement, or wheel her daily on a stroll around the facility (if you can’t do it daily, seek a volunteer to help you), preferably in the garden so she can appreciate the noises of nature and watch birds and/or butterflies. Shoulder or hand massage is nice to relax, soothe, and nurture. I wish you and your mother well.
