I co-own and operate a small assisted living home in Pittsfield, NH (U.S.A.). We consistently seek ways to improve upon our senior activity program, providing a diversified balance of a purposeful and enjoyable time of recreation, crafting, exercise and others to reach all of our residents. I must say, it's been a challenge. This past October I began researching options online and came across your site, subscribing for a year to see what you were all about. Let me tell you, you have not disappointed! Your site is a priceless resource that we are extremely thankful for. We find a significant increase in resident participation and look forward to the new ideas that each month brings. Our residents love the changes!

I would look into Youtube if you do not have anything specific.
If you do have specifics, set the room up with :
Some soothing spa music. Concentrate on specific muscles and/or parts of the body.
Make sure to have the "speaker" use a soft voice. Low lighting. Maybe some aroma therapy going on at the same time. Lavender would be wonderful!
I hope this helps get you started !
Thank you very much for your suggestions
