I’ve been in this field for close to 15 years. I initially came across your website while searching for a shared, personal forum with other professionals - one that wasn’t attached to random advertising or monthly fees. When I discovered your forum, it was exactly what I was looking for, as well as providing a mountain of resources. And to top it all off - no monthly recurring fee. Jackpot!

Hello
I am new to the sight so was wondering can anyone recommend me any of the activities i can do with an elderly blind person with limited mobility and dementia too.
Thank you for any advice,
Hi Naomi
The first thing that comes to mind is sensory activities
https://www.goldencarers.com/sensory/
Of course not all of these activities are appropriate
Also, music activities are good
https://www.goldencarers.com/how-to-plan-music-activities-for-dementia-care/3192/
Specifically, What does this person like or liked to do
can you adapt any Activities used to like to now
Exercise is also good, but again you will have to adapt, depending on the mobility issues

Hi Naomi,
Have you considered using audio books/music?
How about using a dvd exercises...see if they are able to follow instructions with your help?
Take them for a w/c walk maybe ?
Our blind resident loves music and attends all our singing performances and singing seems to settle her
Hi Adelina and Tracy
Thank you, both for your valuable input
Thank you all for the extra advice. Does any one have any links to songs with clapping like “if your happy and you know it clap your hands” that are not babyish i use some on my seniors but feel a bit bad thats its as they are for toddlers.
Thank you .
