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,
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 ?
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 .
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!

Thank you for any advice,
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

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
