Very excited today, finally had approval to buy a Ipad for my residents to use during one on one session, I have downloaded a few apps that were free for a trial, the residents loved it and the facial expressions of enjoyment were just amazing,

I was wondering if anyone else using them and if so would they like to share apps they use.

Our apps we are trying are as follows:

Lets create pottery (will be purchasing residents interacted well)

Spark Art

Falling stars

Music Sparkle

Matching pairs

Life time talks (purchased - excellent reminiscence app)

Lively Silver

Fish pond

gaze- visual pictures with sound (purchased, resident really enjoyed watching and hearing rain, snow and window plus watching the fire burn- you actually hear the wood crackling)

jigsaw box (purchased - excellent can take a picture of resident then turn into puzzle... residents loved seeing their faces as the finished product)

jigsaw 123 (purchased - worked well with high cognitive impaired residents)
