Stimulate the senses and enjoy the outdoors
This is one of many free activities.
Golden Carers has 1000s of activities and resources for senior care.

For outings you will need volunteers to assist you. This is a wonderful opportunity to invite and encourage relatives of residents to come along and involve themselves in the care of their loved ones.

Start your outing with a half-hour sight-seeing drive. Talk and reminisce about what you see.

Continue to somewhere on the bayside where you can buy some local fast food like 'fish & chips (if you live in the UK, NZ or Australia) or pizza or something else that's easy and delicious.

If your city does not have a bayside, the banks of a river or a lake would also be lovely.
There is something magical and relaxing about sitting and watching a body of water.

I love going out with the residents, every Friday is our bus trip, we've taken residents for "Pub Grub".this was men only then we had a mixed day, love it! We take the men to the Maritime Museum, Newcastle Museum. Ladies afternoon tea at a favourite cafe in Anna Bay, next week we're off to Karuah RSL for a concert, next month it's a trip to Tea Gardens, the residents love our outings we plan, we do have general trips that goes into country or to to the sea. We at Raymond Terrace Gardens have 4 RAO's, 2 working each day, 1 in secure unit with 26, and 1 in hostel/high care. I'm the newest of the team and we all work together well using the skills that we're gifted in.

I've found a few tourist information centres actually have a local who is willing to hop on the bus, (after fish and chips), to give you a guided 'historical' tour of the area.

We have taken a group of people from my age care facility for this type of trip - drove to a local musical show, bought fish and chips for lunch and sat by the ocean taking in the view. It was a lovely day and the residents asked for the same again.
