Seniors/Grandparents

» Janienne Jennrich - Activities for Seniors & Caretakers

HI-
This is a repeat of what I just wrote in my blog. Please respond with a post if you like!

Many senior citizens are living in group homes, active living senior apartments, and group homes with assisted living. While many seniors come and go, a lot also tend to stay homebound, which can get a bit boring. As a senior caretaker for an elderly lady, I found that bringing over new activities interested her much more than the "same old things" she had access to everyday. I used to look round my house for simple games and gadgets, movies ad music, and magazines to amuse her.

I would love to hear from other caregivers (many are the senior children of elderly parents) out there. What are some good activities which have been successful with senior you know? My grandfather had a weekly writing group with a teacher who came into his apartment complex. Many have arts and crafts sessions.

Here are a few article I have written on this subject: Caring for Aging Elderly Parents,
Fun Activities for Senior Citizens, Memory Help for Senior Citizens, and Fun Visits With Senior Citizens. You can find them by clicking on my name (in blue) and going to the list of all my articles.

Have a good week,
Janienne
