Thank you so much for such an awesome resource and to everyone for sharing their ideas. It takes the pressure off and allows more time to be spent with the ones we are caring for who after all need our time more than anything else. I am looking forward to reading as much as I can get my hands on and finding ways to improve the lives of our valuable community members and bring some sunshine in. Much appreciated :)

I work full time at a nursing home, and Part time when needed at a hospital for swingbed patients. Does anyone have any ideas for swingbed patients??
Hi Shelly,
This looks like a good question to ask the Facebook Activities for Seniors Group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/ActivitiesForSeniors/
Hi Shelly, it would depend on the functioning and cognitive level of your clients.
High functional clients could have puzzles, riddles, crossword, quizzes, books, poetry, and colouring books.
For low functioning clients you could try hand massage, tactile stimulation such as bean bags (rice/lentils), chai tea, play dough, facial for the ladies, sing-alongs, balloon playing.
Group activities I assume would be very difficult to organise.
Best wishes.
