I am searching for activities to do with water that can involve residents at hospital level care. Besides hand massages and the ability to experience a small element of water therapy. I would appreciate some suggestions that could broaden the theme of water-play for indoor and outdoor activities.
I did a fishing tournament w/ my residents. It was a lot of prep but the outcome was rewarding to watch. Materials Needed: Fish floaties Hot glue little magnets strings (fishing line) Stick (fishing rods) Water in Tub Hot glue magnets to fish and put another magnet at the end of the fishing line, tie the line to the rods. Have resident sit around the tub w/ little floating fishes and try to catch fishes. You can have coolers of drinks and music to the side. FUN! FUN! AND FUNNY at the same time.
We have been a member of Golden Carers for the past 5 years and honestly, it makes our lives here both easier and more interesting!!! The hours it saves us when planning activities for our residents result in delivering quality activities. Our residents love the word searches and crosswords and the armchair travels have brought happy memories of holidays. Thank you for all you do!
