I am loving the Golden Carers membership. I am finding great resources that I used on the first day of membership. The membership is of much value working as both an Activities Director, and also an Activities Consultant. I look forward to continuing to use the site and also the forum.

Hello! I am new to the activities field and would love some assistance in coming up with activities for those who are vision impaired and/or wheelchair bound. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi Sarah,
I have a very visual resident who still WANTS to participate in most activities. This can be difficult, but i have been able to adapt some activities for her. I bought a large piece of foam board and drew a EXTRA, EXTRA large Bingo card. It probably measures about 24 in by 24 in. Much larger than the largest bingo card you can buy. I put letters & numbers that i made on my Cricut machine but you can use Address letters & numbers that you can buy at hardware stores. She has been able to memorize the numbers and can play independently. Another game she can play with minimal help is Shut the box. Someone has to tell her the total of the two dice she tossed, but then she can "feel" the numbers and flip them down. She can do this with minimal assistance, just watching if she is flipping down the correct numbers. Hope this helps.
