I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!

Could someone suggest activities and/or outings for a small group of elderly clients (some with dementia). It consists of mostly men who don't like to participate in activities or craft, and women who only like cards. I'm struggling for ideas.
Do you have a senior center for older adults who live at home in the area??
Often they have an activity calendar and usually welcome those from care facilities
Sometimes just o bus trip is a nice idea, You can stop to see the sights from inside the bus or can get out briefly
Going to a garden center might be fun
Going out for ice cream or a drive through a restaurant is good if you do not want to get out of the van. Most everyone likes food
We went to a bowling alley during an off time. We told the owner we were coming, Thsy made special arrangements for us.
A local zoo as a lot of people like animals or can you find some one who can bring in pets. We had staff ride their horses in and the men loved this. Is there a mens shed nearby?
Thank you both for your ideas.
I took my men to the local pub for 1 drink and a bar meal they really enjoyed that. I had one to one ratio and used men volunteers .
I've taken a group of men for a walk and a coffee to the hardware store. They loved wandering around and looking at all the items they used to use and we even picked up a few pieces of wood to work on bad at the facility.
