Hi Georgia,
Thanks for your feedback. You are quite right, Bingo is over-rated. We have some articles coming out shortly with some activity ideas for high care and Alzheimer's condition. In the mean time here are a few things you may try:
planting seeds or seedlings

Sharing a joke
Polishing silverware
Stringing cheesels, popcorn and cheerios and hanging on a tree for birds
Make 'Happy Birthday' cards for friends and family (instructions on website)
Making home-made lemonade
Making fridge magnets with modelling clay (instructions on website)
Making a scrapbook of : royal family, American athletes/comedians/cars/beauty queens/great inventions.
Doing a puzzle together

Tearing newspaper for papier-mache fruit basket
Making cookies or cake
Painting a picture (templates in website)
I hope this can help , and please, let us know which activity was successful.
Your site is easy to use, I use it more often than the one our consultant has set up! I use so many of your ideas and love the Facebook page where everyone shares ideas, concerns and triumphs! I feel connected to a big wonderful caring society! I am always telling my co-workers how awesome Golden Carers is. I feel it is more in touch with the needs of my residents than many of the other Recreational Therapy sites.
