So many great ideas in here. Glad to have found you, Golden Carers! Thank you for all the wonderful things you do to help all of us working with activities to better and to make our activities fun for our customers and us.

I work with a client that has little or no vision, is hard of hearing and it confined to bed. I am always on the look out for interesting activities to do with her.
We have worked on her life story, do her nails and hand and foot massages, I take her outside into our garden, I try to get her to fold "washing" for me, we have a box of rice that she gets items out off and trys to guest what they are, I usually try to read something to her, (local paper, poetry, jokes ect), although she does not always hear what I am saying, her sense of smell and taste is not so good either, I am running out of ideas, and she sometimes appears bored. Any suggestions?
Thanks for all the other ideas you have, I am always keen to see what new items you have. Keep up the good work
Hi Sonia,
Depending on the level of education she has, you could do quizzes, riddles, crosswords, and other 'word' games. Also make a few 'Who am I?' riddles involving staff or other people in your workplace that she has some rapport with e.g. gardener, visiting doctor, manager, volunteers.
Hollywood quizzes from her era may be of interest and another activity that rarely fails to succeed is unravelling a knitted jumper and wrapping the yarn for craft or re-knitting.
