Hi Rebecca Do you have something like a commission for the blind We have that in the US and they provide different devices for blind residents If not do you have a therapy department because occupational therapy should be able to evaluate and give or make suggestions as to a device you might use Do you have a special library for the blind residents We had that also They sent a blind person to show residents devices they had They had books on tape and a simple to use device to play the tape If no one is willing to help you you will have to do some research online to find an appropriate device for the resident to use This article may help you as well https://www.goldencarers.com/20-activities-for-the-visually-impaired/4205/
we have voice activated Alexa or echo dot something like that our residents use for audio books music and general use like quizzes facts, the time weather news etc. really good and not too expensive.
Golden Carers has been such a help to increase the range of activity sessions that we provide. Our residents love so many of the activities that are on here. It is also lovely that we can share our own idea's to help others. I am so glad that we signed up to Golden Carers - I am always recommending it to other activity coordinators locally.
Do you have something like a commission for the blind
We have that in the US and they provide different devices for blind residents
If not do you have a therapy department because occupational therapy should be able to evaluate and give or make suggestions as to a device you might use
Do you have a special library for the blind residents
We had that also
They sent a blind person to show residents devices they had
They had books on tape and a simple to use device to play the tape
If no one is willing to help you you will have to do some research online to find an appropriate device for the resident to use

The Alexa or echo that does sound like a good idea
