I absolutely love this site. I find the resources and ideas invaluable in my role as a Recreational Activities Officer in a large Nursing Home. The abundance of ideas, quizzes, and printable forms are helping me help the residents find their inner “fun” which had previously been missing. THANK YOU from myself and the residents!!

Is there a way to ask for movie suggestions? Our assisted living tenants prefer the movies we show have no sex, drugs, alcohol, swearing, violence....prefer funny if possible. I am kind of tapped out of ideas! Thank you!
Hi Kelly
I think the older movies are just what your residents would like
Here is a list on golden Carers

We absolutely love the Disney Channel with movies like:
The apple Dumplin' Gang
All of the Herbie movies
The Animal kingdom
There are too many to list.
Hi Katy
Thank you for your suggestions I agree Disney movies are great
Also the movies on the Hallmark channel are nice but they have commercials
Thank you so much!!
how do you get your movies? DVD or streaming or a different way?
We signed up for Netflix
I also got DVDs from the library
Thank you for the suggestions in the list! Like Kelly, I have the same challenge. I am new to this world of recreation (have worked 3 months) and have put on 2 movie nights. There are many great movies out there. However, I don't typically watch many personally which adds to the challenge for me - but we are also limited in time to 90 minutes which REALLY cuts down on the good choices that are also wholesome! I have been able to find some movies available on YouTube or archive.org as well (archive.org has a lot of classic tv shows too!), also Tubi or Pluto (but they seem to have commercials).
