Hello I am new to the sight so was wondering can anyone recommend me any of the activities i can do with an elderly blind person with limited mobility and dementia too. Thank you for any advice,
Have you considered using audio books/music? How about using a dvd exercises...see if they are able to follow instructions with your help? Take them for a w/c walk maybe ?
Thank you all for the extra advice. Does any one have any links to songs with clapping like “if your happy and you know it clap your hands” that are not babyish i use some on my seniors but feel a bit bad thats its as they are for toddlers. Thank you .
I'm thrilled that I discovered this marvellous site. It has become my "bible" for ideas, information and creativity. My clients absolutely love the activities I've picked up from Golden Carers. Thank you.

Thank you for any advice,
The first thing that comes to mind is sensory activities
https://www.goldencarers.com/sensory/
Of course not all of these activities are appropriate
Also, music activities are good
https://www.goldencarers.com/how-to-plan-music-activities-for-dementia-care/3192/
Specifically, What does this person like or liked to do
can you adapt any Activities used to like to now
Exercise is also good, but again you will have to adapt, depending on the mobility issues
