I have what I believe is a unique situation. Though we are independent and assisted, we currently only have 80 residents, and many of them are younger, like mid to late 50's and early sixties and many are men. I have not been able to find activities to interest them. It has been difficult finding things someone in their 80's or 90's and someone in their 50's and 60's both enjoy. Most of the older residents are women and the younger ones are men. Having social distancing added in the mix hasn't helped. Suggestions Please!!!

I have what may be a unique situation, but maybe not. I hope you all have some suggestions for me. The demographics of the facility where I work have changed drastically over the last year and a half. We now have mostly younger people. Most in their 50's and early 60's and most of them men. I am having a hard time finding entertainment and activities to interest both the younger and my older 80"s and 90"s. I am open to any and all suggestions. My company is asking for more activities, but the ones I am doing often get cancelled due to non attendance. Balloon Volleyball, Bingo, bring the most. Wii bowling and Bean bag toss on an average 6. Everything else is 2 to 5. Very frustrated.
