100 Movie Recommendations for Seniors
For average 80-95 age range,. Couple 60-70
It takes an age trying to find one that's available free. and that anyone agrees on.
Far better to choose one they've not seen, I wonder, and there's less opinion attached?
I want to start up a regular weekly movie slot (UK audience), it's not been. Something ive done much before. Have struggled with decision making, and finding them!

Well 2 are pretty much bedbound. One no longer wishes to come down so often because of hip trouble, but shares a room with her husband. Four just like their own company, and one of those refutes to join in. Two of them can be coaxed. One is worried about a medical concern which needn’t be the biggest concern. A few vary in spending time in their rooms, depending on wellness mentally/physically.

I am paid only 4 hours in afternoons. We have around 23 residents at the moment. Up until recently we had some new residents and some preferring now to spend time in their rooms.
So now the mix is almost 1/2, 1/2 of residents down in the communal lounge and in their rooms (sometimes their own choice but nevertheless everyone needs contact/stimulation).
How would you divide your time in a day/week to be fair to all?

I am an activity coordinator in a home with residents mostly without dementia or low level dementia. There is a couple that have higher needs, wander and are harder to engage.
The home has gotten busier recently as well. With many more residents and some that don’t like doing typical games, bingo, or puzzles etc.
The lounge is kind of split in half so it’s hard to do one activity with residents in both sides. Especially where the main television can’t be seen so easily from one side for certain activities.
A limited number spend time in their rooms and don’t come down to the lounge. The home has about 22 residents currently.

What an amazing site with so many activities to stimulate our elderly people and to make them enjoy the togetherness of everything you offer as activities. I am from South Africa, Johannesburg and being part of such a huge "population" of carers having the same Purpose in mind, is a huge priviledge to me! I am the Nursing Manager of a Retirement home and keep on encouraging my residents to participate in this journey made possible by you. Thank you, you are such an inspiration!

My residents have brought up a couple of times about being interested in attending interesting talks as an activity.
This suits me well, I like to share information, research etc.. but I don't have a lot of time to produce anything myself.
Does anyone run talks already? And if so, do you know of any resources of say powerpoints or anything on specific topics?
Thanks
