Activities for long term care residents

In most senior care communities, there are residents who prefer solitude or have introverted tendencies. These individuals enjoy being in their bedrooms and often choose not to actively seek interactions with others.

Encouraging residents to participate in scheduled activities can be challenging. Lack of engagement is a common problem. Often, low participation isn’t about the activity itself - it’s due to unseen barriers. The good news is that many of these can be addressed with the right approach and gentle motivation.

So I am the queen of recycling and the staff at my facility all leave me things to see if I can use them for our residents.

I want to thank the person who gave me this Acivity idea on this group. Our memory care unit residents loved tossing the balls in the umbrellas!
