Who says seniors can’t have fun? They may not have the kind of energy they used to, but even with limited mobility, there are a bunch of things a caregiver can do to keep senior boredom at bay.
Indulge in Board & Card games
Ludo, Scrabble, Chess, Solitaire, Sudoku – seniors love these classics. Simple and fun, they’re sure to keep seniors mentally active and their spirits high. And now with most games available on our smart phones, good times are just a tap away.
Book Binge
If the senior is the kind who loves to read, then there’s nothing more satisfying than a comfy chair and nice book. If you have a kindle, then nothing like it. And if they want to give their eyes a break, there are quite a few online platforms offering audio books.
Art therapy
Art is known to be therapeutic and relaxing. And the best part is, they don’t need to be an artist to dabble into colours and have some fun. Water colours, crayons, fabric paints, relaxing mandala sketch books – go with whatever gets them going.
Movies n’ chill
Who doesn’t like movies, right? And with plenty options in platforms that offer on-demand content in local languages, help them find something they’d love to watch.
Indoor Gardening:
Most seniors love plants. If you have the space in your balcony, then set up a small kitchen garden that they can nurture and keep themselves involved with.
