If your senior is just alone at home and do whatever he or she can do to entertain their own self, and by entertaining, we mean watching television, and you think that your elderly should be doing more than that, Trinity Care Adult Day Care Center in Morrow Georgia couldn’t agree with you more.
Even though we think they are too weak to do anything, they should be out there exploring the world and doing things they were not able to do when they were still younger.
Elders should spend most of their days socializing, playing games, and playing instrument and a lot more cool stuff because they deserve it than just staying in their own house and watching TV.
Instead of just filling the rest of their days with nothingness, Trinity Care Adult Day Care Center in Morrow Georgia suggest that you expose your senior to the following tasks and activities:
1. Cognitive Stimulation
This is a good activity especially to those seniors whose mental capability has failed them. How can we stimulate the minds of our beloved seniors? You can expose them to board games such as:
- Monopoly
- Scrabble
- Chess
- Card games
- And many
2. Relaxation
Everybody needs to relax every once in a while and this includes our seniors. They can do this by enjoying themselves with the company of their family and/or friends and at the same time, get themselves pampered up with manicure and pedicure. Of course, part of this activity is watching TV but there are other things they can do to relax than to keep relying on the TV for fun.
3. Daily tasks
Having been unable to attend to their chores can be frustrating to our elderly. That is why having daily tasks like baking and cooking can be a real treat to the older ones. There are also other times when it is good to plan activities for seniors in which they will be exposed more to the outside world. This includes shopping, tending to the garden and many more.
4. Medical Activities
All days should not only consist of doing what the seniors want to do. It is also of equal importance for seniors to attend to their physical and medical needs because you know the popular saying that goes “health is wealth” should have not stuck around for nothing.
Other interesting activities you can do with your elderly family member include the following:
5. Gardening
Why don’t you try growing your vegetable patch with your senior in your yard? You can not only make them occupied with something but you can also add some ingredients to tomorrow’s dinner with the vegetables you help grow together.
6. Music therapy
Music has been around with us ever since humans live. This is because music has a soothing and healing effect on any person. Let your senior experience this too.
You can let your beloved senior enjoy the mentioned activities by introducing them to Trinity Care Adult Day Care Center in Morrow Georgia, where we prioritize seniors of all conditions and circumstances easily.
