Fun Inside: Activity Book for Seniors by Diane Hamele-Bena Pdf

As a physician educator and eldercare advocate, I am passionate about enhancing the quality of life for our seniors. I created this book based on years of experience, and customized the activities to be meaningful and relevant to the generation of our seniors today. If you are looking for an easy activities book for a senior with mild cognitive impairment, I encourage you to consider Fun Inside: Activity Book for Seniors. This book includes a variety of relatively simple activities in EASY TO READ, LARGE PRINT, including *CROSSWORD PUZZLES*FIND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PICTURES*WORD SEARCHES (words only across and down) *FINISH THE DRAWINGS*MATCH THE DRAWINGS*COLORINGSome of the activities are designed to spark conversation, for example, "Draw Something You Don't Like." Others are intended to promote critical thinking, and for seniors with mild cognitive decline, all of the activities are intended to be mentally stimulating, but easy enough to solve. Please see the previews of some of the inside pages to assess whether the level of difficulty will suit your needs.

The Activity Year Book by Anni Bowden,Nancy Lewthwaite Pdf

Engagement in meaningful activity is an important aspect of human existence, regardless of one's cognitive abilities. Even in the later stages of dementia, people can still be engaged in activities at a level that allows them to be successful. In fact in these later stages, where cognitive abilities may be waning, the need for activity becomes greater, as cognitive stimulation helps preserve what skills remain. For care staff looking after older people, many of whom may have some degree of dementia, coming up with ideas for activities of a suitable level to keep their residents engaged and stimulated can be challenging. The Activity Year Book solves this problem, offering week by week themed activities. From Valentine's Day quizzes to Bonfire Night word searches, it has activities relating to every important date in the calendar, and also encourages reminiscence and discussion around these events. This book will be invaluable to care staff looking for a simple way of improving the lives of their residents, week by week, all year round.

The Beginner's Book of Senior Activities by Lisa Deutsch Pdf

The BIG Book of Senior Activities - 60 Fun Activities for TODAY's Senior Adults, Volume Three, is a book for leaders to assist in the planning of activities for senior adults. The activities are categorized by month (six activities and one outreach/ month.) Each activity is completely planned with the activity idea, decoration ideas, quotes and scriptures for the month, video suggestions, jokes, stories, and games. The activities are printable for the leader's use and the corresponding handouts and games are printable from the Appendix PDF to hand out to individual seniors.With the baby boomer generation just beginning to retire, the need for senior activities is only going to increase over the next twenty to thirty years. Baby boomers today are not the "pot-luck" generation that their parents were - they want challenging and activities. I believe this book is ahead of the curve for activities that will be in increasing demand as the population ages.
