Some Activity Ideas for your Elderly Loved One

Good Day Caregivers,
Looking around on the net I found these couple activity ideas that I thought were really great. Please note that even people that have lost some or most of their vision can do these activities.
Here are some activities you could have your loved one do. Place several different items in a bag or bucket . Blindfold the resident taking turns, have them pull out one item at a time and try to identify it by touch. Keep track of how many they get right and separate the ones they didn't get, then take the blindfold off and let them see the wrong ones. Add or subtract items for the next person.
Another great activity is to get a couple of bags of cotton balls. Open the bag and place on a table. Using a spaghetti spoon or large spoon, a large bowl or bucket, blindfold the person and see how many cotton balls they can get in the bucket. With these games your loved one doesn't have to be able see or have use of both arms.

Have a wonderful day! Take care of yourself and get some good restorative rest!
