Old Time Radio

In days gone by radio was big. Seniors will remember it well. Now we call it Old Time Radio!

When radio was big, just before TV, families used to gather in the living rooms and sitting rooms where they would grab a comfortable pillow, spot on the floor, some knitting or mending to do, and they would listen to radio shows and performances we now call The Classics of Old Time Radio.

The choices are numerous and sure to bring back special memories and some new laughs to a lost form of entertainment that the seniors in your care will surely appreciate. It is also a wonderful activity for those with visual impairments or those that are too ill or bed ridden to join in some other activities.

Audio Books for Seniors

Audio books can be as relaxing and entertaining as old time radio shows. And the selection is just as vast.

Activity coordinators in nursing homes and other eldercare and palliative care facilities could encourage the seniors to join in to listen together and participate in a trivia quiz afterwards. Many people will remember books that were their favourites, or have favourite authors. To be able to share that with others could be very pleasant and enjoyable for everyone.

There is no end to the selection and hours of relaxation and enjoyment to be had entertaining the imagination.
