Are You looking For More Nursing Home Activities
to get the Elderly moving and engaged?

As an activity director, recreation coordinator or eldercare caregiver do you,

Would you find it helpful to have a place you can return to again and again and find something new every time? Something you haven't tried before? Maybe a variation on an old classic game that you've played a hundred times?

 

That's what we are here for. An activity idea generator for more elderly activities for your nursing home activities program than you can do in a year. We hope to continually be adding more resourceful activities for you as people like yourself contribute their own suggestions of games and activities that have worked well for them, or a simple twist to a game that would be nice to try.

 

You will already find here many ideas and caregiver resources to help you. From Nursing Home Activities for dementia patients to trivia games, chair exercises, and resources for musical instruments and audio books too.

My name is DJ and I want to make Nursing Home Activities Resource your favorite stop for activities for seniors in nursing homes, at home or in eldercare facilities. Let me know what I can do to improve the site for you and what else you would like to see here. I want this to be an ongoing resource for you and a library of ideas that keeps growing, so there is no end to your choices.

The testimonies of other caregivers and activity coordinators will be refreshing for you and these activities won't get outdated, like some of the ideas you keep in your binders that you've forgotten about.
