Games for the Elderly and Disabled :
Torquay, Torbay Devon Area.

We provide other activities which are extremely therapeutic and are also very practical. Some people may be going through the process of leaving a home, centre or sheltered accommodation to return home, and in order to prepare them for the process they may have had OT (Occupational Therapy) help up to the time that they leave.
We regard our activities as an aid to Occupational Therapy, and it can be seen quite clearly in the Baking activities we provide.

It is a great achievement to see a pile of ingredients turned into a cake, pasties or other edible substance, and it is a great delight to then eat it also.
For some it is quite a challenge, for others a great pastime.

We play many games with residents / individuals, and the games we play can be very therapeutic in on way or another.

Playing card games can help stimulate memory, as can Dominoes or other board games. It also helps with gentle exercise in the process of actually moving pieces, cards, dominos etc.
It can also help keep the brain active when calculating equations.

The best thing about playing games however is the Fun it induces.
