Therapeutic Activities is a constant battle between just entertaining and actually providing Therapeutic Stimulus.
This means that there needs to be NEW Ideas, Games, Crafts, Reminiscing, Visual and Audio with almost every session. In some cases due to physical impairments, one session alone may need to be split slightly differently to compensate.
I and many of the other Activity Providers have constantly battled to supply Activities which are fresh and at the same time can meet the budget of either the Activity provider or the homes, depending on how the activities are funded.
I have been constantly searching for new activities, crafts, games etc and have now come up with a range of items which can help anyone working as an Activity Provider, and beyond.
Set out in specially designed packs, these Activities not only provide Therapy but are also extremely competitively priced.
Our online store is NOW OPEN!.
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.
