As an exercise instructor, I began working with the elderly and those with learning difficulties many years ago. It has since, become my full time occupation to provide mentally stimulating activities, as well as physical games within many care-homes.
I have purchased a great deal of games and activity equipment over the years, which have been unsuccessful, too difficult for the majority of residents to use. The bulk of my games for the elderly have been personally adapted into more user-friendly versions.
This site will be committed to equipment that is realistically useable, having been tried and tested within care-homes for the elderly and those with learning difficulties.
I have picked five items that are most popular with the residents of the many care-homes my team and I regularly visit.
