Enjoyable ways to spend time at nursing home

« on: February 25, 2009, 07:29:42 PM »

When visiting my mom I found that one of the most enjoyable activities is looking at pictures. I recently bought her a digital picture frame and loaded it with several pictures. When I visit her we flip through them and have a good laugh Cheesy

. I loaded it with a mix of old and recent pictures and this is much more convenient compared to lugging in several photo albums. Anyone else have any other tips?

My mom and I had a really good visit the other day. Her roommate was not in the room so we watched a movie on TV together which is also a nice way to spend time together.

I'm going to visit my grandma tomorrow so thanks for the tips. It is always so depressing when I go visit.

Good tips. Another thing that my mom and I do is play cards. She is confined to a bed but she can use her hands so we play spades or blackjack.

It is nice to read a spiritual book or a novel to the person if they are unable to communicate. I have also read work which is self serving but I do think that the person's spirit is aware of your presence so it is nice to spend time with them.
