Story Telling: Many elders have lost their vision to the point where it is difficult for them to read books still. For those that miss their love of reading, you can help by reading a book to them, or by even having the author of a book come read their book to them. Provide some healthy snacks and drinks, and this could be a very entertaining activity.
*Note: If many people begin to fall asleep during the reading, then stop the book, and tell them that you will continue reading next week!
Book Club: Start a book club at your nursing home! Choose a book to read every month, and then at the end of every month, get together for a snack and to discuss the book. Intellectually stimulating and socially rewarding - it will be a hit!
