Activites for your loved one

There is an abundance of fun mental activities that can enrich your loved one’s cognition and stimulate certain brain functions. Oftentimes, when caring for the elderly, we realize that many of them already have hobbies and practices that promote mental stimulation throughout the day, including: 

• Genealogy research (building the family tree) 
• Solving crosswords and Sudoku 
• Reading 
• Trying out new recipes
• Arts and crafts
• Assembling jigsaw puzzles
• Visiting historical sites

A dedicated, seasoned caregiver from Comfort Keepers can encourage your loved one to adopt new pastime activities or adhere to old daily routines that increase mental wellness. For instance, your mom or dad can keep a medication schedule calendar or log their daily habits for meals and resting times. No matter how ordinary or banal these tasks may seem, activities such as these can help boost critical thinking, decision making, and memory skills. 

When it comes to genuinely caring for the elderly, we understand that each client we serve is a unique individual with unique needs. This means that we will make every effort to identify what kind of mental activities your mom or dad enjoys and help them stay stimulated and engaged. Our caregivers can play strategy games with your loved one, take them on trips out of town, drive and accompany them to a local bingo night or some other interesting community event, and more.
