| In this blog post, Sympaticare offers 17 fun summer activities for nursing home residents. |
At Sympaticare, a senior care management company based in New York State, summer is one of the most enjoyable times of the year for our residents. We work hard to ensure that our residents are provided with fun and stimulating activities all summer long.
In this blog post, our nursing home administration company will offer some ideas for engaging outdoor activities, stimulating indoor activities, and fun summer events.
Engaging Outdoor Activities for Seniors
Elders in our senior care facilities are able to enjoy outdoor activities suitable for their individual needs and abilities. During warm weather, senior residents can soak up Vitamin D, engage in light exercise, and socialize with other residents, staff, or visitors.
Here’s a short list of engaging outdoor activities for residents to participate in:
Gardening
Outdoor exercise
Walks or hike
Bird watching
Picnics
Reading
Stimulating Indoor Activities for Seniors
Stimulating indoor activities are a great way to not only keep residents stimulated, but also a significant social opportunity for them to interact with other residents and caretakers. Studies have shown that brain-stimulating activities can reduce the risk of dementia.
Some stimulating indoor activity ideas for nursing home residents include:
Board and games
Book club
Puzzles
Chair exercise
Movies and shows
Explore new hobbies
Teas or socials
Fun Summer Events for Seniors and Families
Let your nursing home residents share the fun by offering a variety of activities and events that they can enjoy with their families.
Some examples of fun summer events for seniors and their families might include:
Ice cream social
Grandparents day celebration
