My 91 yr 'young' dad now lives with me during the winter months in High Point NC. He is legally blind and moves slow BUT he is sharp as a tack, loves his BIG Screen TV, loves to talk about anything and asks lots of question when meeting people. Loves to share stories etc etc.... I work full time, I have caregiver come to my house Tues and Thursday for 3 hours in afternoon and he loves that. I would like to find something he could participant in on some of the other days during week... he loves bingo (large cards), music. Any ideas? Thank you, Judy
I highly recommend them. It's a wonderful resource for home-bound shut-ins.
If he likes to cook, perhaps have him make soup/stew in a crock pot. My dad enjoyed making stews.
If he has any friends who can visit of course that would be nice for him. I had a barber who came to the house to cut his hair but he was able to talk to the barber about male things--his favorite baseball team etc. If his friends are too old to drive, have him call them and they can have a chat. Many elderly are lonely so any chance to talk is an opportunity.
Good luck.
