- Any games are valuable in adult day care. Many games are adaptive–meaning that they have a larger print or simplified instructions. Some typical games are:
- - Card games such as Uno, Gin Rummy, or Go Fish
- - Bingo, charades, checkers, and dominoes
- - Puzzles can also be suitable activities, as people can work
- on them together without pressure or expectation to perform.
- There are also larger print pieces for people with sight impairment.
Exercise and movement activities are an important part of everyday activities in adult day care due to the focus on rehabilitation and physical improvement. Some of these classes will be conducted in chairs for people who might have mobility problems.
Group dining and snacks are a part of any day care programming because people have to eat!
If your loved one has dietary or swallowing concerns, make sure you discuss with the staff ahead of time to make sure they can accommodate any modifications. Most day care communities can work with dietary preferences.
Arts and crafts are only limited by the imagination of the activities director. Some typical arts and crafts activities include ceramics, painting, collage, finger painting, jewelry making, flower arranging, and potting plants.
For participants with dementia, sorting tasks can be helpful. Sorting involves taking similar objects and placing them in containers or piles.
One of the most significant benefits of adult day care is the participants’ opportunity to interact with one another. Social isolation and loneliness are significant problems for people with cognitive and physical issues. Most have stopped driving and depend upon family to help them with their daily needs. There isn’t the availability of social interaction with peers.
In adult day care, you don’t get to choose your friends, but having other people to talk to and engage in activities with is positive. These interactions help with mood, concentration, memory and can assist with nighttime problems like sundowning. Your loved one won’t necessarily get along with everyone, but the opportunity for social engagement has a normalizing effect.
Getting outdoors for fresh air and sunshine improves mood, allows for social interaction, and provides exercise.
These walks are supervised to make sure everyone is capable of participating and that no one wanders off. Weather permitting, daily walks are integrated into the programming of adult day care.
