Activities for Alzheimer's..?

Question

I'm volunteering at an assisted living facility with the alzheimer's residents and I need some activities that I could do with them. maybe some arts and crafts or something?

Last week we made beaded bracelets but many of them were not interested and wanted to sleep or just watch instead. So i need something that they will be interested in.

This is the first time i have worked with the elderly; i'm usually working with preschoolers.

thank you !

Answer 1

Rubber stamping is easy and can hold interest for the short term.

Answer 2

This would be a good time to take advantage of the research and experience that is already out there.
