Would bringing my Nintendo Wii to a nursing home be a good service project?

Question

I have heard of older people playing Wii, but I wasn't sure if it would be considered a service project? I have to do one for my Church and I think that it would fun for them.

Answer 1

No.

1. You don't get to play it

2. They might not be able to play or understand it

Answer 2

I think it's a great idea.   It will probably be a welcome change to the weekly accordion player they are used to.  Sure, they'll probably need help with it - but that's the "service" you're providing.  Go for it.

Answer 3

Yes.  Check with management.

Answer 4

Yes, I think that would be nice.  I read that many of the nursing homes already have them and the seniors love it.  You might want to call around and find one that would like it demonstrated for them.  I'm a senior and my son brought his family over with theirs on Christmas day.  It was very noisy when someone bowled a strike, but outside of that it was great.

Answer 5

yes they acually have them in nursing homes and assisted living homes.. hard to belive but yes do it.

Answer 6

it would be a nice idea -- but you should check with the people in charge to make sure it's not a risky activity for the residents

good luck
