[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The really established, highly rated (and expensive) ones like Kensington Park Senior Living ones have tons of activities both onsite and via field trips (they have simultaneous activities) that include guest lecturers, in-house classes/courses, etc. My impression was that the residents were exhausted by the end of the day. All the other places sort of phone in the activities with bingo, coloring, group exercises, singing, etc. [/quote] This. However, even with the ones that aren't as great with activities I saw some residents having a ball. It's about attitude too. I hated camp, sometimes didn't like school, but I didn't get to choose. I learned to make the best of it. Often their dislike is about life stage and the best thing you can do is help them focus on the good, bring a favorite food/share a favorite memory, be a positive distraction, change the subject and then learn to accept that sometimes you cannot please.[/quote]
