My mom is bedridden (getting out of bed for short intervals into wheel chair), on oxygen and at home on hospice. My dad is with her, as are my brother sister and I, but she has very little interest or ability to do what she used to enjoy. Other than visits with family and friends, and occassional tv, she doen't do much, and is getting bored. She rejects offers to play games, use her computer, read books, etc., and I am at a loss as to what to suggest so that my dad can get some much needed sleep. Any suggestions?
One thing some older people enjoy is being "interviewed" for a video history. If you have a camcorder of any kind, tell her you want to record her memories. Ask her questions like: What is your earliest memory as a child? What's your best memory of your parents? How were things different then than now? Who was your best friend in high school? How did you meet Dad? What do you consider your greatest accomplishment? What was the most fun thing you've done in your life? Your best vacation? The proudest moment of your life? etc.
She may even be beyond this, but sounds like you've covered any other ideas.
