So due to this virus can’t visit my mom or MIL. My mom will be ok since she likes to socialize with the residents. My MIL not so much and stays in her room. Looking for ideas of something I can have sent to her that will maybe entertain her. Any ideas. Was thinking of scratch off but don’t think she can do that.
Magazines with soothing photos, of baby animals, gardens, scenic places also tend to divert the mind and induce relaxation.
Unfortunately there is very little that our LO is willing to do, but the staff is very sensitive to her interactions with them, so hopefully they’ll attempt to keep her engaged until we can get back in.
I know there's a lot of info floating around some saying the virus could live on the surface of something for x hours, but others saying on packaging, no.
Workers are the worst carriers of disease and all nursing homes should be shut down.
She loves it! She listens to podcasts and she can even FaceTime and text. She is 83. I gave it to her for Christmas so we had been practicing with it for awhile before the virus. It ended up being a lifesaver.
There are also gadgets that regularly change images or photos.
Puzzles come in different amounts of pieces...
Does she read? I wish i had some better ideas...
Country and Country Extra were also part of that group and also have beautiful photos.
Good luck and be well.
