TABLET ACTIVITIES TO SAVE YOU TIME
The introduction of the touch tablet in retirement homes has made the residents happy! Innovative, modern, new technology, they like it, and it must be said, it has a “magical” side.
Indeed, the animation project in a retirement home or EHPAD is essential to maintain the joy of living and happiness between residents, staff, caregivers and their families. The tablet then appeared as a mediation tool between the staff and the residents, but also the residents and their families, who can now play with their parents when they come to see them, or simply send them photos and messages from a distance.
The animation in retirement home 2.0, which has already seduced more than 1200 establishments!
DIFFERENT WAYS TO USE TABLET GAMES
Each school uses tablets in its own way, and here are the different ways to use them :
- in a group workshop with several tablets or with one tablet projected on a large screen so that everyone can participate.
- in individual workshops, especially when residents need to be stimulated on a particular function, or if they do not like to participate in collective activities.
- in a protected unit, with dedicated, adapted games that do not put the players in check,
- in the PASA and day care center
- in free access, for the residents when they ask for it or for the families when they come to visit them..
MANY PROFESSIONALS USE IT
Several professionals in the establishment use our memory games on the tablet every day, each with their own angle of attack:
- the animators to stimulate the elderly
- psychologists and psychomotricians, as part of their memory workshop
- the coordinating doctors can follow the individual statistics on the web platform.
- the caregivers, who are increasingly asked to participate in the animation, can easily create general knowledge quizzes or music quizzes on the tablet and enjoy playing with the residents!
THE OBJECTIVES OF OUR ANIMATION PROGRAM
THE KEYS TO SUCCESS
- Adapting the games to the abilities of each person: the games are designed so as not to put the residents at fault. In addition, the professional’s role is to guide the resident towards games that are adapted to him and that will help him work on the functions he needs to stimulate.
- Accompany the residents in the handling of the tablet: 4 to 5 sessions of accompaniment are necessary to teach them how to handle the tablet (lay the finger flat, do not press too hard, the Quit button,…).
- Multiply the opportunities for games and test it in different configurations (see Different ways of using the tablet)
- Don’t put a filter on it: some residents will surprise you with their abilities! Don’t hesitate to try the tablet with them, even with very dependent people, because magical moments can happen…
Our establishments tell us that, with a little training, they ask for the tablets to play alone!
