TURNKEY ACTIVITIES TO SAVE YOU TIME
The introduction of touchscreen tablets in retirement homes has delighted residents! Innovative, modern, new technology, they like it, and it must be said, it has a “magical” side.
Indeed, the animation project in retirement or nursing homes is essential to maintain joy and happiness between residents, staff, caregivers and their families. The tablet then appeared as a mediation tool between staff and residents, but also between residents and their families, who can now play with their parents when they come to visit them, or simply send them photos and messages remotely.
Retirement home entertainment 2.0, which has already won over 1,200 establishments!
DIFFERENT WAYS OF USING TABLET GAMES
Each establishment uses tablets in its own way, and here are the different ways of using them:
- in a group workshop with several tablets, or with a tablet projected onto 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 don’t like to take part in group activities.
- in a protected unit, with dedicated, adapted games that don’t put players in check.
- Day Care dedicated spaces.
- freely accessible, for residents when they want it or for families when they come to visit.
MANY PROFESSIONALS USE IT
Several of the facility’s professionals use our tablet-based memory games every day, each with their own angle of attack:
- entertainers to stimulate the elderly
- psychologists and psychomotricians, as part of their memory workshop
- coordinating doctors can monitor individual statistics on the web platform
- Medical and Psychological Help staff and care assistants, who are increasingly asked to take part in entertainment activities, can easily create general knowledge or music quizzes on the tablet and enjoy playing with the residents!
THE OBJECTIVES OF OUR ANIMATION PROGRAM
Stimulate your residents’ cognitive functions (executive functions, attention, concentration, learning strategies, etc.)
Breaking isolation and promote social and intergenerational ties
Prevent and identify fragility
Stimulate curiosity and the desire to play
Group activities to encourage debate and exchange among residents
Developing well-being
THE KEYS TO A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM
- Adapting games to each individual’s abilities: games are designed so as not to put residents at a disadvantage. What’s more, the professional’s role is to guide the resident towards the games that are best suited to them, and that will help them work on the functions they need to stimulate.
- Helping residents learn how to use the tablet: 4 to 5 coaching sessions are needed to teach them how to use the tablet properly (lay the finger flat, don’t press too hard, the “Quit” button, etc.).
- Multiply play opportunities and test it in different configurations (see “Different ways of using the tablet”).
- Don’t be fussy: some residents will amaze you with their abilities! Don’t hesitate to try out the touchpad with them, even with very dependent people, because magical moments can happen…
The homes tell us that, with a little training, they’ll be clamouring for the tablets to play on their own!
