Seniors With Arthritis Can Still Enjoy a Quality of Activities

Arthritis can be a real piece of work for many senior residents because it causes them a lot of pain and limits their mobility. Their usual activities and hobbies that they used to enjoy may now be too difficult to do without experiencing sharp stings in their joints.

Life’s At Home Care would like to round up a few of the many of the fun and mind-stimulating activities that your senior loved ones can do without exerting too much effort to move around or at all.

• Listening to audiobooks
  Many senior residents love to spend time reading books, but some of them can no longer read well without straining their eyes so much. Introducing them to the joys of listening to audiobooks can benefit your senior loved one in many ways. They need not strain their eyes, and they can also do other things while listening to audiobooks.
• Listening to music
  If listening to audiobooks can entertain your senior loved one, so will listening to music. Good music can uplift their spirits and take them back to the good old days, especially when the song reminds them of something or someone.
