My Mom moved in with us 3 wks ago and so far so good. She is 89 and has macular and is leagally blind. My question is does anyone have any ideas about how to keep her mind challenged? Like she used to love word search and other things like that, something to still keep her thinking instead of sleeping her life away.
Additionally, AbleData has a great collection of hobby and recreation items for people with blindness, low vision, and reduced dexterity.
Lastly, check with your state's assistive technology project, as they should equipment they can demonstrate (and may even loan) for recreation, stimulation, and just everyday living.
DT suggested reading. I agree that is a great way to interact with each other. I too did and still read to my mother daily.
