Activity care refers to care for older adults who need assistance, aimed at improving physical and cognitive functions while ensuring they have fun.
Care in this context spans a wide range of activities, including exercises and games that involve movement, arts such as crafts and music, and outings like walks.
By providing this variety of care, we can bring out smiles and motivation in older adults and energize their overall daily lives.
That’s the idea.
As people age, it’s common to see them become reluctant to go out or communicate with others, but it’s wonderful if their everyday life can become even a little more colorful and enjoyable.
Please use this article as a reference and enjoy lively, engaging times.

The days when you had to go to a karaoke bar whenever you wanted to sing are over.
Now, home karaoke systems are available, making it easy to enjoy singing.
So why not open a karaoke café at a care facility? Guests can fill up on food and drinks while singing or listening to their favorite songs—it could be a truly wonderful time! Singing also has great benefits like relieving stress, stimulating the brain, and improving cardiopulmonary function.
We hope you’ll open a health-promoting karaoke café and have fun with it.
A café you can choose yourselfNEW!

♬ Sweetie – ME:I
Here’s an idea for a café where guests can choose and enjoy their favorite snacks, like at a dessert buffet.
By offering seasonal treats such as sweet potato pastries, dango, jelly, and oshiruko, it can become a recreation that celebrates each of the four seasons.
Even within the same facility, everyone has different tastes and dietary needs.
With this idea, I believe everyone can join in with peace of mind, so please consider trying it out.
Simply adding the fun of choosing can turn the usual snack time into a wonderful memory.
Strawberry picking outing recreationNEW!

Different fruits have their best seasons, don’t they? If you’d like to enjoy an outing with an older adult, how about fruit picking? I’d like to recommend strawberry picking, which is popular with both children and adults! Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, which can help prevent muscle weakness and a decline in immunity, making them a great choice for seniors.
With strawberry picking, you can eat the berries you choose right on the spot, making it a fun experience and a wonderful memory.
Sushi outing recreationNEW!

In recent years, conveyor-belt sushi restaurants have become more common, making it easy to enjoy sushi casually, but the idea that sushi is a meal for special occasions is still firmly rooted, isn’t it? So for a special outing activity, how about going out for sushi? These days, conveyor-belt sushi places offer not only sushi but also a wide variety of items like noodles, fried foods, and desserts, so I think older adults can enjoy the experience with a fresh feeling.
Please have a great time while reminiscing about fond memories related to sushi.
Garden Cafe TakoyakiNEW!

It’s not a place where you actually go out into the garden, but a café where you can enjoy looking at a beautiful garden.
The menu is takoyaki! Takoyaki is easy to make with a takoyaki grill, and it’s really delicious when freshly cooked.
In addition to the classic sauce, offering various options like cheese and mentaiko would make it even more enjoyable.
If anyone wants to give it a try, it could be fun to make takoyaki together! Takoyaki is a snack for any season—eating it in summer brings back memories of festivals, and in winter it warms you up.
Festival Outing ActivityNEW!

Speaking of summer, it’s all about festivals! Many of us spent wonderful times there with our parents as children.
Stalls selling yakisoba and shaved ice, goldfish scooping, and shooting games still line the streets just like the old days.
If you visit a festival as an outing, older adults will surely feel a childlike excitement bubbling up.
The lively atmosphere unique to festivals will likely bring out more smiles.
Let’s all create new festival memories together while wrapped in that nostalgic ambiance.
Coffee cart serviceNEW!

Hearing “wagon service” brings to mind the Shinkansen, doesn’t it? The cart is stocked with a variety of drinks and light snacks, and it’s a delightful service where you can order and receive things right on the spot.
Even though the taste shouldn’t change, some people find coffee more delicious just because they feel it was brewed especially for them.
If you offer this in a care facility, it could be a great opportunity to enjoy conversations with the residents.
Please take the time to pour a special cup for each person with care.
