[For Seniors] Enjoy at Day-Service: A Collection of Fun Event Ideas (1–10)
concertNEW!
https://www.tiktok.com/@magonote_hanazono/video/7392076294676155656Why not try holding a concert at a nursing care facility? Actual research has shown that continuing to play musical instruments has positive effects on older adults’ cognitive and brain functions.
There are many kinds of instruments, so you can choose one that suits you and enjoy it as a lifelong hobby.
To improve, you need to practice a little every day, but if you only practice, you might get bored along the way.
That’s why we recommend organizing regular concerts and setting a goal to perform.
It will energize your practice, and you’ll also enjoy communicating with fellow music enthusiasts.
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.
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.
Aquarium outing recreationNEW!
Aquariums are places where you can watch a variety of creatures going about their lives, and part of their charm is that some make you feel as if you’ve dived into the ocean.
Since the basic activity is to look at the tanks one by one, I think it’s a place you can enjoy casually.
Let’s let our thoughts wander to places we don’t usually see—what the world under the sea is like and what kinds of creatures live there.
It’s also great to carefully observe the different creatures and try to find a favorite.
Picking out a souvenir themed after your favorite animal might make things even more exciting.
Shopping outing recreationNEW!
In today’s world, where logistics are well developed, unless you live in a very remote area, the things you want arrive at your doorstep within a few days.
I think that’s a wonderful service for older adults as well, but aren’t there times when you want to see and choose things with your own eyes? In that case, how about going on a shopping outing together as a recreational activity? When you go with everyone, just looking around is fun, and choosing items together creates memories that make you want to treasure what you buy more than if you chose it alone.
Kissa Riku: Extra-thick Soufflé PancakesNEW!
If you want to serve sweets at a café activity, how about ultra-thick soufflé pancakes? Unlike regular pancakes, they’re big and fluffy, piled high with whipped cream and fruit… just imagining them makes your heart dance.
You can make soufflé pancakes at home as long as you have the ingredients, so give it a try.
The keys to a fluffy finish are stabilizing the meringue and letting steam escape in small amounts while cooking.
When you turn out plump, airy soufflé pancakes, everyone is sure to smile!
Rooftop CaféNEW!
Meals and drinks enjoyed under the blue sky are something special, aren’t they? On nice days, why not open a little café on the rooftop? The fresh air will refresh your mood, and soaking up the warm sunlight will lift your spirits.
Opening a café outdoors might seem challenging, but with just a large table, some chairs, and drinks, your rooftop will quickly transform into a charming café! Sipping coffee or tea while enjoying outdoor activities like blowing soap bubbles could make for a wonderful memory.
