I’ve been working as a certified care worker for 17 years. I’m Nanaka, a caregiving web writer. I decided to pursue this profession because I wanted a job that would help people. Having worked in day care for many years, I’ve experienced a wide variety of recreational activities. Exercise set to music, in particular, always created a cheerful atmosphere and was very well received. I’d be delighted to continue delivering writing that resonates with readers through caregiving-related articles. Thank you for your support.

A snack-making activity is very popular among seniors.

Speaking of September, there’s the Moon-Viewing Festival (Otsukimi) and the autumn equinox (Ohigan).

Classic treats include dango and ohagi.

Snacks made with seasonal ingredients like chestnuts, apples, and pears are also recommended.

Incorporating seasonal elements can stimulate seniors’ brains and may help improve cognitive function.

It’s also said that thinking through the steps of a recipe can help prevent dementia.

Grape jelly cake

[Elderly Recreation] Rec Craftsman Series Part 173: Whole Seasonal Grape Jelly Cake

Grape jelly cake

It would be fun to enjoy a snack activity using autumn flavors and seasonal fruits.

Let’s make a whole grape jelly cake using seedless grapes with edible skins.

The method is very simple: mix sugar and gelatin into water, heat to make the jelly mixture, then pour it over grapes that have been firmly packed and arranged in a mold, and chill until set.

Since swallowing whole grapes can be a choking hazard, cut the grapes when slicing the jelly, or halve them before adding them to the mold.

It’s a smooth, easy-to-eat treat that goes down nicely.

Let’s make some delicious crepes that bring a taste of spring.

Mix flour and eggs to prepare the crepe batter.

A frying pan works fine for cooking, but how about trying a hot plate? With a hot plate, you can set it on the table and make the batter right there.

Of course, you can also prepare the batter at the table, so you can sit while making it.

If you make crepes while seated, even older adults who find it difficult to stand can participate.

Once the batter is cooked, add strawberries and whipped cream, roll it up, and add extra toppings.

Tasty crepes are sure to satisfy older adults as well.
