I'm also in charge of the social committee in a 55 and older area. I will be doing an Easter egg exchange right before Easter. Everyone will bring a dozen hard boiled eggs, plus coloring equipment. We will then color our eggs and exchange them. I know how to do coloring using stuff like onion skins and beet juice and dark greens. That is what I am doing. We are also giving a ladies tea with several kinds of tea, nice table cloths and everyone brings little sandwiches or scones or little tidbits. Everyone must wear a hat of any kind to attend the tea party. i am always looking for new suggestions, so I have a suggestion list pinned up too.

They can do anything they did before they had diabetes.
I continue to ask this question of all : WHY do you think that seniors and/or people that have a disease need to be treated as if they were children? Just read over some of these questions. It makes me feel like a six year old kid instead of 61 years old. We do understand English.
Maybe your senior citizen would like to play hop scotch.

There are 2 here with motorized vehicles and danger danger--stay out of their way. A few months ago one moved in across the hall from me. She could barely move around by herself--she had care givers that came in the morning and the evening. I went out my door and she was sitting in the hall with her dog on a leash, I put the dog in her bedroom and she was so big there was no way I could pick her up--got a blanket out of her apt and laid her down and called 911--they came and got her her blood sugar was 518. She never returned her sisters came and got her and moved her back to Arkansas. The ones here sit out in the common area and knit or yammer for hours--they have pets and one has a caregiver--one overmedicates herself. Behind closed doors I am sure they watch TV or crouchet or what ever--one does have a computer. Guess that wasn't much help. My friend in Wa travels all the time she is hardly ever home. She does water aerobics 3 times a week.

Walking is the best exercise a senior with diabetes can do. Your doctor will confirm this. Walking lowers the blood sugar, exercises the heart, reduces neuropathy, improves balance, increases oxygen intake, elevates the mood, engages the mind. What more could you possibly ask from an exercise.

I don't know if they can do some very mild home exercises. They would have to check with their Doctors. But, sorting out all old photographs that mostly we don't put in albums is good.
A scrapbook of their life, for the grandchildren. You can get such great stuff for scrapbooks today, at craft shops.
Bonsai, or pot planting, that does not take too much psychical effort.
Making a family tree, painting. bead work, photography, even if it's just the changes of season in their garden.

What does diabetes have to do
with any activity in or out of
the house? You can live your
life and do anything you want.
Diabetes should not limit you in any way--except by eating a
realistic diet.

Both of my Grandparents (87yrs old) have diabetes.
They live a rather normal life. They cook and clean and garden and go volunteer to help the old folks( they call it) at their church.
Pop cannot hear and his vision is very poor. He had 2 feet of his intestines removed last August with cancer.
Gran just had to have her leg amputated just above the knee back in February, but it has only slowed them down not stopped them.
