Common questions
What is a good one-on-one activity for a senior visit?
Use a familiar topic, print conversation cards, and read one prompt at a time so the activity can stay relaxed.
Can these be used at bedside?
Yes. Conversation cards and word cards can be used from a chair or bedside table when writing is not comfortable.
