Martin, an avid bird watcher, is feeling frustrated while the Stay at Home orders are in place. Perusing the nearby parks with binoculars was Martin’s favorite choice of activity. With the assistance of his care provider, an Activity Specialist delivered pinecones, peanut butter, and birdseed to create an attractive bird feeder. Hanging it by his living room window, Martin is now reunited with his passion and keeps a journal of his colorful friends who come to visit!

Social distancing and sheltering in place can be a set up for mental lethargy, a dangerous state for those living with cognitive decline. In a video call, an Activity Specialist a live Bald Eagle webcam while Ben, her scientist client, made observations about the birds’ nest, their movements, appearance, and the parent’s method of feeding the babies. As they discovered interesting facts through this window to the outside world, intellectual and social stimulation nurtured mental activity that was good for the brain. Interesting and fun!
