Virtual Environmental Play-Date!

Taking in a virtual session with your senior friend does not have to be just inside the house. With Spring arriving and the flowers blooming, we enjoyed our Zoom session outside together! Not only does this provide realistic visuals for your partner to enjoy, but the sound of nature enhances the activity as birds sing all around. Tactile stimulation also lends to this scenario as my senior friend can see my hand embrace each flower and plant observed. Asking questions such as, “What do you think this flower smells like?” provides intellectual stimulation and the chance for your friend to express their thoughts and use creativity. We also met a dog on the way! Spring…..taking it in virtually is another way to enjoy the flowers!!
