Looking for ideas on how to keep a fidgety senior from getting into trouble. My 100 y/o stepdad [View all]
& mom moved into assisted/independent living a couple of months ago. Before that they were living in their own home where he enjoyed working in the yard and tinkering in the garage. Since they moved he's been going stir crazy and can't sit still. They participate in the various activities but in the last week they've been on lock down due to a resident testing positive for Covid.
Trying to keep him out of trouble is akin to keeping a 2 y/o out of trouble. I told her to get a kiddie pool, fill it with dirt, throw in some weeds & leaves and put it on their patio.
Any suggestions?
