Looking to keep your memory care residents active and social? Try exercising together using a weighted ball.

Set up your room with chairs in a circle. Start with the weighted ball in your hand and encourage people to pass it around the circle. You could play music as you do this. You can also build on this upper body exercise by asking your residents to hold the ball, raise it up in front of them and then raise it down before they pass it to the next resident.

Supplies: 
Chairs
Weighted Ball

A simple, yet effective form of exercise that can also be social.
