I used to work at a nursing home, and my job was exactly this; activities to make life fun for the residents. It’s such an important job and I’m glad activity workers are getting attention.

I love this! Just seen you guys on the BBC news here in the UK, what a great idea! Made my day thankyou.

Of course I have to be the one to write something (That was also so's this.)

The residents are still too close.

There needs to be something that fun, only safer.

The workers seem sweet.

Excellent. Ah, the Game of Life, quickly followed by a game of Operation....

Why do I feel like I've seen this exact clip years ago?

[SpaceAcesFull]

Ummm that lady on the right is lucky her handle didnt go right in her eye socket.

Awesome, what a great idea! I just wonder who are those party poppers with the thumb down? Are you that negative that a bunch of elderly people having fun is a no no in your books? SMH
