Everyone has activities that are “meaningful” to them. Even people with cognitive impairment have their own “meaningful” activities, but as they get older and their cognitive abilities deteriorate, the number of times they do those activities decreases dramatically. In fact, many family members may want to organize programs for their patients, but they do not know what to do. Sometimes family members will start with common interests, such as painting, calligraphy, music, etc. Some elders may like it, but some may not. In fact, family members can carefully review the elderly's life before arranging activities. Think about what they liked to do before they got sick and what their daily routine was. If they used to exercise but are afraid of getting lost, they can consider some simple and easy exercises that can be done at home. If they used to gamble on horse races but are afraid that they may not be able to make good use of their money, they may consider simulated gambling games that are now popular.
