Activity ideas for person with hemiparesis?

Posted: Dec 17, 2016

An elderly family member recently developed dominant-side paresis due to an inoperable brain mass. She was always healthy and active until this. She now has limited, assisted-only mobility, and arm neglect which hinders use of a walker or wheelchair. Does anyone know of one-handed household/functional activities we can have her do? She hates sitting around and doing nothing. It is heartbreaking to see her so frustrated. Tried having her fold laundry, but it did not go well; we will try again later. She has never used a computer, so online stuff is out. We have chosen hospice and so getting ideas from PT/OT is not an option as they are not approved by insurance (still trying to figure all of that out). Thank you for any suggestions. ;
