8 low-cost activities for the elderly.

Looking for fun, engaging activities for seniors that won’t break the bank? The cost of aging isn’t cheap, but that doesn’t mean your fun can’t be! Check out these 8 inexpensive activities for seniors:

1 – Digital games: Free apps that let seniors play their favorite games like Scrabble, Chess or Sudoku can be downloaded to a computer or mobile device. You can often play opponents including the computer, friends on facebook, or a person you’ve never met. Not only are digital games easier to maneuver and play, but they provided mental stimulation that is crucial to combating cognitive decline and memory loss.

2 – Gentle yoga: Gentle yoga or chair yoga doesn’t need to cost you a mint. Free, online instructional videos are available on Youtube and sites like DoYogaWithMe.com. The gentle, flowing movements of senior yoga in combination with a focus on breathing and relaxation helps stretch muscles, reduce stress and lower high blood pressure.

3- Charity walk: Outdoor fundraisers and charity walkathons give seniors the opportunity to exercise and support a cause close to their heart. By asking friends and family to sponsor your participation, you can cover entry fees and bolster proceeds that get donated to the benefiting charity.

4 – Colour: Adult colouring has taken the world by storm in the past few years, and for good reason! Colouring has been proven to alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety and help seniors self-soothe with beautiful images and colors.

5 – Continue your education: Did you know that many UK universities offer free or subsidized informal learning, language, and non-degree college level classes to seniors? Check with your local higher education institution or AgeUk.org to see what “Further Education” or senior-level programs they have available, and know that many classes can be taken online from the comfort of your own home.

6 – Attend an art show: Tap into your creative side by attending a gallery opening or art walk near you. Typically free and offering some sort of refreshment, gallery openings and art walks are great ways for community members to learn more about local artists and art programs.

7 – Visit your library: You’re never too old to have a library card! Libraries aren’t just great for checking out books, movies, and publications for free, but they often offer classes, lectures, book readings, public forums and volunteer opportunities too.

8 – Record your memories: Have great stories to share? Want to give your grandchildren something special? Record your memories by voice or in writing. Use a smartphone to start compiling “voice memos” or snag an inexpensive digital recorder on Craigslist or GumTree. Or start your own blog using free services like Tumblr, Medium, LiveJournal, or WordPress.

Staying active in old age doesn’t have to mean saying “Cheerio!” to your savings. With a little creativity and a clever approach to accessing the free resources available to you, you’ll feel motivated to try new things more than ever before!

Dealing with the impact of bowel issues

DEALING WITH THE IMPACT OF BOWEL ISSUES

According to the NHS, it is estimated that at least 50% of people have diverticula by the time they are 80 years old: equivalent to 1.5million people; 5% of people- over 3million of us- have them by the age of 40. The condition can become so extreme that over 100,000 people a year are admitted to hospital because of it1. The NHS also estimates that up to 1 in 5 people in the UK suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). A further 0.25milion are affected by Crohns Disease, with almost 20,000 hospital admissions a year from severe symptoms.

The statistics demonstrate that the associated hygiene issues- constipation and/or diarrhea- are situations that many involved in care will encounter.

Yet they are ‘invisible’ disabilities, and not commonly discussed.

If you’ve ever had even the slightest issue when ‘going’, either through constipation or diarrhea, you will understand how much of an issue it becomes if it’s a daily problem. The impact on daily life of diverticulitis specifically is acknowledged, with patients reporting a “substantially reduced quality of life” socially and emotionally2.

The impact on sufferers’ lives is, to quote the report, “debilitating”.

It’s not just the ’bothersome’ symptoms of the pain and bloating, but the potentially serious of infection and bleeding. The same report further acknowledges that enhancing the quality of life of patients will benefit them, and the healthcare systems that support them.

There is much that a change in diet and /or medical treatment can achieve, but the afflicted still has to deal with daily life.

Things as simple as ensuring a ‘well-fitting’ toilet, and/or utilising assistive technology can have positive benefits, for patients’ hygiene, health and psychological wellbeing….

In terms of a ‘well-fitting’ toilet, whilst there is no ‘right way’ to sit on the toilet, it is accepted that bladder and bowel evacuation is facilitated if the person is sat upright, feet on the floor, and/or bending slightly forward. Leaning backwards, and/or having your feet swinging in the air, impedes the whole process.

Cheeks need to be slightly parted. The buttocks should be supported by the seat, not be squashed together.

If the assistive technology route is pursued, consider equipment such as a wash & dry (automatic shower) toilet.


Dr Ken Townend, who suffers from diverticulitis, had a conventional WC at his Derbyshire home. He was feeling increasingly dejected by the impact of the condition on his life. His bowels would only open every 5-10 days, meaning he would be sat on the loo on those occasions for a while.

Once finished, his rectum would be sore, making it painful to clean with even the softest toilet paper or wipes; in balancing the pain with hygiene, he would worry that he had properly cleaned himself. Sometimes he would even bleed, exposing him to risk of infection.

He has changed his conventional WC for a wash & dry toilet, in his case the brand leader, the Clos-o-Mat Palma Vita. The unit has built-in douching and drying, so he no longer has to try and wipe clean: remaining seated and pressing on the flush pad after toileting triggers simultaneous flushing and warm water washing, followed by warm air drying. He says, “I get far fewer sore bums, which I used to get all the time. And I am confident I am clean.”
