The words "computer game" seem to stir thoughts of play, wasting time, worthlessness, and other thoughts of this kind. In many instances you would be entirely right in thinking that. After all, if you?re sitting at your computer while at your job, and your boss walked by, he wouldn?t appreciate you playing games instead of doing productive work. For seniors the opposite is true. As those of...? Read?MoreJan. 17, 2013 11:35 am
We lost a friend last week. I suppose, in a retirement home, losing a friend is not that unusual. After all, we must all leave this earth at some point in our future. All this creates in our minds the question of what is a friend? I'm sure all of us have many friends - in fact, sometimes you wonder if you have a friend for all occasions, or at least it seems that way. How important is that?...? Read?MoreJan. 7, 2013 5:43 pm
More gifts that keep on giving. There are many things that I?ve noticed about Waterford Place and most of them are its people. They are many and varied. I?d like to tell you about one of them, one that I think of as a brother, at Waterford Place, we are all family.

Retirement Home Living. As time goes by and you begin to reach the Senior era certain change of life decisions need to be made.

The more you age the more safety becomes the main issue in your decisions....? Read?MoreDec. 25, 2012 2:46 pm

The ?Oh it?s good enough for Ma" Syndrome. In my last blog I begin a series regarding the impediments to Computing for Seniors. That there are impediments is quite well known. Almost all of them are due to physical deterioration of some sort or other. This is quite common, and fortunately many of these impediments can be reduced in severity in one way or another. I will write more about that in...? Read?MoreDec. 11, 2012 3:04 pm
I have been asked, ?Why do you think seniors need special textbooks? Why can?t they use the ones that are available in just about any book store, in abundance?" The simple answer is that they think differently than younger people, and their minds don?t operate the same as when they were younger. So often I hear comments about seniors that classify them as too old to do anything right, or that...? Read?MoreNov. 24, 2012 5:14 pm
In early 2011, I was asked to teach a computer learning course at Waterford Place, a retirement home for active seniors. When searching for material upon which I could base this course, I did not find texts that would suit my purpose. Keep in mind that seniors see and do things differently based on their varied backgrounds. I needed a course that would keep their minds active, allow them to keep...?
