Besides Bingo can you suggest activities and games for Seniors who live in Senior Housing Facilities?

That is a really good question and I will try to ponder it but do you have any sort of "abilities" ranking for the "Senior Housing Facilities" - there are many different types

independent Living
Assisted Living with different degrees and needs for assistance
Nursing Homes - again with different degrees and needs for assistance

For those who can - there are simple charades. The category can be as easy or as hard, as generalized or specific, as the crowd can muster.

What about paring up in smaller groups for a game of Concentration - matching items together.

Movement programs can be designed for those that can follow directions even those that must sit while performing -

When my Mom was in a Memory Care Unit - they would sit each resident that could hopefully participate around a solid big table and push a very light weight beach ball into play - residents would just knock it back and forth. This also helped the staff watch who was participating or not as a measurement of scale in each one's assessment.

When my Mom was in Independent Living - all kinds of crafts were done - they once made tissue paper flowers- some on stems and other just big - the staff placed them around the 12 floors of the complex for a specific time period.

It just all depends on the seniors, their independent abilities, their interest.
