Walking - its free, fun and lifts the mood of the participants!
Older minds and body's benefit from keeping active and a walking group is a great way to involve everyone as a social event in aged care every week.
People in wheelchairs may also want to join the walking club so it is important to have as many activity co-ordinators and volunteers as you can recruit. Some of the fitter elderly residents may offer to push their friends.
If you do not have enough staff to facilitate a large group you can hold 2 separate walking groups one after the other.
