I am not a man, lol but having taken care of my Dad for 4 years in a Senior building. From my and observation it was interesting to see how different the men and women interacted.
The women were more inclined to go to the activities. I know with my Dad he liked to talk about the good ld days. He always loved animals so I think your idea of getting them involved in working with shelter animals would be great. Also, depending on the level of assistance they need, could they maybe talk to school children about their time served in the armed forces? If not, maybe have them form small discussion groups with different topics and activities. Just from my limited exposure it seems the men did better one on one or small groups. JMO |
