Everyday activities with older adults

This volume offers a wide range of practical interventions, from cognitive and emotional stimulation to motor, manual and recreational activities, including innovative approaches such as the Montessori-Inspired Method for Older Adults (M.I.M.A.) and music therapy. The book provides a comprehensive pathway to better understand ageing in its various forms — healthy, pathological and “successful” — and to design activities genuinely focused on wellbeing.

The manual guides professionals step by step in planning and delivering activities, including observation grids, assessment scales and numerous practical worksheets with ready-to-use materials. The proposed activities are flexible and adaptable to different levels of autonomy and functioning. The volume stands out for its practical, hands-on approach, clear and accessible language, and the wealth of ready-to-use resources, offering activities that can be tailored to diverse settings and levels of ability.
