Hi all! My name is Sarah & I'm an activities assistant at a retirement community, but I work mainly with residents in our Health Care facility. Most of them have very short attention spans and can not follow long stories. I was wondering if anyone knew the name of specific books or authors I could use for either a short story or poetry reading activity. I find that the humorous ones work the best at keeping their attention as long as it doesn't require much thinking. Unfortunately though I can't find many that I feel are suitable to seniors (as opposed to children). If anyone has any ideas I would definitely LOVE to hear them!!!
Thanks,
Sarah
