Fun Things To Do With Mom

Advice / Encouragement

Wondering if there’s any tips or ideas of activities to do with someone who has extremely limited mobility? My mom is able to walk but she is overweight so I do feel like it causes her to move slowly and most of her actions are done slowly esp due to the inflammation she gets in her joints. I’m not that close with her but trying to be better about seeing her. She has schizophrenia so sometimes she doesn’t necessarily always fully engage in our activities. Our conversations are often quiet, pretty limited, and I have to repeat things because she is always deep in her thoughts. I don’t necessarily mind because 1. She can’t help her symptoms and 2. I’m a quiet person too but it’s just kind of hard to connect with her.

Any ideas of fun things we could do that isn’t too physically strenuous but mentally stimulating so she can try to be more engaged? Ty
