I'm looking for games to play with my resident at an assisted living facility.

Are you looking for games that involve large groups or games that can involve 1 - 4 players (for example to have at different tables)?
Solitaire, jigsaw/crossword puzzles, word search for just one person to play.
For more than one player, Checkers, Yahtzee, Dominos, Trivial Pursuit, Bingo, and other board games.
Simon Says was always good for laughs. We did it a couple of times in the 8 weeks I spent at a nursing home. It can be played with as many or as few as are present.
I was wondering what are some great games for a large group bout 8 people , we do bingo and penny Annie .
Team scategories. Dry erase board marker and gather ideas for a timed period and compare answers and u get points for ones that the other team did not have
Remember when. Finish the phrase or song title words from words , see how many words you can make from a word or phrase
You can ask the residents of your community what games they want to play and what activities they would like to take part in. As for the residents of our community, we play bingo, chess, scrabble, poker, dominos and billiards.

Everyone's family has someone that's living in a nursing home. My mother-in-law's nursing home recently had a beauty pageant for the residents. They had their hair done, got to dress up with jewelery and make-up.
