The Alzheimer Society of Oxford is here for you! We have created this social recreation page to help you stay virtually connected through stimulating activities.

Activity Ideas.

Our office is now CLOSED until further notice. While our office is closed, we will continue to provide supportive services in other ways. You can contact your Family Support Worker by email or at 1-877-594-2368.

We are also accepting new clients. If you would like support, please contact our intake Family Support Worker, Jamie O’Leary at 1-877-594-2368 or email [email protected]

How to use this page

There are two menus below, with tabs that you can click on to reveal different activities.

  • The Activity Ideas menu under the yellow puzzle piece contains activity suggestions that are grouped by interest or category.
  • The Weekly Schedule menu underneath the green calendar has a different tab for each day of the week, with activity ideas for that specific day.

We will be updating the schedule on a weekly basis, so there will be a list of fresh ideas each week for you to try!

Click on the tabs below to expand your options. We hope these activities keep you positively engaged as we are physically distancing ourselves.

Note: When you participate virtually in the fitness portion of Minds in Motion, please take care to create a clutter-free and safe environment & make sure you have proper footwear. Please only participate as much as your body feels comfortable – this program is intended to gently move your body – so don’t push yourself beyond what feels okay.

Sunday
  • Pick your favourite activities from last week or any that you missed! Come back on Monday for a new set of activities.
  • Need a pick me up? The Joy4All Project is a Canadian-based hotline for seniors and others who are feeling the effects of social isolation to call and listen to pre-recorded jokes, stories, or uplifting messages. If you know of someone or could use an uplifting message yourself, feel free to give their hotline a call at 1-877-569-4255 or visit their website at www.joy4all.ca. And, if you know of a good joke or would like to spread some joy of your own, you can send in your message(s) to [email protected].
  • Enjoy some Songs of Faith with Joanne Does this Sunday.
