About this Activity

Maria’s Place is your go-to hub for activities for seniors that inspire creativity, spark conversation, and bring genuine enjoyment to everyday life.

Whether you’re a caregiver, activity coordinator, family member, or older adult yourself, you’ll find a wide variety of thoughtfully designed ideas to suit different interests, abilities, and energy levels. From lighthearted printable quizzes, word games, and reminiscence worksheets to crafts, group games, and caregiver tips, each activity is created to be engaging, meaningful, and easy to use.

Many of our activities are suitable for — and adaptable to — people living with dementia, with options for one-to-one support, small groups, or independent participation. We believe the focus should always be on the experience rather than the outcome, encouraging confidence, connection, and enjoyment along the way.
