Meaningful Games and Activities for The Elderly

We would like to express our satisfaction on the development of SilverPad entertainment software. SilverActivities did a very professional job to develop products for seniors in Singapore context. The design of SilverPad software was simple and easily operated by our seniors. We are satisfied with the quality of their services and solution given to us and with the communication flow through the project. On top of all that, residents had given positive feedbacks, most common cited from them was the senior friendly interface. It was easy for them to navigate through the contents independently.

Residents of the home even 75 and above found SilverActivities to be engaging. The components that are most liked by the residents and used extensively are the Sorting and matching component and the Guess It as some of them had reminiscence factor in it. The Brain Games part is suitable for the higher cognitive functioning residents. In the Popular Games section, the Kuti match was most enjoyed by residents in pair of 2 encouraging socialization.

The SilverActivities games allows my clients to engage in cognitive rehabilitation in a way that is enjoyable to them. Clients were motivated to engage in the games as it involved topics that are of interest to them such as local foods. The gradual gradation of the activities from easy to complex allows for the games to be used with clients at most stages of dementia. Overall, it is an effective way to engage more passive individuals in cognitive rehabilitation.

Our elderly clients enjoys the games as they are stimulating and interesting for them. They feel happy and satisfied that they use up a new gadget. Helps therapist to engage clients cognitively while they use Standing frames and Tilt tables for standing during rehab. Recently we recommended to our new OT colleague who started to use for her clients too!

We are using the SliverActivities games and content in our programmes. We also find that it is a good IT tool for us to facilitate intergenerational interaction between seniors and youths/children.

My mother only speaks Tamil and not tech savvy. So having a tablet with Tamil language and simple user interface helps her enjoy the benefits of the internet. SilverPad is very useful to simplify usage by elderly and also manage the contents remotely by family.

I think SilverPad is a great idea and helps to get seniors who are not tech-savvy get started on using a mobile device. It works as intended and gives us the flexibility of adjusting what our mum sees on her screen.

Every weekend when I visit, I'll sit and use the SilverPad with my grandmother. The SilverPad and it's Cognitive games helped my grandmother and I develop quality time together. The games keep her mind active and focus, it also builds a sense of accomplishment when she is able to complete the various levels. I also use the SilverPad to load her favourite Teochew soap operas which she can watch when she is not in the mood to play any games. The SilverPad is an easy-to-use and engaging device. It's empowering for the old and intriguing for the young. Many family members can use the SilverPad and it's activities together.

During this pandemic period, I have seen the need and benefit of technology to reach out and entertain our elderlies. We were locked down in the NH for almost 2 months and elderlies could not go out and mix with others to watch TV or join group activities. We’ve been seeing them in the wards and with our SilverPad units we were able to give them some entertainment and cognitive activities, which they are able to use with minimal supervision. SilverPad is specially designed for elderlies with simple interface and bigger icons, uses pictures that are useful for reminiscence and language options.

SilverActivities has been widely used in our day care & rehab centres, either as an individual or group activities. The SilverActivities has a wide range of cognitive games which are suitable for all levels of cognitive impairment from mild to severe. With the app it’s easy for the elders to touch & play, also it auto grades from easy to difficult stage matching to the elders ability. Since the pictures are locally relevant & the elders were able to relate themselves and participate well. SA web based slides with many different themes were so useful during the circuit breaker to engage the elder remotely. I have been recommending SilverActivities to the caregivers, which the family members finds it as a good resource to engage the elders at home. SilverActivities is one stop portal for many with locally relevant cognitive games for elders & its elder friendly.

The primary motivation in SilverPad stemmed from finding a suitable online cognitive activity for my mother who is recovering from a stroke. I explored the SilverActivities website and found SilverPad, the ultimate tablet solution which I was looking for – portability + accessibility + versatility + manageability. With SilverPad, my mother has found something meaningful and mentally stimulating to play with that will supplement her regular therapy sessions. This, I have no doubt, will add immeasurable value to her recovery.

Easy to Navigate Screen designed specifically for the Senior Citizens Users. Highly Recommended to all Senior Users to learn digitally in a new platform.

Love the big icons! Easy to use. Only setback is that it’s a little large for my mum’s hands. Good for viewing but not so much on handling. But it’s ok.

Simple and easy to use. All the apps needed all together and big enough to be seen.

Good for the elderly; big font and icons of apps are a bonus.
