Your possibilities are up to you as what can be done, we suggest games, puzzles, reading, going for a walk, sitting outside and enjoying the weather, engaging in craft ideas, whatever the patient is capable of doing and they might enjoy. We provide tools to help conversations and can provide small games and puzzles if needed.
