Why not call an Agency in your area and ask them this very question? They may have people on their list who can help!

Good luck!

True, there are organizations that volunteer. We have a group of volunteers in our area that are musicians. They visit and play music at people’s bedside. They really enjoy it. Hearing live music is beautiful!

We have a local radio station that broadcast in our area. They are specifically for the blind. They are fantastic!

Volunteers read to them, fiction, nonfiction, major newspapers, medical journals, short stories, poetry, on and on.

Just as many sighted people listen because it is a great public radio station.

Check in your area for programming.

Yes! there are certified home health aides or Nursing Assistants that are well trained and experienced to work with people who are bedridden and blind and they make sure that the Activities of Daily Living are met in the comfort of their homes at the same time treat them with respect and diginity.

Unfortunately this is very difficult and you are not likely to find any good long term solutions. Music and audio books are the most common suggestions.

Is there a compelling reason he is "bedridden"? Lifts are available for the home that can assist caregivers in getting people out of bed, and I would do everything possible to get him up and into a supportive wheelchair, just doing that would open up possibilities of joining the family in normal activities and at meal times, even the possibility of getting outside for walks or just fresh air.

I don’t know but others will have suggestions.

Are you saying, ‘aids’ as a certain product to occupy them?

The only thing that I can think of is a fidget blanket. Maybe audio books as well.

fidgets offer soothing repetitive ways to occupy the hands of those with dementia and other cognitive difficulties and they are not a way to occupy time, especially not for someone describes as "mentally alert".
