Nursing home uses creative games to keep its residents fit and healthy

This nursing home in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, uses creative games to keep its residents fit and healthy.

Jol Kruisselbrink of Bewegen is Leven (Moving is Life) is a trainer, coach, and social worker who uses the power of play to help elderly people keep on top of their fitness.

The clips show nursing home residents taking on a range of activities such as fishing cones off treadmills, tossing bean bags with their feet, and blowing bags off cones.

"I invite residents of nursing homes to be physically active", Kruisselbrink explains. "I try to do this in a creative way that responds to their interests. What kind of work or hobby do they have? I noticed that they move more with everyday life materials work. Playing is also very important".
