Karen Griessel, Thornhill Manor’s social worker, said the games, while tons of fun, were designed to help improve residents’ hand-eye as well as hand-eye-foot coordination.

“Incorporating easy and effective hand-eye coordination exercises into daily routines can provide numerous benefits for older adults, including improved motor skills and cognitive function,” said Karen.
