Guide: choosing a puzzle for seniors

A well-chosen puzzle gives a real sense of success. Too easy and it bores; too hard and it discourages. Here is how to find the right level for each resident in LTC and retirement homes.

Choosing the number of pieces

13 to 24 pieces: for people with moderate to advanced cognitive impairment or low vision.
35 to 49 pieces: for people with mild impairment who enjoy a small challenge.
100 to 300 large pieces: for independent residents or a group activity over several days.

What makes a puzzle adapted

Look for large, thick pieces that are easy to grip, a clear image with contrasting colours and a familiar theme: animals, farms, nature, scenes from the past. Puzzles with a tray keep pieces in place and prevent losses.

Tips for facilitators

Start with the edges to give the task structure.
Use the picture to spark conversation and memories.
Leave a puzzle in progress on a common table so anyone can add a piece in passing.
