Video games invade the nursing home
Sydney - It's out with the knitting and dominoes and in with the X-Box and Nintendo at an Adelaide nursing home.
Minister for Ageing Justine Elliot said Thursday that an Australian government initiative she called Wii-habilitation would bring "increased movement and mobility and re-training of the brain."
Equipping nursing homes like Adelaide's Grandview Court with the latest Nintendo Wii video game machines would also encourage visits by grandchildren, Elliot said.//dpa
