Wii beats cards at home for elderly

Residents at an old people's home in Lincoln have decided that they no longer want to miss out on the fun 21st century technology offers.
Now, thanks to a group of students, they have invested in a Nintendo Wii.
And it has proved more popular than dominoes, Scrabble and cards. Some residents at Ermine House have taken up virtual golf and tennis, sports they must have thought they could never play again.
There is even time to sharpen up their bowls skills before they attend the local centre to play against other homes.
Resident Peter Taylor, 84, of Lincoln, said: "It beats dominoes.
"In the afternoons people are usually asleep. But once you know how to do it and what to do, it's great."
Tracy Turfrey, 48, manageress at Ermine House, said there were plans to set up a virtual bowls tournament between other homes.
She said: "It's proved very popular. Two of the chaps have learned how to play it while the others have watched in amazement. It's that little bit different. I think it is something they would have liked to play when they were younger and had kids. It's something they could have had fun with."
The Wii and games were bought with £400 raised by first-year social work and nursing students at the University of Lincoln, who held a three-leg race as part of their coursework.
Coral Sirdifield, research assistant at the University of Lincoln, said: "The students have gained a great sense of achievement as well as skills from the activity. It is great to see students engaging with the community in this way."
