Abstract
Although computer games have become popular in our society, their possible use with the frail institutionalized elderly has not been adequately explored. This article suggests that computer games may have a role to play in meeting clients' needs for fun and mental stimulation and inenhancing self-esteem. Moderate mental and physical impairments did not prevent 50 nursing home residents from participating in four computer games which were especially adapted for this population.
