I’m the president of youth volunteers at a big old folks home in my city and they have lots of activities for them. As someone already said, arts are very good and should be a priority. Seniors love that kind of thing. Also, if the population you’re dealing with isn’t severely cognitively impaired, small discussion groups (current events, memories, etc.) might be a good idea. Movie and bingo nights go without saying, obviously.

Depending on your budget, it might not be a bad idea to hire musicians to come in and play their music. If you live in a big city, you won’t have any trouble finding some who would love to hold a concert for a group of seniors.
