I'm reaching out because my mom recently moved to a nursing home after experiencing two strokes. She's showing improvement, but currently uses only one hand and her movement is limited due to the condition.
I'm arranging an old laptop for her so she can enjoy Netflix, Hulu, and some games to keep her entertained throughout the day. The machine runs an AMD 7410 with 4GB of RAM.
She enjoys the following game genres: RTS, RPG, Puzzle. I'll keep adding suggestions if I think of more. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
