Ah yes,
the clients who are able to participate in activities.. One of my friends [who is a Learning Disabilities Nurse] told me of the perks of the fun you can have between work. I had this grand image of doing my work with a smile on my face in-between playing cards, board games and generally having a natter whilst drinking copious amounts of tea and destroying packs of Bourbons within minutes.
Unfortunately, my main client is an elderly chap with quite bad dementia and struggles with anything at the best of times with mild banter. I have been reliably informed that although he's never been the most talkative man, he doesn't need much stimulation to wear him out.

I keep telling myself it's only temporary, as if it was permanent, I seriously would either begin masturbating in my clients house which is just a tad too creepy or just kill myself.

If they're not talkative or don't enjoy interaction then indulge yourself (not in a wank though). Take up a hobby that'll get you through the long hours in his house. Even take an online course. Laptops are good cause you always look like you're working when you're not especially to old people (except when you have your pants down and are making guttural animal noises to the screen).
