Sit with Josephine and talk to her. Share your favorite activities with her, and ask her to share her favorite activities with you. And once she does, you can suggest some activities run at the facility that may be similar.
Who are you to tell a resident what will benefit her? Maybe Josephine prefers to be alone.
