Activity Directors - here's a round-up of summer olympic games ideas to use with your seniors in your memory care units or assisted living
For people with Alzheimer's disease and their families, a remembered moment from the past is a gift. Memory loss and confusion are the hallmarks of dementia and Alzheimer's, as the diseases progressively damage brains cells, but photographs, music, and memorabilia from the past can trigger memories and provide a bridge for caregivers and loved ones to communicate and connect. A Memory Kit is a box or bag filled with items and activities centered around a place, time, or theme. A decade-themed kit could contain famous photographs from a decade, a CD with music from the era, informational booklets with facts from that time, political buttons, or anything that evokes a sense of the time period.
