Best ways to adapt a late stage dementia activity(part 3)
Happy Thanksgiving to all the loyal readers and to tne new readers of this highly informative Alzheimer’s and related dementia, activity blog
Were you waiting with baited breath to find out what is sure to bring a smile to just about every person with dementia?
The answer is BABIES. People are hard wired to love and care for babies.
If not humans would be extinct.
Anyway, if you cannot have a live baby visit, show persons with dementia baby photographs or home movies of babies..
You can center a days worth of activities around babies and what they do during the day.
Of course, it might be a bit much to care for a baby and a person with dementia at the same time.
You may want a live baby visit for short periods periodically and have baby photographs and other baby props around for dementia persons to investigate.
What also works well….
Come back tomorrow to find out.
