Patriot’s Day activities for those with dementia(part 2)
When you are discussing Patriot’s Day or any day for that matter, if the questions you ask are too hard then give the person with dementia a choice of two possible answers
Or you can say:I think it is……..
Or do not ask questions. Just make a statement with the last word or two left out. See if the person with dementia spontaneously says something to complete the phrase.
You can also play the sensory matching game adding some patriotic items like small flags or items that are red, white and blue.
What about reading part of The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. You certainly could have a side discussion about Boston, the Revolutionary War or horses.
Come back tomorrow for more
