Activities For Elderly With Dementia
Proven, quality activities for Activity Professionals – you and your residents deserve the best
Reminiscence activities for elderly with dementia are often very effective, and thankfully they are very easy to provide and facilitate. Reminiscence therapy is simple – provide activities that are effective in triggering memories and then support the person to talk about those memories.
The Daily Sparkle fosters connection on so many levels, helping staff to start speaking to one another as well as to residents.
The newspaper articles and activities provide topics of common interest to several residents, thus facilitating new friendships. They also trigger precious personal memories that help individuals retain their sense of identity.
“We have been using the Daily Sparkle for two years and it has been a wonderful experience for our Residents, its like having a daily newspaper full of interesting facts and quizzes. Our Residents look forward to receiving the Daily Sparkle, and really enjoy group reading and discussion, reminiscing and sharing their own experiences. The daily sparkle has been a life saver and a great source of help through the pandemic especially when most of our Residents were isolating in their rooms.” Leonora
