Engaging in meaningful activities is essential for our well-being and quality of life and in early stages of dementia it is important to stay engaged in activities you have always participated in. It’s important to also take up activities that stimulate your mind and work out your brain.
As dementia progresses it can become challenging to engage in certain activities, and there are a selection of activities designed to support engagement and stimulate your brain.
At the Memory Technology Library you’ll see a range of activity ideas including; a range of stimulating apps for smartphones or tablet computers, jigsaws, puzzle ideas, reminiscence, and many more. You can discuss these and get advice from the occupational therapist on how to adapt and ensure successful engagement. You can also click on the link below to view the At Home Activities booklet put together by the occupational therapist which has a range of ideas and links to activities.
