Memory Jogging Puzzles
I love this:
Memory Jogging Puzzles are puzzles and playing cards designed especially for dementia or Alzheimer’s patients.
The puzzles are easy to complete in one sitting, are sized to fit in a lap, have large pieces and the pictures have age-appropriate nostalgic themes such as Norman Rockwell paintings since dementia patients can often more easily recall things from their past.
Other thoughtful details include matte surfaces on the pieces in order to reduce glare and interlocking pieces that won’t come undone when the next piece is placed.
The puzzles are also a good way to practice motor skills, problem solving and memory.
