Often it’s difficult to think of gifts for the Alzheimer’s patient.  Also, it depends on which stage they’re at in their illness…whether they recognize or remember.  Below is a list of suggestions.  Some may entertain and bring comfort.  Others may simply make caring for them easier.

1. Baby Doll
2. Stuffed Animal
3. Clothing with Back Closures
4. Non-skid slippers
5. Food they like and is good for them
6. A non-breakable snow glow ball
7. A tea party in the activity room
8. A lap quilt or afghan
9. A pretty pillow
10. Family pictures in non-breakable frames
11. A small scrapbook or photo album of familiar scenes
12. A CD of familiar music
13. A DVD of a movie they enjoy
