For those living with dementia, it is vital that they keep their minds occupied and stimulated as often as possible for as long as possible, as it can help to maintain everyday skills and independence. A good way for people to stay stimulated are to use some specially designed activities for people with dementia. This is because they provide both carers and patients with an opportunity for fun and playfulness, while encouraging independence, social inclusion and communication.
Dementia activities also provide an excellent way to drive relationship-centred dementia care as many of the activities encourage dialogue and cooperation between patient and carer. Our collection of games, jigsaws and picture books have all been specifically developed to improve dexterity, co-ordination, and mobility in dementia patients.
If you are looking for dementia games or other activities for dementia patients then we recommend creating a dementia box. The box is a dementia activity designed to enhance short-term memory as well as allow both patient and carer to share memories from the life of the patient. It's easy, interactive, and beneficial. We’ve also got a handy guide on how to use Art & Crafts as Dementia Therapy.
