With many families caring for their loved ones at home, finding ways to stay engaged and active indoors during the cold winter months can be challenging, but it can be particularly challenging for the millions of people living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia.
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, more than 400,000 individuals are living with Alzheimer’s in Texas.
Individuals at any stage of dementia can benefit from stimulating activities. Many activities can be modified to the person’s ability. In addition to enhancing quality of life, activities can reduce common dementia-related behaviors like wandering or agitation.
