Blow bubbles....
Sing- even if you can't!
Laugh often.
Wave scarves while dancing...
Involve children,
Color in coloring books.
Arrange fresh flowers.
Don't worry about the hours, CREATE FUN MINUTES. You may have to step out of your normal comfort zone to adapt to the situation. Be creative and free- bring this to your loved one- a gift!
NOTE: Activities must be dementia stage appropriate. Example: A simple box with costume jewelry can be delightful for someone to sort in early stage dementia but a safety issue for someone in middle-late stage who might think the earring is candy.
