Overview

Bring out the best in each person with dementia with these versatile, easy-to-implement Best Friends activities. What do best friends do but play, laugh, and reminisce together? They support and reassure each other when challenges arise. A best friend knows your habits, what you like to do, and what makes you feel good. The Best Friends Book of Alzheimer's Activities puts all of these qualities to work to help you transform the activity programming at your nursing facility, adult day center, assisted living facility, or home care setting. Staff, participants, and even family members will benefit. Anyone can bring enriching personal qualities to an activity-and here are the instant tools to do it. In fact, with the ideas and suggestions found in this book, any member of a program's care staff can turn the simplest interaction with a person with dementia into an activity that helps satisfy essential physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. At its heart, the Best Friends approach is about the art of being together. Planning activities for people with dementia may seem challenging, but The Best Friends Book of Alzheimer's Activities shows how easy and natural it can be. Plus, all activities are adult in content and provide meaningful engagement for participants.
