About this Book: |
|
Though many books have been written about Alzheimer’s Disease, there are none published like this one. Several factors set this book apart from the rest. First, large, color photographs of adorable babies doing cute, conversation stimulating things are presented in such a way as to maximize the attention of memory impaired persons. Second, activity ideas related to these photos are presented in an easy to do, yet mind stimulating format. Third, there is wealth of useful information offered.
After reading the section about how to use this book and the segment discussing maximizing positive relationships with the memory challenged, anyone will be able to share this book with a memory impaired person, effectively.
The portion explaining strategies for running a successful group will give the professional, at the very least, many good ideas.
The resource pages are extensive and well thought out.
In short, there is something for everyone who has dementia or is concerned about someone who does.

My mother, who has had dementia for ten years and resides at an Assisted Living facility, and I found this book, to be entertaining and a facilitator of happy times.The large colorful photos of babies reminded her of so many wonderful experiences she had with her children and grandchildren. The book made her laugh and sing. I will share this book with her often.I recommend this book to any person who has a loved one with dementia. Helene Walerstein, M Ed
