Bonnie 27th Mar 2018

My mom is 86, nearly blind and has early stages of dementia. Do you have resources for low vison and blind elders? Thanks

Solange 29th Mar 2018 Diversional Therapist

Hi Bonnie, if your mom is in the early stages she may enjoy being read to, short stories, poems. She may also enjoy doing Proverbs, Things that Go Together, Yes or No, and True or False quizzes and Trivia. Don’t forget to offer music she heard when she was younger, have a shoulder massage, pat a kitten or Puppy and have a stroll in the garden..
