Finding meaning and connection in small moments can go a long way toward making the journey through memory loss a little less painful.
October 31 is Halloween! If you're looking for a meaningful activity to do with someone who has memory loss, try watching a fun movie together, like It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown or Hocus Pocus, while enjoying popcorn. Pro Tip: If you live in an area with lots of children, your loved one may enjoy the job of sitting by the door and passing out candy to trick-or-treaters.
October is Polish-American Heritage Month! If you're looking for a meaningful activity to do with a person who has dementia, try taking an armchair adventure to Poland! Pro Tip: Enhance the experience with a meal of pierogis (dumplings) and Polish sausage and some traditional polish music.
October is National chili Month! If you're looking for a meaningful activity to do with someone who has memory loss, try making your favorite chili recipe together. Pro Tip: Engage your loved one in conversation about their favorite foods and favorite family recipes.
