World Alzheimer's Month

November is World Alzheimer's Month as well as National Gratitude Month! If you're looking for a meaningful activity to do with someone who has Alzheimer's or dementia, try reading uplifting stories together. Pro Tip: It may seem like Alzheimer's is nothing to be thankful for since it robs so many of so much, but it is important to look for the good and create moments of joy and connection together. Your loved one may not be able to create new memories, but they can understand that you make them feel loved and cherished despite their disease. 

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is November 28! If you're looking for a meaningful activity to do with someone who has dementia, watch the Macy's Parade together! Pro Tip: This is the 98th Macy's Parade. Engage you loved one in conversation about how performers and floats have changed in the previous decades. 

Gratitude Month

November is National Gratitude Month! If you're looking for a meaningful activity to do with a person who has dementia, try making a gratitude tree together! Simply place small branches in a jar, write what you are thankful for on paper leaves, and hang them on the tree. Pro Tip: This is a good way to connect younger generations as well.
