Carers across the world are constantly faced
with the task of ensuring those they care for
are stimulated enough throughout the day.
Dementia is both a physical and mental
challenge, so stimulation is important to
providing them with normal, active life.
This can be achieved by arranging activities
for those with dementia to do throughout
the week to keep them mobile.
Activities for dementia are especially
important as they:
• Help maintain skills
• Improve self-esteem
• Provide social contact
• Allow the person to express their feelings
• Helps the person maintain independence
• Compensate for lost abilities
Activities such as
painting allows
the person living
with dementia a
way to express
themselves and
will feel a sense of
accomplishment
once the activity
is over, even if
they aren’t
typically a creative
person.
Research shows that
exercise for people with
dementia could improve
their quality of life
dramatically.
Therefore, carers may
encourage those living
with dementia to take
part in some light
exercise, such as walking
or chair-yoga.
It can be comforting for
people with dementia to
hear music from their past.
If distressed or upset,
playing music they might
know will enable those
living with dementia to
relax.
Carers that look after
multiple people with
dementia might arrange
music based activities for all
to enjoy, as a group.
Creating ‘life-story’ books is an
excellent way to discuss their past
experiences. Memory loss is one of
the most common symptoms of
dementia and working on
maintaining their memory is key.
Carers might assist the person living
with dementia in sticking
photographs, fabrics that mimic
those in the picture and a variety of
textures into the book for a relaxing
activity for them both.
