Activities are essential to those living with dementia. Whereforcare.com is the childcare and senior care ratings and reviews information website where those who have experience of care, such as parents, relatives and professionals are encouraged to write about their experiences in order to help those who are looking to choose the right care.

hi to all of you caregivers,

I know how difficult your job is because my father was the main caregiver to my mother.

I dedicated many hours of research into the needs of activities recalling the many struggles my mother had.

Memory Jogging Puzzles and Memory Exercise Cards were developed for those with dementia and their caregivers. They have been tested with great results.

“Your puzzles do indeed show some promise, due to the fact that they engage persons with their emotional and recognition memory, but then rely upon "here and now" problem-solving skills.” Mitchell Slutzky, Ph.D., Clinical Geropsychologist
