I tried number paints with my husband. He did not enjoy them but maybe your mother would. All my husband does is walk around the house if not watching TV movies. It is a real problem keeping them busy and not bored. He goes with me everywhere for something to do, store, meetings, nail salon, estate sales, bank, etc.

My mom follows me everywhere. I can't keep her busy either. I do leave dishes in the sink and have her help me change her bedding n fold towels. Other than that she is up n down 14 stairs at least 5 times a day looking for her car keys. Gives her exercise!

So sorry about your Mom. I lost my Mom to Dementia/Alzheimers and it was a very difficult but rewarding, it makes me smile when remembering the time we spent together. I hope you will be able to find comfort in your memories as time passes. Take care of yourself and get rested. In His love ❤️ kitty 😺.
