My spouse with Altzheimers has gotten into Pour Painting. He now has his work in an art shop. There are SO many people on Facebook doing this!! Hubby does 4 paintings a day and is having a blast!! As long as I keep him in paints and canvases he is incredibly happy and content!!! ( I’m not going to talk about the paint on our faucets, cabinets, patio, light switches, wood flooring)
…..now I can let it go and see that he has fun. We are off now to Hobby Lobby for more paint and canvases……

I love doing Puzzles

Her favorite music from the past, game shows that are not complicated, word search puzzles

My Mom loves playing dominoes (her rules, of course!) and it keeps her engaged for a few hours at a time. She likes having different ones play with her--family members, friends who visit, anyone she can get to sit there and play for at least 30 minutes or so. At least that works for now. She also has a matching card game, she says every time we play it that she really likes this new game, she's never played it before but it's really fun. So you can make lots of things work, just don't try to force the rules on her, let her make up her own if she wants. The point isn't to do something "the right way," it's to stay mentally engaged to keep the brain cells as active as possible for as long as possible.

I am start chair tai chi. Incredibly simple. But that's the point to have your mind connect to the smallest movement made.
