In any stage of Alzheimer’s or dementia, puzzles and board games are exceptionally good gifts for your loved one.

Different types of word games and interaction games can increase mood and help your loved one feel accomplished and satisfied as well as providing them, and you, with some fun!

Personalized Gifts

In adults with a memory loss, scrapbooking is a great way for them to focus on a task, relax and reminisce. Includes photos that can remind them of family and friends. Pasting photos, writing, and using scissors can help improve their hand-eye coordination, and motor skills which can be a lacking factor with adults with memory loss.

Sometimes it can be frustrating for diagnosed individuals when they cannot remember the names of their family members or recognize their faces. A personalized gift with a family photo or with names can be very comforting and remind them about the people that care for them. One unique way to do this is by getting a photo personalized blanket or a personalized frame. These types of gifts helps bring tons of joy in a very tough and challenging times.
