Primary Stimulating Activities For Alzheimer Patients

By Della Monroe


You know that we are going to be like fools if we think that life is long. Life is short. It is also what many people say. What ever you believe in, the answer is obvious. No one is truly ready for what life ahead has prepared for us. You are never an exemption. Perhaps, you have known some individuals who experience tragic conditions such as an Alzheimer.

Many endured the massive effects of this treacherous condition. It does harm to the cognitive process of the brain which is in charge of retaining important things in life such as memories and more. If you knew someone with this condition, knowing some stimulating activities for Alzheimer patients could help. Some are in the following.

Replaying some family videos. This stirs up the heart of an individual to recall their memories. It could somehow make them remember some names or events of certain occasions, depending on how great the impact is with the family video played. Make them watch it like a movie. Let them feel familiar with such condition.

Create something crafted as an art. Do this to let them experience some dose of fun. It shall be important that you know that it is not only for the sake of making something creative, but it is an activity where you help your loved ones make their brain cells work. When the brain is at work, it would be easier for them to take bits from their memory. Little by little, at least they can recall.

Initiate musical activities. This makes them think more about the musical notes. Even if they are just listening, they shall let you know that they felt something significant, especially if they were able to recall something from their important past. It has been because people can easily connect with music, commonly with those musically inclined individuals.

Play around the kitchen through cooking and baking something delicious. This can become fun and helpful on their part. As for you, all you need to do is to participate. But, the most important thing you have to remember is that you must take the initiative to set aside the knowledge that Alzheimers disease made them forget things. Spend time with them to the fullest.

Splurge into mind games such as puzzles. Make them have some fun. Play with them. It is your call to keep them entertained as the functionality of their brain is still in the process. Just keep helping them through this, never run out of patience. Be hopeful that someday their memories can come back.

Go green. Going to a botanical garden is one. Being in such a place allows them to think and even want to plant one. Let them do so. It makes them exercise their mental capacity, making them think more. The more they do so, the more they can be able to recall significant things in their lives. So, it is your responsibility to help.

Seeing this condition with your loved ones may be tragic, but you have to be strong to let them know everything is fine. Choose to remember their love over their disease. Be compassionate. They may not remember you, but they still can feel your love for them. Grab hold of hope. Never give up staying by their side. Keep loving. Never stop.
