Here are three ideas for short activities that you can do with your loved one who maybe struggling with memory loss.

This hit more than one of the senses stimulated various parts of the brain and psyche. You are providing your loved one with needed physical touch, interaction, moisture, self care, and relaxation .

This can give them the self care they need while also bringing up memories of when you were younger and they would care for you in the same loving way. Asking them if possible to brush or style your hair also can be giving them a sense of purpose.

Memory loss often effect the short term memories first. Singing a nursery rhyme can bring up "old" memories.

Walker Maintenance 101

/

Did you know that much like your car you need to provide maintenance to your Walker or Rollator?

Have a Physical Therapist assess that the walker is appropriately set for the person’s weight and height.

Wipe down handles on regular basis with Clorox wipes or disinfectant wipes.

Secure any brake lines to side rails with zip ties to keep the lines from catching on corners or nearby items while in use.

Be sure any added bags or baskets are out of line of vision.
