Holiday Gift Ideas for Alzheimer's
Giving gifts to someone suffering from Alzheimer’s, or any other form of dementia, can be an important part of their treatment, and may be therapeutic in and of itself. A gift can stimulate the brain and excite the senses.
When choosing a gift for someone who has dementia, select items that can assist in making life easier and safer for him or her, or even something that will help them maintain a level of independence. It is also important to keep in mind the stage of progression, and to select a gift that is appropriate for that stage of the disease.
