    Finding Daily Joy and Fun with Dementia

    November 23, 2020

    Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia. It causes a continuous decline in the thinking, behavioral, and social skills that allow a person to function independently. No treatment cures Alzheimer’s disease. However, laughter may still be the best medicine.

    The truth is we all feel a bit calmer, happier, and healthier after a good laugh. Laughter lifts our spirits and reduces anxiety, which is often the cause of wandering and emotional outbursts in patients.

    It isn’t easy to accept that your loved one might not remember you all the time, but as a caregiver, you can improve their quality of life. Add fun-filled and creative activities to their daily routine. Help them remember pleasant memories from the past and encourage them to engage in activities they enjoy. This can lead to productive and satisfying lives because they are less likely to get stressed or show worrying behaviors

    Here are few ways to spice up their day

    #1 Create a daily routine

    Routine is a great source of comfort. Help them create a predictable daily routine. This will help to minimize distractions.

    #2 Meaningful activities

    Allow them to engage in activities that make them feel useful and good about themselves. It has to be something they enjoy doing. Select these activities based on their abilities

    #3 Music

    Music is food for the soul. It has a great influence on our emotions. Play the music they prefer and encourage some movement. If they want to dance, dance with them!

    Nothing prepares you for this illness. However, don’t dwell on it. Value the moment shared together, the pearls of wisdom, their smile, and their humor.
