Elderly dementia patients have limited energy and physical stamina, which can make everyday activities difficult. Dementia patients often experience depression and loneliness, as well as feelings of helplessness. Because seniors with dementia prefer to spend time with other people, it’s important to find enjoyable activities that keep them busy and engaged in the world around them.

Here are a few tips for easy activities you can do with seniors with dementia.

Play A Card Game

One activity to do is play a card game. Card games are designed for strengthening memory skills. It’s also a wonderful way to relieve depression and lessen anxiety. The senior must stay alert to complete the game, and this helps them to remain focused and feel the positive effects of having completed something.

Adult Colouring Book

Adult Coloring Books are a great way to engage in something creative, improve memory and fine motor skills. It’s a fun way to unwind and enjoy the experience of being creative without any pressure.

Incorporate Music Into Your Routine

Music is a powerful way to communicate with seniors. If your relative has dementia, start with gentle music and gradually build up the tempo if they enjoy it. Additionally, active listening activities such as taking a short walk together will strengthen the bond between you and your loved one, while creating moments that you can both enjoy.
