What sort of activities do you give a 93 year old with moderate dementia?

My mother is 94 next month, lives in Memory Care AL with moderate dementia & calls all the activities there 'baby games.' Meanwhile, she's incapable of reading anymore, or doing even the simplest of things, so I'm not sure WHAT activities would actually make her happy. Nothing, I'm sure, since her prime focus in life is complaining. If your father isn't against 'baby games', you could get him some colored pencils and an adult coloring book; a set of sewing cards are fun and simple, too.

Here is a link to a wide variety of activities for seniors with Alz. & dementia from Amazon:

This one looks particularly good in the word game category:

Good luck!

You can have him sort and fold laundry or nuts and bolts. If you cook he can help cut the veggies. He can align alphabet blocks in the right order (or at least try) and then can try to stack them. If he has enough hand strength and coordination he can cut old t-shirts into rags (ask neighbors to donate shirts or towels) best to use a fabric scissor for this or it may be too hard. I got my LO with dementia a whole bunch of dvds of old musicals I know she loved. It keeps her occupied for the entire movie and they are fun and uplifting. I also try to find funny animal videos on YouTube -- she absolutely loved those. FYI there are products he can use so that you don't have to hear the tv blasting -- research some online or maybe other posters will make suggestions. I wish you success in finding the right activities for him!
