Encourage Memory Recall with Meaningful Activities
Memory Kits are themed collections of activities designed to spark conversation, encourage memory recall and stimulate mental activity, especially for people experiencing memory loss or other cognitive issues related to dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and other memory disorders.
Each bag provides a book as well as three or four activities, such as puzzles and card games, with suggested adaptations if an individual's abilities change.
