120. Memorial Day: 50 Easy Activities For Loved Ones With Alzheimer’s Or Dementia (Part 2)

This episode focuses on practical tips for engaging individuals with moderate dementia in meaningful activities. Lizette highlights the significance of creating a structured routine while also allowing for flexibility and making memories through engaging activities. 

 

Lizette points out the importance of balancing routine and novel activities to support cognitive and emotional well-being.
