Make Easter special for those with dementia

Part of making life for those with dementia as pleasant as possible is to celebrate the holidays with them in a joyful fashion.

The celebration will resemble the way you celebrated it in the past. However you will make accommodations for the people with dementia.

Obviously, they will not be able to cook Easter dinner as they may have done in the past. However that does not mean they can not help.

You must assess what they can do well. Maybe they can measure or mix ingredients.

Maybe you will have to remake  what they made, but do not tell them you have.

Perhaps they will have to sit on the side line and watch.

Maybe you will need to find a meaningful activity while you prepare the meal.

Here is a good book that will fill the bill.
