Making Easter special(part 3)

What else can you do on Easter to make life as grand as possible for persons with dementia?

Many people wore Easter bonnets for Easter. Trying on hats can be enjoyable. It probably will bring back memories and family stories that are always wonderful to hear.

Telling them makes the persons with dementia feel good. You probably have heard the stories before so fill in the blanks if you need to. Otherwise just sit back and listen. Make sure to appear interested.

What about a family Easter egg hunt? Team up the person with dementia with another family member and a grandchild. As you know persons with dementia love children.

Of course going to church is important if the person with dementia can tolerate it. You can always go for a short period of time or have an Easter spiritual circle at home
