Summary:

Although very little can be done to alter the course of dementia, much can be done to maximize the quality of life of people with the condition. Research as well as practical experience suggest that behavior management, especially through programs that provide meaningful and constructive activity, is currently the most effective treatment.

In Keeping Busy, James Dowling describes a variety of activities designed to bring meaning and enjoyment to the lives of persons with dementia. The activities are organized by general categories such as music, exercise, horticulture, pets, humor, and social events. The largest section deals with communication and includes word games that help people strengthen their remaining verbal skills. The description of each activity includes step-by-step instructions, as well as tips on how to adapt it for small or large groups, for individuals at home or in an organization, or people who are bedridden.

better than its title
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I work in an assisted living residence for people with dementia and our goal is to engage our residents all day in meaningful activities. It is very challenging and has great rewards. This book's title, Keeping Busy, almost made me pass it by because we are focused on more than just keeping our residents 'busy'...we want them to enjoy themselves, and in fact to 'flourish' in our environment. I am glad that I purchased it because it has many delightful activities that in fact do much more than just keep people 'busy'.

great for families, ok for professionals

It was a good book to give me some basics for my new job but it was limited for someone who is in the end of life field like I am.

Activities for People with Dementia

A 'must-have' for all Recreation Departments in the Geriatric Care settings.

Many Useful Ideas Discussed
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

Even though this book is over ten years old, many of the ideas for activities suggested are extremely helpful in engaging a person with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia. I especially like using the trivia questions
