An Engaging Gift Book for Alzheimer's Patients and Seniors with Dementia
Do you sometimes find it difficult to engage your loved one with dementia? To help them stay calm in the midst of an emotional reaction? To find activities you can share with them that encourage peaceful interaction?
This book can help.
Thumbing through this beautiful picture book with your loved one is an activity that will capture their attention, engage their mind, and encourage them to relax. This book is filled with stunning images representing decades of the U.S. space program, from the first spacecraft to orbit the earth to more recent space shuttle flights. If your loved one is interested in space, or simply enjoys looking back at iconic moments in history, this book will engage their interest and touch their imagination.While short term memories can be somewhat inaccessible in people with dementia, many long term memories are often intact. If you loved one is old enough to have lived through the early space program, it's quite possible they would still remember that moment when astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon.
You'll find a lot of other picture books out there, mostly for kids. But it's demeaning for seniors to give them books meant for children. Adult photography books are usually large and heavy, and they often include long, frustrating paragraphs of text.
At Sunny Street Books, we design books specifically for seniors with dementia. They're lightweight yet high-quality, adult in nature, with nothing to distract your loved one from their enjoyment of the photos themselves.
Families, caregivers, and assisted living staff can share this book with the people they care for. It is also an excellent activity for seniors with Parkinson's disease or recovering from a stroke. Seniors with eyesight or strength challenges who find it difficult to hold a heavy book or read long paragraphs of text will also enjoy this book.
FEATURES
- Discreet Packaging
At no time is anything mentioned about Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or any other challenges the reader might be facing. This book can be given to your loved one without fear that they might feel embarrassed or offended.
- Beautiful Content
This book is filled with carefully-curated photos representing decades of the U.S. space program.
- Minimal Text
The only text included in the book are a few words on each page in large print that identify each photo.
- Manageable Size
This is a 40-page, 6" x 9" softcover that's comfortable to hold and easy to tuck into a bag.
- High Quality
The quality of this book's cover and its interior design are indistinguishable from books created for other readers. Just because a book is simple and uncomplicated doesn't mean it has to be unattractive, unprofessional, or childish.
NOTES FOR CAREGIVERS
- Sit beside your loved one in a quiet place that is free of distractions.
- Allow them to hold the book if possible, and also turn the pages, which will enable them to become more engaged in the book.
- Put a pillow in their lap to support the book as you thumb through it together.
- Leave this book in an accessible place to allow your loved one to pick it up on their own when you're not there.
