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.
