An activity book to help caregivers improve the quality of life of
people who have dementia. Whether they are cared for at home or in
an assisted living community, adults living with dementia should be
offered a life that is interesting and fun. But what can you do to
enhance the everyday experience of a loved one who is losing
interest in or is unable to participate in their old hobbies and
pursuits? In Creative Engagement, dementia activity expert Rachael
Wonderlin and developmental psychology professor Geri M. Lotze
provide dozens of creative, hands-on ways to engage with people
living with cognitive loss. Teaching caregivers how to find
dementia-friendly daily activities and introduce them into a
person's life, this comprehensive, empathetic guide is aimed at
both family members and professionals. Twelve chapters full of
useful, tangible activities touch on a range of topics, including
exercise, technology, cooking and baking, memory games, and arts
and crafts. Focusing on both group and individual dynamics, mundane
activities and specially tailored pursuits, Wonderlin and Lotze
offer proven strategies for interacting with people living with
dementia. The authors include detailed tips for building a
dementia-friendly environment, creating a daily calendar, and
scheduling community entertainment. They also suggest special
activities geared toward people in hospice care and give targeted
advice for dealing with caregiver stress. Drawing on Wonderlin's
own practice while incorporating the latest scientific research on
dementia and eldercare, Creative Engagement is unique in its
dementia-positive approach. Anyone who cares for someone living
with dementia will gain valuable knowledge from this compassionate
book.
