Memory Kits
Memory Kits
A memory kit is a bag filled with items and activities centered around a place, time, or theme. "For people with Alzheimer’s disease and their families, a remembered moment from the past is a gift. Memory loss and confusion are the hallmarks of dementia and Alzheimer’s, as the diseases progressively damage brains cells, but photographs, music, and memorabilia from the past can trigger memories and provide a bridge for caregivers and loved ones to communicate and connect. " Steph Waite
