I thought my 85 year old father with dementia might like to do a little project and label seed bags for players. He likes to write and make lists.

He can't seem to grasp the idea of ishareflowers as one word... Lol



Anyhoo. If your screen name is spelled wrong, it was him.

Aww Lisa,
At least he's still able to help you out.

This reminds me of a lady with dementia who folded the laundry and did dishes at her care home, because she thought she worked there, and never realized what was going on. When she was in the hospital for a little while, the hospital called to find out if there might be any alternative to restraints or sedation. Her regular caregiver suggested they roll a rack of clean unfolded linens to her room. She folded and re-folded that rack to her heart's content, and stayed calm. They just threw the lot back into the laundry after she went back to the care home.

I'm glad you've found a way for him to be/feel useful. He needs that.

That's really sweet.

That is a really great idea! On that note, I might have my kids help label seeds.... At least those who can read/write right now. ;) they helped harvest some anyway, so very fitting. ;)

Awesome idea! My grandmother had Alzheimers so i know that anything to keep the mind engaged is beneficial.
