Patients need to experience laughter, fun, and recover treasured lost memories. This book contains music activities that will help stimulate memories and provide pleasant experiences for Alzheimer's patients. Most patients with Alzheimer's Disease are elderly. It is important to use age appropriate activities when working with them. This book provides good examples of different activities that work well with elderly patients.
Music is suggested to accompany many of the activities.
The music makes the activities more enjoyable, works as a motivator, helps patients work together, and helps them express their emotions. The author found that the most popular activity was the production of a variety show. This book includes suggestions for a production, as well as many other useful activities. Elliot, Jerold E., Re.
