Reseña del libro "The Picture Book of Christmas: A Gift Book for Alzheimer's Patients and Seniors with Dementia (en Inglés)"
If you have a loved one with dementia, wouldn't it be nice during the Christmas season to give them something that will capture their attention, engage their mind, and encourage peaceful interaction? This book may be just what you're looking for. It contains full-page photos of traditional Christmas scenes and objects, with each photo identified on the opposite page in large print text. While many dementia patients have difficulty with short-term memory, memories of the distant past are more accessible. These photos may inspire them to reminisce about Christmases past and the joy they've felt spending the holidays with their family and friends. Families, caregivers, and assisted living staff can share this book with the people they care for. It is also an excellent activity for seniors with Parkinson's disease or recovering from a stroke. Seniors with eyesight or strength challenges who find it difficult to hold a heavy book or read long paragraphs of text will also enjoy this book. At Sunny Street Books, we design books specifically for seniors with dementia. They're lightweight yet high-quality, adult in nature, with nothing to distract your loved one from their enjoyment of the photos and the few words of text that accompany them.
