The research shows that Alzheimer’s patients benefit greatly from activities, especially those they enjoy. Exercise strengthens and maintains muscles, reduces joint pain, and helps to increase and maintain flexibility. We found out that our friend loves to dance, and we incorporate that in most of our Lady-Links visits.

Dancing to Perry Como.

Lady-Links success stories continue to abound! People are hearing about our visits with our friend and telling us they can observe the difference our group is making. The research on dementia is full of examples of benefits people receive from activities. Some of these include happier daily life, increased feelings of self-worth, maintained memory, enhanced and maintained communications skills, and improved and increased personal relationships.

This website will share our story of visiting with our friend who has Alzheimer’s dementia. Our hope is that you will duplicate our efforts with that special person in your life who suffers from any of the many types of dementia. We’d love to hear from you!

We will be sharing our newsletters, projects and activities on this blog. We will even share things that didn’t work and what we learned from that.
