What November memories do you have?
Chances are, November brings images of Thanksgiving dinners, friends and family, leaves displaying a spectrum of color, blazing bonfires, exciting football games, and many other pleasant thoughts.
Our visits this month to our dear friends with dementia have been sprinkled with “November Nostalgia” conversation starters. It’s been delightful to recall the past with such charming recollections brought to mind.
We focus on the positive aspects of memories and avoid any topics that would cause concern since our dear friends don’t have the cognitive abilities to filter negative information appropriately.
Each month has specific memories that can be associated with it. We find activities that will help link to those special thoughts.
With careful planning, Lady-Links visits are designed to bring out the best that each month has to offer and to combine it with activities that stimulate cognition and socialization. November Nostalgia has been a spectacular success!
