• Sit beside your loved-one in a quiet area with no distractions
• Avoid shadows or reflections on the pages
• It may be easier for some to cut out the pages and work on the hard, flat surface of the table
• Use activities for elderly people with dementia in a group or care setting to bring individuals together and as an entertaining activity that helps combat boredom or depression.
• If your parent or senior loved one resists an activity, take a break and try again later.
