Reasons To Engage Activities For People With Dementia

By Phyllis Schroeder


Many people do not understand the conditions that affect their brain cells, as they grow older. However, you should not imagine that brain cells get damaged only by age. You may find individuals who encounter life experiences that cause brain impairment in a great way. Doctors refer to the condition where brain cells are damaged as dementia. This condition affects your thinking, communication and memory parts. To make victims of such conditions feel appreciated, most countries have set several activities for people with dementia.

It is obvious that individuals with health challenges find the healthy one more privileged than them. What the healthy individuals should do is looking for affairs that would make the victims find joy and importance of life. Do not allow the victims to perform personal care engagements such as bathing on their own. Help them to dress well and brush their teeth in the right way since this diverts their attention from what is most oppressing.

If people suffering from this condition were to be allowed to live without assistance, they would take meals when it is too late or even forget to prepare them. Brain requires enough nutrients for it to work effectively and be free from common infections. This suggests that you should choose the right fruits, vegetables, cereals and drinks for them. Help them prepare or cook balanced food that would be helpful to their body.

If you like social involvements, you should find these victims the best partners for them. Research experts say that such social engagements keep the victims active the whole day and this is good for their brain. If you have a debate to engage, allow these victims to be part of it and take their opinions rightly. This way, you boost their belief that other humans appreciate them just the way they are.

These sick individuals also need individuals who could engage them in spiritual affairs. They would feel good when singing hymns with others, clapping their hands and going to church together. Once they get to church, they would find sermons that boost their faith in a great way and help them know they can get well. Although you may despise such affairs, they make sense to the sick individuals since they draw most of their confidence from such.

Every artistic activity will make sense to them greatly. They would like to see how you are mixing painting colors and even how you choose the colors too. Look for the nice and cool music for them to listen to. These engagements are good and healthy for their creativity despite how extensive the condition would be.

You should seek to know if there are academic activities you could engage them in to improve their condition. Firstly, it is good to look for interesting story books or novels to read and where possible read together. You may also decide to give them puzzles to fill or play scripts to write.

Any household activity you engage doing should have their input to help them fight boredom. You may not know how happy the victims would be when you clean the shoes together or even arrange electrical appliances with them in the house. Let them join you in rinsing table cloths and window blinds.
