We are excited to be sharing a new series on the blog: Creating Rich Sensory and Social Experiences for Those Experiencing Dementia
Today, we will dive into Part 2: Discovering Beauty, Interest, and Meaning Together. In the journey of caring for a loved one with dementia, it’s essential to keep their sense of beauty, interest, and meaning alive. Take a few moments to jot down what you know your loved one finds beautiful, interesting, and/or meaningful. Consider their past hobbies, favorite activities, what they loved to talk about, and the things that once brought them joy.
Then, begin to search for things to enjoy with them that will include these elements. The goal is to find things you can enjoy together that reflect their preferences and past interests. Remember, the goal is to connect with them on a personal level and provide moments of happiness and fulfillment.
Stay tuned for the next post in our series, where we will explore more ways to enrich the lives of those experiencing dementia.
