Keeping Busy Pocket Pack Collection of Engaging Activities/Puzzles/Games for Dementia and Alzheimer's for Older Adults

When I received this, I thought “I could make these myself!”. However, I wouldn’t have thought of these things and they’ve been very useful at my job as an in home CNA. I use all of them, a different one every night, sometimes we play a few! It’s an easy, fun and comfortable way to stimulate his mind and start conversations. I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend them for anyone with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Some of the games are a little easy for him but he still enjoys doing them. It must be frustrating when everything you try to do is too hard or get it wrong. These little games boost his confidence, make him feel good about himself.

My husband has Alzheimer's and is about Stage 6. I have despaired of some way to help keep him engaged and to ease his boredom. He can no longer read a book or even a short article in a magazine because by the time he reads the second paragraph, he has forgotten what was in the first. He can no longer even follow the plot of a television show. He has problems with his eyesight unrelated to the Alzheimer's so word search puzzles were just a frustration to him. The KeepingBusy activities fit the bill perfectly! At this point, he can do the more challenging activities most days. He enjoys them, and I enjoy being able to play the games with him. As the disease digresses, I know that he will still have activities that he can do. I would recommend these activities for anyone who is a caretaker for someone with dementia. I am so happy to have found Keeping Busy, and I will be ordering more puzzles and activities!

My father is in his mid-80s and seven years ago he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. These games have been an asset to my mother in our family and the caretaker that he works with in occupying him and helping to train his mind. It’s not a cure but it is something that can help occupy someone in their stage six or seven of Alzheimer’s

I was very excited to get these activities. We have done 3 of the activities. I can see the benefit of the activities we have done. Saving some for another day. Don't want to over do. The phrase completing activity required some thougt for my husband. I can see that these will be helpful and challenge him. Will be looking for more items from Keeping Busy.

The sellers are great. The games are too confusing for someone with advance dementia but they would probably be entertaining for someone in the earlier stages of dementia.

Very nice quality!

My loved one especially liked the strip puzzle. I wish it was a little bigger. Has some great activities .

These are great games to play with Mom. Disappointed that the card game didn't bring a whole deck of cards.
