This Mother’s Day, the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America is offering advice to help families celebrate in a way that’s thoughtful for loved ones with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Jennifer Reeder, LCSW, suggests focusing on connection and comfort.
Tips include:
- Reminiscing with old photos, avoiding questions like “Do you remember?”
- Making new memories with activities that focus on what your loved one can enjoy now.
- Adapting old traditions, like ordering food from a favorite restaurant instead of dining out.
- Giving flowers, which have therapeutic benefits.
- Creating a personalized Mother’s Day card to share meaningful words.
