The Activity Year Book: A Week by Week Guide for Use in Elderly Day and Residential Care

by Anni Bowden and Nancy Lewthwaite

Book Overview

Engagement in meaningful activity is an important aspect of human existence, regardless of one's cognitive abilities. Even in the later stages of dementia, people can still be engaged in activities at a level that allows them to be successful. In fact in these later stages, where cognitive abilities may be waning, the need for activity becomes greater, as cognitive stimulation helps preserve what skills remain.
