Description
Have you recently discovered that your loved one has dementia? Are you searching for practical ways to engage them in meaningful activities, especially during travel?
Mild dementia is the first stage in the dementia journey. It involves changes in higher-level thinking skills. Your loved one might forget simple things like taking medication or might repeat stories. These changes can be frustrating, but recognizing them is the first step in supporting them effectively.
The Importance of Activities

These activities can still be part of their routine but might need slight modifications to make them easier and more enjoyable.
