A Photo Picture Book for Alzheimer's Patients and Seniors with Dementia
- 36 full-color photos in an easy-to-hold 6 by 9inch glossy cover paperback
- Authentic calming and engaging photos of a walk through a field of sunflowers
- Minimal text that only relates to the photo
- Low-stress activity for any time of the day
- Designed for seniors
- No reference to Alzheimer's or dementia anywhere in the book
This colorful photo picture book is ideal for people living with dementia. The book has 36 full-color pictures that follow the author on his walk around a field of sunflowers. The photos on each page are calming but still engaging enough to provide interest and perhaps evoke some memories. The photos in this book offer seniors with dementia an opportunity to reminisce about any past experiences they had involving flowers. Unlike some books, the photos used are authentic and original photos taken on the author's sunflower walk, rather than being a random collection of stock photos sourced online. The book was designed to not cause stress to the reader as it has minimal text that only references what is seen on each page. Looking through the pictures in this book could be a relaxing activity for any time of the day. This photo picture book would be a supportive gift for a loved one living with dementia. Families, caregivers, and assisted living staff can share this book with the people they care for by flipping through the authentic images and scenes. Images presented in a calm manner through a picture book are a powerful opportunity for association and reminiscence. The book is designed for seniors. Children's picture books may at first appear suitable for dementia patients, but the content and tone of children's books may actually be demeaning for them. There is no mention of dementia, Alzheimer's, memory loss, or anything that could cause stress or embarrassment anywhere in the book. Some advice for family members and caregivers
Where possible, sit beside the person you are caring for in a quiet area with minimal distractions.
Avoid shadows or reflections on the pages.
Provide a pillow on the lap of the person you are caring for to support their hands and the book, or hold it in a comfortable position for both of you.
Allow the person you are caring for to turn the pages when possible. This allows them to control the pace of engagement and memory recall.
