Activities

As a person's dementia develops, it is likely to have an impact on some of their abilities but there will still be lots that the person can enjoy doing. Maintaining existing skills, as far as possible, can give the person pleasure and boost their confidence. Keeping occupied and stimulated can improve quality of life for the person with dementia as well as those around them.
