Thomani hafhaHow to Play Games with Someone Who Has DementiaTreat a game as time together, not a test. Pick a calm time of day, sit side by side in a quiet room, and offer one simple game. Let the person set the pace, never correct harmless mistakes, make the game easier at the first sign of strain, and turn pictures into conversation. Stop while it still feels good. Ending early, or simply watching together, is a good outcome.Vhalani tsumbandila →
