Around the House Word Search

Activity Director

I used pages from this book over and over with memory care residents on an Alzheimer’s unit. Some residents could complete four pages while waiting for their meal to arrive , while others with less cognitive ability may only complete one page. This book was also very useful for one to one activity with late stage dementia residents. One can point to a line and ask can you see a word hidden here, the name of a flower. When resident spots the word explain to them to circle it or underline depending on their capabilities. This provides fun and a sense of accomplishment for the late stage resident. I would recommend this book for use in a facility or at home with a family member at home struggling with memory loss.:
