Keeping Busy Conversation & Memory Game for Seniors | Dementia Activities Gift | Alzheimer Products for Elderly Patients | 224 Questions

My residents at the nursing home I work at love this game! Some of the technology based questions they don’t understand, but the lifestyle and other categories they enjoy. I work with folks with varying levels of dementia and this is a game they can all participate in or just listen and enjoy hearing others share their answers.

These are so good to use for younger staff members that do not know how to start a conversation with someone who is older. Really starts a conversation.

Hubby has Alzheimers and struggles to read and speak the way he used to. These cards are great - I give him half of the section of a catagory and me the other half. I'll read him my card and ask him to respond and then I respond to the same card - then he does the same with his cards. So much easier for him to respond to questions that go back to his childhood.

Mum is in later stage dementia and I’m running out of great ideas to engage her. These cards are awesome and I can just take one out, they are double-sided and we are going through the first side currently, and ask her a question and we can have a little chat about the question and it seems to spark memories sometimes. I will take anything that gives her a little bit of lucidity and memory. These have done the trick and are so multifaceted in their topics and I would highly recommend them for someone to try if you are out of ideas like I was. Love to the mamas!

My mother has dementia and finding activities for her can be hard. Also, she seems to have become more withdrawn in conversations and I wanted to try to find a way to help that. Also, I too find myself struggling to find things to talk to her about that capture her attention enough for her to engage. I thought I would get these and give it a try. It has been wonderful! Not only does it help my father and I to come up with things to talk to her about, she thinks its a game and gets excited to play. It has also been great for my dad as the questions start to trigger memories that have not been thought about in years. My dad often texts me now to tell me that they played this "game" for hours on any given evening. That type of mental stimulation has been great for mom.

Out of all the games I purchased, this one helped engage with my mom who has advanced dementia. It got her talking which is good. Some of the questions were inconsequential and not applicable so I passed on many of them. But overall it helped engage her which was my goal.

Works as expected

These questions work well with my family members with dementia. I can’t use all of them, but the ones I don’t use help me come up with adaptations to use. I am glad I have these to use because now the loved one is talking instead of saying “I don’t know” and “I don’t remember.” I don’t think you will regret this purchase.

Really cool game to play with anyone. I play this with my mom who has dementia. It makes her think and I get to learn some things I didn't know about her and her thoughts. You can play for as little or as long as you like. I bring some cards to appointments or whenever we have to sit and wait for something.

Very helpful while my Mom struggle with delirium. Made her think and try to remember. It was very interesting as well and we all participated and learned about each other.

My mom was experiencing some memory loss - to be expected in her high 90s. So - I used these cards to ask her questions to help her think back to her past. it was beautiful to learn things about her life that I never would have without these probing questions and to see her enjoying sharing her memories. They did the job well. Thank you. Those are moments I'll treasure.

I ordered this for my elderly mother-in-law who has early on-set dementia. I got it for her to play with home care workers that came to sit with her for respite work. She and the first care worker played it and absolutely loved it. I guess they had many laughs and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Very good product. Instructions are simple and use respectful language. Some duplication in the cards. Participant/family have enjoyed using these to promote varied conversations. As the instructions suggest, review cards ahead of time if you wish to pull out questions that could be provocative or create conflict in the discussion (i.e. exploring perceptions around gender roles)
