The Easy and Relaxing Memory Activity Book for Adults: Includes Relaxing Memory Activities, Easy Puzzles, Brain Games and More

Really fun memory book. Lots of puzzles to do. A great way to kill some time and keep your mind young.

I bought this book for my neighbor who is starting to have symptoms of Dementia. She faithfully does a page every night. She loves it

Would be 5 stars but I found a mistake. Other than that it’s a good activity book

Great not too complicated book to challenge short term and term memory and noted techniques to help you with memorizing . My client enjoyed it so much I didn't have the heart to take it with me when leaving! so here i am buying another!

Tonnes of activities that seem to be at several levels for seniors. Very happy with this purchase.

My elderly parents (in their 90s) live at home with me, they're mostly independent, they can follow normal daily conversations easily. Their memory and cognitive abilities are in early stage of decline. This book has about 100 puzzles and worksheets to fill in - good variety of challenges which match their cognitive level perfectly .. just hard enough that they need to use most or all of their intellect to complete each puzzle which gives them great satisfaction. They do the puzzles together at the dining room table with my guidance. For most of the puzzles, I ask mom to read the instructions out loud then I explain what to do if they need clarification. I also need to guide them through most puzzles so they know what to do but I don't give them the answers. There are answer pages in the back of the book for each puzzle. When I take them to a restaurant, I take a word search book or this puzzle book and two pens and they work on a word search page while we wait for the food to arrive - so much better than sitting there doing nothing. When your family member finishes the puzzle book, you can write your own puzzles using the same format as the puzzles in the book. Ex: Fill in the blank for famous expressions. "The ____ that broke the camel's back." You can write a list of expressions with one or two blanks in each one. If your family member has memory loss, you can photocopy the puzzle pages and use the same pages multiple times. I also bought the book: Decades of 100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors. My parents really enjoy reading these simple fictional stories which are written with descriptive details to bring back memories. Ex: "She picked up the phone off the wall hook in the kitchen and dialed her friend's number which she knew by heart." Each story is 1-2 pgs long. The stories are in chronological order from the 1950s to 1990s with 20 stories for each decade. You can read these stories to your family member at home, in hospital, in assisted living, in hospice. I got two bookmarks, wrote dad's name on one, mom's name on the other, so they can each mark where they finish reading. I plan to buy more puzzle and story books for my parents. So I recommend, this puzzle book the story book and large print word search books.

Nothing overly challenging here, but great for kids or adults new to pencil puzzles!

My 82 yr old aunt loved it!! She went through it in about 3 hours and was 'thirsty' for more!
