Activities For Dementia Patients

Activities for Dementia

Activities for dementia patients are important because they help maintain and improve their mental and physical well-being. Engaging in activities can stimulate their brains, reduce anxiety and depression, and provide a sense of accomplishment and enjoyment.

BetterCareMarket offers products and activities for your loved one, to help them cope with the symptoms of dementia or Alzheimer's. Alleviate confusion with our choice of stimulating activities for dementia therapy. Bring back joy to their life with games, toys and sensory cushions to name a few.

Looking for a Dementia Clock?

For someone with dementia, it is easy to get confused about the date and time or what they should be doing. In addition to causing stress and anxiety for the person, it is also a significant safety risk. They may forget to turn off the stove, leave doors unlocked or improper use of medications. 

To address these safety risks and concerns, BetterCareMarket has a Customisable Dementia Clock in their collection. This is a special clock designed to help people with memory impairment or cognitive impairment to keep track of time, dates, important reminders as well as setting personalised reminders and alerts. 

This Dementia Clock provides a large, and clear display of date and time using large and easy to read numbers and works. The clock features a set of pre-programmed commonly used reminders, such as "Time to get dressed", "Time to have lunch or dinner", "Time to attend appointments" and "Time for your medication". In addition, the carer is able to create personalised alerts with visual cues to ensure reminders are noticed.

Sensory Cushion

A sensory cushion for dementia patients is a specially designed pillow that includes various brightly coloured textures, buttons, zippers and other items that the patient can touch and interact with.

These cushions stimulate the visual and tactile senses, which provides a calming and engaging activity that can reduce anxiety, promote relation and improve focus. By keeping their hands busy, sensory cushions can also provide a sense of comfort and security. The dementia clock will help maintain your loved one independent at home for longer.

Companion Pets

We also offer sensory companion pets for dementia patients, which are lifelike robotic animals. These pets mimic the appearance of real animals in response to being touched or talked to. Their lifelike behaviours include purring, barking, wagging of the tail and movement of the head. These lifelike pets offer a soothing and engaging experience for the patient and, and also help reduce the feelings of loneliness and anxiety. The realistic movements and noises of the lifelike pets can spark joy in people and make them more relaxed.
