Hi. Has anyone created a memory book for or with a client? Perhaps not necessarily something for a dementia sufferer, which is what my research has found, but something a resident can participate in themselves :)

Re- my last comment about a memory book, this may be a good example of questions, to have photos & magazine clippings to match http://homehelpershomecare.com/blog/2015/12/30-life-questions-you-need-to-ask-your-grandparents

We use this for our clients to find out as much as we can. We then use these to make life stories for or with the client depending on level of function. If they don't have photos we find them from newspapers and magazines like photos of beaches, birds etc. My Life Story Template
