1960s Memory Lane: large print book for dementia patients
Desertcart purchases this item on your behalf and handles shipping, customs, and support to South Africa.
Description
This 35-page book is aimed at patients with early stage dementia who like reading but find it hard to follow 'normal' books. With 18pt large print, short easy to follow paragraphs and plenty of full colour illustrations, the book looks at everyday life in the 1960s in Britain and the USA. It is intended to help stimulate long-term memories of those who lived through the 1960s, with sections on music, films, fashion, sport, holidays and much more. When read together with a relative or carer, it can also help promote conversation and reminiscence. The book does not mention dementia or memory loss, or anything that could cause distress or embarrassment to patients, and it is written in a simple but not childish style. It can equally be enjoyed by those without memory loss, for example, grandparents reading together with grandchildren to help them learn about the 'old days'.

Great memory prompter
I read the mixed reviews and wasn't sure whether the book would be too basic but I'm glad ordered anyway! My Mother-in-law loved it and couldn't put it down. There were so many things that brought back memories, it was the most talkative and animated we've seen her in ages!
