I love to use my iPad for learning about new things. I also realize that grandma can enjoy an iPad too. There are many apps that could be used with dementia patients. Grandma and I had a lot of fun playing Stack The States. There are special apps that are very useful with dementia patients. In the next few weeks, I will be reviewing apps for Alzheimer's patients, and give you my opinion. In the mean time, I suggest that you take out your iPad and explore it with your loved one! (I am trying to create an app, but I am only 9 years old, need to learn a lot about coding first! :-)
Tips For Using the iPad or Tablet With a Dementia Patient
- Do not worry about the rules
- Be patient (Grandma was amazed that she could touch the screen to make things move
- Choose activities that your loved one enjoys
- Show the person beautiful flowers or places
- Listen to music and play fun games
