Relevance to Dementia Stage
Relevance to Dementia Stage
Early Stage: In the early stage of dementia, individuals may benefit from a wide range of arts and crafts and other interactive and engaging activities. They can engage in more complex projects that require creativity, problem-solving, and fine motor skills. These activities help maintain cognitive function and provide a sense of accomplishment.
Middle Stage: As dementia progresses to the middle stage, it may be necessary to the activities to accommodate cognitive and physical changes. Simpler, more structured projects can be enjoyable, and sensory stimulation becomes particularly important.
Late Stage: In the late stage of dementia, individuals may still find comfort and enjoyment in very simple and repetitive projects and activities. The focus shifts to sensory engagement, such as tactile activities or simply enjoying the process of manipulating materials. It's important to tailor any activities to the individual's abilities and interests, regardless of their dementia stage. Adaptations, such as providing assistance or simplifying tasks, can help individuals continue to enjoy the benefits of creative expression throughout their journey with dementia.
