What do teddy bears, squeeze balls, napkins for folding, playing cards, and puzzles have in common?

They are easy-to-use tools that can be enjoyed either independently by a person with memory loss or with family/caregivers.

Individuals with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia often develop challenging behaviors that can be difficult to manage. As cognitive abilities decline and the ability to speak diminishes, the person may try to express his or her needs behaviorally. Common reasons for challenging behaviors include boredom, loneliness, loss of purpose, and fear.
