What are the necessities for someone with mild dementia in a nursing home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Some activities will depend on an overall physical health status as well: walking vs. Wheelchair; whether this person requires full assistance or partial. There are activities, e.g. Groups to stimulate brain activity, to preserve things that are still there for as along as possible; they still might go on trips to the community with the supervision; might receive individual or group psychotherapy.
