Everyone has a brain. You are not an exemption. It plays an important role. This has been the command center of everything you do including those which we think that does not matter. However, an impairment in this area could lead so much misery both patients and their loved ones. One major culprit of this is Alzheimer disease which created a difficult dilemma.

Many endured the massive effects of this treacherous condition. It does harm to the cognitive process of the brain which is in charge of retaining important things in life such as memories and more. If you knew someone with this condition, knowing some stimulating activities for Alzheimer patients could help. Some are in the following.

Replaying some family videos. This stirs up the heart of an individual to recall their memories. It could somehow make them remember some names or events of certain occasions, depending on how great the impact is with the family video played. Make them watch it like a movie. Let them feel familiar with such condition.

Do arts and crafts. There are a lot you can do. Think of ways to unlock creativity and push them to think beyond what they can do. You see, even they have this condition, you need to remember they are still the person you once knew. Never be tempted to think that they are equivalent to nothing just like what others usually think. It is just a myth, not a fact.

Sing songs or play music. A fun engagement could allow them to access the breadths of their memory. Singing songs makes them feel according to the emotions emphasized in a song, especially the ones which are closely related with what experiences the patient has before his condition came into his system.

Cook or bake together. Cooking their favorite meal or the ones that their loved ones always wanted to have. For them to taste the food they had some attached memory with could help them exercise their ability to recall, making them able to reminisce whatever things they have to think about in connection to such.

Work on puzzles. This is a mind game. You see, games that makes the mind work helps people like them a lot. So, if you have someone dear who experiences this dilemma in life, give them a bonding time treat. You can do it by splurging them with games they could have fun with and making them better at recalling things they've had in life.

Go and tend a botanical garden. Planting anything requires a lot of work. It incurs to the mind of the person to remember to follow up on taking care of their seeds. In this way, they would be able to take time to make their brains work in recalling specific things not only with the matters involving their dear plants, but with people they once loved as well.

No matter how much you would deny the fact about their disease, they will never interact with you the way they normally do. But, what you can do is to make them feel loved even if they have not remembered things about you. So, now is the time to make your stance. Help them. Conquer their disease with compassion.
