The Season of Giving
December brings with it the season of giving. Finding that perfect gift for family members can be challenging, no matter who they are. If you are shopping for a loved one with dementia, this task may seem almost impossible. We released our list of top gift ideas for people with dementia last year. Updated for 2023, we have added some new ideas that you won't want to miss!
 

 

 

A Book for Daughters, Caregivers
 

If you are a daughter who is serving in supportive capacity to a parent with dementia challenges, you will find Working Daughter by Liz O’Donnell to be of comfort. Much like the videos on St. John's online Dementia Resource Center web site, this book serves as a reminder that you are not alone. Filled with heartfelt stories and helpful tips, this is a must read!
 
 
 
 

Soothing, Sensory Gifts in Action

 

As part of its ROC the Day 2023 Campaign, St. John's Foundation recently raised money for many types of engagement tools that are ideal for people living with dementia. If you are exploring these types of gifts for your loved one this holiday, our ROC the Day video may be helpful to you in narrowing down your search. From simple music players to companion pets, many perfect options exist!
