Let’s create a customized Purpose Guide for your person. It is collection of single images each with a brief message in your person’s voice, all gathered together in a binder. The Guide is meaningful to your person who is on a dementia journey because they can flip through the pages independently. And it is meaningful to family, family-of-choice, friends or professionals because they can connect with your person on topics that are purposeful or meaningful to them.
I often hear from caregivers, “I’m not sure how to visit with them any more” or “What can we talk about? Her memory and language abilities aren’t what they used to be.” A Purpose Guide may help.
