Comforting Father’s Day Gifts For Your Loved One in Memory Care

Father’s Day is on Sunday, June 19th this year. If you haven’t begun planning, it may be time to decide on a gift for your parent or loved one that is struggling with Dementia or another memory loss disease. Figuring out what is the most beneficial gift for someone in memory care can be tough, especially if they are in a community that supplies a lot of enrichment and activities. You don’t want to confuse your loved one with a difficult gift, so it’s best to stick to what is familiar and recognizable to them.

MorningStar in Arvada, Colorado offers a rich environment for its residents living in memory care. There is often calm music playing, open activity rooms, and a dining room that is equipped to serve healthy meals and sweet treats. What your senior living facility cannot supply, however, is a gift from your heart completely tailored to your parent or loved one that would help better connect them to you.

Bringing along your loved one’s favorite meal or snack is a simple, but great Father’s Day gift for someone struggling with memory loss. When our senses, such as taste or smell, are induced, memory recollection is stronger. If there was a special meal you all once shared together often, perhaps bringing that in during your visit could entice some memories to be shared between you two.

Simple, but effective, gifts are board games if your loved one is struggling with symptoms of Dementia and memory loss. Games such as checkers, Connect-Four, or bingo will help in keeping your dad’s mind active and the familiarity of these games may spark more memories and comfortability. Try to stay away from games that are too intricate, like large puzzles or monopoly, as they may lead to frustration and confusion.
