She\u2019s onto something. Research has shown that talking to people with dementia about their lives creates positive emotions, reduces stress and improves their quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>A wonderful way to connect with your loved ones is by capturing and preserving their memories. Here are tips from the experts at Home Instead Senior Care on how to make it a fulfilling experience for everyone involved:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ask open-ended questions. <\/strong>Dementias typically erode short-term memory first, so it\u2019s often rewarding to recall events from further in the past. Try questions like \u201cWhat did you do for fun when you were little?\u201d or \u201cWhat was your favorite job?\u201d Work up to deeper questions like \u201cWhat are you most grateful for?\u201d or \u201cHow would you like to be remembered?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more ideas, search <em>conversation starters <\/em>at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caregiverstress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>caregiverstress.com <\/strong><\/a>or go to <a href=\"http:\/\/storycorps.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>storycorps.org<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen patiently. <\/strong>Your family member might struggle for words. Keep listening for as long as they want to share. Let their reactions guide you. If they\u2019re eager to talk, ask for more details. If there\u2019s something they can\u2019t remember or don\u2019t want to get into, move on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use photos, music, objects and scents. <\/strong>Of all the senses, smell has the most direct connection to the parts of the brain where memories are stored. Aromas can unlock rich memories even when verbal and visual cues fail. Flowers, a campfire, sawdust, cookies baking, pine\u2026any scents that are significant to your loved one can work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Create a memory box. <\/strong>The sense of touch stimulates memories. What items hold special meaning for your family member? Some ideas: a military medal, trip souvenirs, gardening gloves, seashells, jewelry. Collect the items in one place so they\u2019re easy to pull out when needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be ready to capture reminiscences at family gatherings. <\/strong>Keep a video camera, a voice-recording app on your phone, a laptop, or a journal and pen handy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Integrate memory gathering into daily activities. <\/strong>At mealtime, talk about favorite recipes and the stories that go with them. Ask about pictures and keepsakes while you\u2019re cleaning. Something on TV might trigger a recollection.<\/p>\n<p><em>For free training for family caregivers, including local workshops, online classes and videos, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.helpforalzheimersfamilies.com\/alzheimers-care-training\/\">HelpforAlzheimersFamilies.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remaining socially and mentally engaged has alleviated her husband Bob\u2019s symptoms of Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Luanne Bole-Becker says.
