With over 20 years’ experience in the care industry, Isaac Care understands the challenges of supporting people living with dementia to live independently.
Around 64,000 people in Ireland and 850,000 in the UK are currently diagnosed with dementia, with projections suggesting 150,000 in Ireland by 2045. Dementia encompasses a variety of symptoms leading to a decline in memory and thinking skills, significantly impacting daily activities. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 60-80% of cases, while vascular dementia, often resulting from a stroke, is the second most common type.

Finding activities for people with dementia isn’t one-size-fits-all, but here are some tips for selecting enjoyable and beneficial options:
Consider the person’s interests and abilities: What did they enjoy before dementia, and what can they still do?
Assess the level of support needed for the activity.
Ensure the environment is safe and familiar.
Even moderate exercise can improve mood, sleep, and overall health for people with dementia, offering a multitude of benefits that extend beyond mere physical fitness.
Staying social is so important for everyone’s mental well-being. Stay in touch with friends or join a social group such as walking or look out for dementia friendly classes to help you stay active.
Share past experiences through videos, photos, or music. Difficulty recalling memories can be stressful, but reminiscence therapy encourages positive memories without the pressure of constant questioning.
