Caring for someone with dementia is not easy...but there are so many things that you can still enjoy doing together "Bring Back the Fun" is a collection of ideas for activities that are appropriate for use by families at home, by professional in-home care providers and by leaders of group programs for people with Alzheimer's and other dementias. As you read this book, you are sure to find several ideas to enrich the lives of the person you care for...ideas you can put to use today. This book is a compilation of ideas from author Marcie Jones' personal experience as the primary caregiver for her "Gram," as well as the ideas that are used successfully every day at Gentog - the Intergenerational Daycare Center she helped to create. Marcie credits Program and Activities Directors Cathy Ranck and Lisa Rice with designing a program at Gentog that makes participants feel loved and needed while they do things they really enjoy. The reading of this book is intended to be fun as well...it is written from the perspective of the person with dementia...mostly in the voice of Marcie's feisty "Gram." The book features dozens of photos of Gentog participants enjoying the activities described. A picture is worth a thousand words...and these photos truly reflect fun and joy that can be created in these easy-to-replicate activities.
