Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if this is in the right forum or not, if not please feel free to move it!
It's my Granny's 76th birthday in 10 days, and then of course Christmas is only around the corner.....so I'm wondering if any of you would have a good idea as to what to get an alzheimer's sufferer for birthdays/christmas? We can't think of anything that my Granny would be able to do. She barely has the concentration to watch TV these days never mind anything else. Normally all she gets is some sort of sweets or biscuits, but we're trying to cut back on that as her weight is a bit of a problem.
I'm sorry that this is such a stupid question but I would love to get her something that would be able to stimulate her, or at least interest her. Any suggestions would be greatly received!
Another thing, we got the Alzheimer's society Christmas catalogue a while back, I was going to order a few things out of it, but I'm wondering how much of the money (if any) goes to the AS? There is a bird watching box in it that I was going to get my Grandad (he is getting more and more confused), you attach it to the window and put some food in it for the birds to go in to. I think he would like it, but I would like to think that some of the money would be going to the Society. Any info?
Thanks, take care
