I am compiling a photo album for my Mum who has mid stage Alzheimers and wondered if anyone has some tips that have worked well before? My ideas are..
1) have about 40 photos
2) have one of Mum looking really happy on the front with 'Sally's story'
3) make sure the photos and large and clear
4) accompany the pics with clear words.
5) include as many as possible with Mum in the pics, i.e with her favourite dog, with her children etc.
6) make it so that if any of the pics cause her sadness we can remove and insert a new one.
7) focus on the subjects she likes to talk about and remembers now rather than, for example, pets she loved at the time but has now largely forgotten.
Does all this make sense? Any other tips?
