I like to make lap quilts for alzheimers, dementia patients..lots of things to do..like zippers, buttons, loop, crinkle fabric,etc. Also I put an elephant silhouette(elephants never forget!)..Make some 'pockets' with the sewable clear plastic fronts , so they can put pictures in. Another neat thing is cloth banners for walkers, or across the foot of the bed, on the wall,..Happy B-Day, Anniversery,Veterans day, etc. This encourages a lot of conversation.
