[quote=Anonymous]I work in a long-term unit of a (very highly-rated) nursing home, and many of my residents have Alzheimer's/ dementia. I would suggest maybe small (12-14-16" or so) foam puzzles he can do to keep his hands busy. The DVD player is fine if he will be able to operate it himself. Based on your description of his facility, it's likely no aide is going to have enough time to turn it on/ off/ hit play etc for him (in my 5-star facility, no aide has time for this either). Also, that would probably disappear quickly. Whatever you buy, write his name on it in big letters in Sharpie. It might still disappear though. Whatever you buy, make sure to tell the facility social worker and unit nurse you brought it, you labeled it, you expect it to stay in his room, and the facility is responsible if it disappears.[/quote]
