When a person with dementia is not going outside very often, it is important to remind them what season it is. Bring nature indoors. This really can help bring a sense of what season it is. When it is snowing, bring the snow indoors. Put it on a table and you can even make snowballs or a snowman. During the fall, bring in the changing leaves. You can even make a collage with the colorful leaves. When it is raining sit next to the window and talk about the rain. Bring the weather and nature indoors. You are doing a great job as a caregiver. Keep your head up and remember to look for support.
