Keeping BusyWord Search Puzzles for Older Adults with Dementia – Reusable Sheets with Markers for Alzheimer’s Patients - Engaging Alzheimer’s and Dementia Activities for Seniors

I purchased this game for my mom who has dementia. I let her look for words & I use the marker( dry erase) to circle the words for her. It comes with multiple game cards. I think it would be great for children as well.

My 93 y/o father-in-law has late stage dementia. He absolutely loves this word search. The letters are large and the search is easy enough that he feels a sense of accomplishment when he’s done. The beauty for me is that I can wipe the board clean and he can play again. Way better than the paper books.

This word search is great for my elderly mother. Words aren’t too difficult to locate and pages wipe easily to reuse. My only critique would be perhaps to make the markers retractable as my mother is unable to pull the tops off and even put the caps back on securely. I ordered her separate retractable markers as I do think she will enjoy the pages.

I wanted to write a review about this product even though my husbands Alzheimer’s is too advanced for the puzzles.I was ( am) so pleased with this word search purchase.For those of you who have a loved one that has middle to beginning late stages of Alzheimer’s I can honestly recommend these.First off, the words only go across, up and down. Those of us who have a loved one know that that is less confusing but still keeps our loved ones ( and ourselves) feeling as though they have a mature game to play.Second, very easy to clean up right away. Both sides are laminated , extremely easy to read and the marker that is included wipes off easy but not on the word search itself.Third, not a ton of words so it’s overwhelming, just enough to be a non frustrating fun activity.I plan on buying more of these, to donate to facilities or in home care givers .As we all know, this is an individual type of disease.Not so expensive that if your loved one can’t do them your out of money.Donate them if it doesn’t suit your sweetie.They deserve the try.

Just what was expected

I bought books and games and this is the only activity my grandfather looks forward to doing for hours. Gave him a sense of pride and uplifted his mood. Thank you keeping busy! I highly recommend!

A very nice activity for older adults with dementia. Can be used over and over. It can help give someone a sense of accomplishment, success. I'm trying to send something every week to a favorite uncle with dementia. He's been great to me my whole life. I'm just returning his kindnesses.

I bought these for my Dad who has Alzheimer’s. He hasn’t tackled any yet, but my Mom completed several of the puzzles. She loved the fact that the “ink” could be easily washed off the pages, to be used another day. I’m sure my Dad will like them if he can get them away from Mom! This is a great gift imo, especially because Dad has very little short term memory, so he can replay these puzzles without getting bored.

We need lots of activities and these work as described. Solid quality

This activity is easy to understand and use. The cards are wipe off with pens supplied so they can be used many times over. Very appropriate for someone that needs an easy straightforward activity.

A waste of money. You only get 3 double sided cards. The individual can only do 6 word searches. The book "Easy Relaxing Puzzles" had a variety of word searches.

this product is very juvenile like something a young child would use
