She Won’t Join Group Activities… But We Still Make Holiday Memories Even With Dementia 💜
Last year’s Halloween with Mama was such a special day. 🎃 Even with dementia, I make it a point to include her in everything — especially the holidays.
She doesn’t usually participate in activities with other residents at her memory care facility, so I bring the activities to her. Whether it’s decorating, dressing up, or just sharing a few laughs, these moments keep her engaged — and honestly, they give me purpose too. 💜
Caregiving is about more than routines and responsibilities — it’s about creating connection, even when the mind forgets. Every shared smile, every small activity, reminds me that joy still lives here.
