My grandfather has dementia and is going to be living with me. He has a helper, but I'm wondering about things I can do that will make life better for him while he's here. Help me come up with some activities that I can do with him that will be beneficial.
Sure thing! Here are some ideas of activities that are great for people who have dementia:

1. Cooking - Cooking is not only practical, but it stimulates all 5 of our senses, making it the perfect activity for dementia patients at home.  

2. Albums - Looking at scrapbooks and photo albums can be a great activity because it can help bring back meaningful memories and also may spark some great conversations between you.

3. Pasta threading - This is a simple task that can be fun for people with dementia, and they get to wear their creations when they're done. Use a brightly colored yarn and pasta with large openings.

4. Gardening - Many people with dementia did some gardening at some point in their lives, and doing this can help bring back some memories. It also stimulates the senses.

5. Fish tank - Placing a large fish tank in an area where it is easy for them to see can be a great way to stimulate and relax them. They may also enjoy the activities of feeding the fish and helping to clean the tank.
