What, if Anything, Can Be Done for an Old Pet With Dementia?
My dog is almost 17. She’s in fair health and quality of life is good. She seems to have some cognitive problems which I consider dementia. Shes gets stuck in certain places, zones out sometimes, wanders the house if things are not ‘right’ for her, has forgotten hand signals, and has accidents in the house regularly.
Can anything be done about this? I play with her every day, but since she’s just a pet, it’s impossible to determine how bad, or what to do. Anyone have ideas?

Ideas for People With Dementia and Easy Crafts?
Im an activities director for elderly people with dementia. This is my first time doing this line of work and I need some craft ideas that are easy. These people have mild to severe dementia, so these crafts have to be simple.
I am usually good with finding sites on the internet, but the sites for easy crafts usually take me to a web page with other links or sites with articles and advertisements. If anyone has a good website for easy crafts that would be great!
Any types of crafts that are easy to do and do not use small decorations (as in buttons, small beads, etc…). Projects that children would do… this does not infantile the elderly. It helps them maintain their dignity since it is based at a level where they can achieve the goals as opposed to setting expectations that are too difficult for them.
GOOD IDEAS SO FAR, BUT CAN ANYONE PROVIDE A GOOD WEBSITE?
