We have a close relative with dementia

Lynn is his physical guardian and sees him often.  I think we have both learned quite a bit from him and his condition.  She and I both spend moments each day gazing at the ceiling, trying to recall a name.  He is more advanced in forgetting.  He sure makes clear how often human memories are important in living.

We are all animals and need movement and mental engagement as much as food and air.  Without memory, it is difficult to hold conversations or enjoy participating in games.  I think there is a need for games that entertain and maybe slightly challenge people with declining mental abilities.
