The Easy and Relaxing Memory Activity Book for Adults: Includes Relaxing Memory Activities, Easy Puzzles, Brain Games and More

My 82 yr old aunt loved it!! She went through it in about 3 hours and was 'thirsty' for more!

This book really challenges your memory. All different kinds of things to do.Will buy another one for myself.

I got this for my other half who has Parkinson's and memory issues. There is a great variety of challenges for him. I did notice quite a few typos throughout the book. For him it is great but not challenging enough for myself

My elderly parents (in their 90s) live at home with me, they're mostly independent, they can follow normal daily conversations easily. Their memory and cognitive abilities are in early stage of decline. This book has about 100 puzzles and worksheets to fill in - good variety of challenges which match their cognitive level perfectly .. just hard enough that they need to use most or all of their intellect to complete each puzzle which gives them great satisfaction. They do the puzzles together at the dining room table with my guidance. For most of the puzzles, I ask mom to read the instructions out loud then I explain what to do if they need clarification. I also need to guide them through most puzzles so they know what to do but I don't give them the answers. There are answer pages in the back of the book for each puzzle. When I take them to a restaurant, I take a word search book or this puzzle book and two pens and they work on a word search page while we wait for the food to arrive - so much better than sitting there doing nothing. When your family member finishes the puzzle book, you can write your own puzzles using the same format as the puzzles in the book. Ex: Fill in the blank for famous expressions. "The ____ that broke the camel's back." You can write a list of expressions with one or two blanks in each one. If your family member has memory loss, you can photocopy the puzzle pages and use the same pages multiple times. I also bought the book: Decades of 100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors. My parents really enjoy reading these simple fictional stories which are written with descriptive details to bring back memories. Ex: "She picked up the phone off the wall hook in the kitchen and dialed her friend's number which she knew by heart." Each story is 1-2 pgs long. The stories are in chronological order from the 1950s to 1990s with 20 stories for each decade. You can read these stories to your family member at home, in hospital, in assisted living, in hospice. I got two bookmarks, wrote dad's name on one, mom's name on the other, so they can each mark where they finish reading. I plan to buy more puzzle and story books for my parents. So I recommend, this puzzle book the story book and large print word search books.

I was in a rehab facility for a month due to having pnemonia and having to get stronger in order to be able to go home. After a while tV and the radio is boring. Same for reading. I was so glad when i recieved this because not only was it fun, it made me use my brain unlike I feel like i had in a while. There were all different kind of puzzles to do, fiinding what the difference was from one picture compared to another, also math puzzles, trying to pick out the correct answer to questions that involved you counting and keeping the people straight, also other puzzles that you don’t see in any of the puzzles books now a days. I used to love getting these as a kid in school to do during qquiet time. But now they are geared towards adults and were much more fun. I will buy another verion of this when this publisher comes out with another. Maybe even buy one for my best friend who lives in another state.

Great not too complicated book to challenge short term and term memory and noted techniques to help you with memorizing . My client enjoyed it so much I didn't have the heart to take it with me when leaving! so here i am buying another!

Meh... I ordered this as I like a challenge and this stated it was for adults. Honestly it's very basic and not what I was expecting. Maybe I'm not adult enough ;). I'm retired and like to keep my mind sharp. Thought of returning it, but going to donate it instead. Some might find it a challenge. The print is big so that's a plus.

Fantastic book and fun to do

This is fun and not particularly demanding for a relaxed puzzle session.

Perfect for dementia people

Activities are really chosen well and easy to follow instructions. Bought it for my mom with memory issues. She is enjoying it.

Perfect for seniors as it is large print. Lots of variety of puzzles. Enough to challenge your brain without being too frustrating.

I bought this for my Father In Law who is 91 years old & he loves it! Him and I did some of the pages together and we had a lot of fun working together. Would recommend for elderly or honestly anyone that enjoys doing this type of thing. Non stressful, but challenging at the same time I just may purchase another for myself & I'm not near 90!
