It\u2019s important to find a gift that they appreciate, one that is meaningful and one that isn\u2019t too complicated to use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While providing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/los-angeles\/blog\/important-choice-between-in-home-care-and-placement\/\">in-home care<\/a> for seniors across Los Angeles, the Salus team is often asked for Christmas gift ideas from families who are coping with Alzheimer\u2019s disease. As the holiday season nears, here are some of our top picks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Gift of Music<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/piano-recital-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"child-playing-piano\" class=\"wp-image-10406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/piano-recital-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/piano-recital-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/piano-recital-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/piano-recital.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Music has a remarkable effect on seniors with Alzheimer\u2019s, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alzheimersla.org\/caregiver-tips-video-04-anger\/\">calming them<\/a>, bringing back past memories and inciting important emotions. A gift of music might include a copy of your loved one\u2019s favorite Christmas record and a simple record player, a video recording of a grandchild playing piano at a holiday recital that the senior can&#8217;t attend, or simply a little time spent with your loved one singing a favorite Christmas carol or other holiday tune. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Puzzles and Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/caregiver-and-senior-doing-puzzle-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"caregiver-and-senior-doing-puzzle\" class=\"wp-image-10407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/caregiver-and-senior-doing-puzzle-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/caregiver-and-senior-doing-puzzle-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/caregiver-and-senior-doing-puzzle-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/caregiver-and-senior-doing-puzzle.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Puzzles and games can help to engage the mind, stimulate the senses and potentially, slow the progression of Alzheimer\u2019s disease. They&#8217;re also wonderful to with your loved one, at a holiday gathering or during some one-on-one time at Christmas. When picking a game, make sure that your selection isn\u2019t too complicated. While Monopoly might be more than your loved one can manage, checkers, large print word finds, or 24-48 piece wooden puzzles will offer them a challenge without the frustration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Favorite Treats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes Alzheimer\u2019s disease causes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/los-angeles\/blog\/smart-food-choices-for-a-healthy-heart\/\">appetite<\/a> to diminish, making it difficult for the senior to maintain a healthy weight. Having a stash of favorite treats on hand can help. If the treat that mom or dad loves the best is only available during the holidays, stock up so that there\u2019s enough to last throughout the year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Laceless Shoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/senior-putting-on-shoes-1-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"senior-putting-on-laceless-shoes\" class=\"wp-image-10405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/senior-putting-on-shoes-1-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/senior-putting-on-shoes-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/senior-putting-on-shoes-1-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/senior-putting-on-shoes-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, the best holiday gifts for seniors with Alzheimer&#8217;s are practical gifts. A supportive pair of shoes is essential if your loved one enjoys walking and is trying to maintain independence while ambulating throughout the house. However, shoes with laces feel complicated for a senior with Alzheimer\u2019s disease, and untied shoes increase the risk of trips and falls. This Christmas, consider a pair of shoes with non-slip soles and without laces or with Velcro straps instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Large Whiteboard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leaving notes helps your loved one to remember to take their medications or eat, or provides easy-to-find information for professional caregivers or other family members. To help, consider purchasing a large white board as a gift for a senior with Alzheimer&#8217;s to hang in the room where your loved one spends most of their time. Reserve this space for short notes and avoid cluttering it with too many decorative features or holiday doodles. The simplicity makes it easier for your loved one to process the information and avoid feeling confused. This useful gift improves the way you communicate. It provides a place to leave important or thoughtful notes, helping your loved one to retain information that is meaningful to them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Gift Giving Considerations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When purchasing gifts for your loved one this holiday, take into consideration their likes, dislikes and preferences. Also consider the stage of Alzheimer\u2019s that they are in. A person in the earlier stage of this disease might find puzzles and games enjoyable, but in the later stage, your loved one might get more use out of a cozy blanket, cream for a comforting massage, or a bouquet of flowers to help brighten up their room.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a final thought, remember that the most meaningful gift for a senior with Alzheimer&#8217;s that you can give this holiday season is your time. Spend an hour reading a book to mom or dad, enjoy a cup of tea with them, or simply sit and reminisce for awhile. While Alzheimer\u2019s might slow their response, it won\u2019t change the positive ways in which your simple presence can impact them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re struggling to cope with the challenges of Alzheimer\u2019s disease this holiday season, Salus Homecare of Los Angeles is here to help.

She spent the earliest part of her career assisting clients and supporting family caregivers in skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. Later, she served as a social worker and case manager for Services to Maintain Independence at the Department of Social Services for one of the largest counties in North Carolina. In that role, her goal was to assist clients who wished to age in place, providing them with resources, information and support that made it easier to safely remain at home. Today, Christine's role has shifted, and she focuses on providing families and seniors with support through digital media platforms as they navigate information, search for tools to overcome isolation and find ways to stay more connected to society while aging in place. Christine is passionate about helping seniors to maintain independence and providing families with the information they need to overcome challenges associated with dementia, physical health conditions and the aging process. She remains active in her community through volunteer work and advocacy, and in her spare time, enjoys spending time with her husband and three children.\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Holiday Gifts for a Senior with Alzheimer's Disease - Salus Homecare","description":"Choosing the right holiday gift for a senior with Alzheimer's can be challenging.

She spent the earliest part of her career assisting clients and supporting family caregivers in skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. Later, she served as a social worker and case manager for Services to Maintain Independence at the Department of Social Services for one of the largest counties in North Carolina. In that role, her goal was to assist clients who wished to age in place, providing them with resources, information and support that made it easier to safely remain at home. Today, Christine's role has shifted, and she focuses on providing families and seniors with support through digital media platforms as they navigate information, search for tools to overcome isolation and find ways to stay more connected to society while aging in place. Christine is passionate about helping seniors to maintain independence and providing families with the information they need to overcome challenges associated with dementia, physical health conditions and the aging process. She remains active in her community through volunteer work and advocacy, and in her spare time, enjoys spending time with her husband and three children."}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9989"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9989\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10638,"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9989\/revisions\/10638"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/los-angeles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
