A new collection for caregivers.
Schlow now offers 9 new memory kits and a selection of picture books to aid in memory therapy, with themes including seasons, farming, home and crafts, as well as outdoor activities, and pets. A diagnosis of dementia can be difficult for everyone in a family, but it's possible to maintain our emotional connections through memory therapy.
Schlow's memory kits are designed by Meternally to help generate feelings of comfort, joy, and happiness. "By viewing photo collections we initiate conversations about our favorite things and share our life stories with others. This allows us to reflect on the things and people in our present and past. By doing so we are preserving and sharing our history and reflecting on our worth and the importance of our own existence."
The memory picture books are published through Sunny Street Books, whose work is designed to engage readers with memory loss.
