Dementia Care Kits
When your loved one is diagnosed with dementia, it can be a life changing event for you. Taking care of someone with dementia can be challenging at many times as they experiences a decline in cognitive ability and memory. This is why MPL has added a collection of Dementia Care Kits which are designed to stimulate the brain for those with dementia. Each kit comes with activities such as books, games, DVDs or puzzles to help you engage your loved ones while helping them to exercise their brain and retain their skills.
Â
MPL has more than 20 kits and each kit can be checked out for 6 weeks at a time. Check out what kits are available now.
