"Life story books aide memory for people with dementia"
Therapist Tip: Life Story books help the memory of people with dementia and help to preserve their true identity. The prompts in this book help patients and caregivers to fill in all the important life aspects about that person. This book can become very important when the person can longer recall these details and can be used to educate outside caregivers and for prompting reminiscence.
