Holiday shopping and gift-giving can often be challenging, but even more so when shopping for a person living with dementia. Depending on the stage of disease, some well-intentioned gifts may no longer be appropriate or practical for the person.
This holiday season the Alzheimer’s Association releases its 2023 Holiday Gift Guide, offering ideas for individuals living in the early, middle and late stages of Alzheimer’s disease. The guide also includes gift suggestions aimed at keeping those living with dementia engaged and involved in everyday tasks, as well as gift ideas for family members and friends serving as unpaid caregivers for these individuals.
In Texas, 400,000 people are living with Alzheimer’s disease and more than 1 million people serve as unpaid caregivers.
