Ken, that's sad! But you are a wonderful son for caring!!! Try crossword puzzles with your dad!. And, "regular" puzzles are good, too!. (Not the really tough ones; just try something simple!) Also, scrapbooks from "days gone by" are always handy!. After my dad's stroke, he might not remember peoples' names, but he loved looking at their pictures!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Exersise is the greatest exersize for the mind (it's not a matter of opinion either studies have shown this!.) I'm sure getting a good daily exersise routine in his day will help slow the progression of dementia!.
So considering his age, I think having a daily walk is something to consider!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
