Mid-stage memory care/dementia

Point out the first half of a word if needed. You can sound out the options verbally, pair the first part with each option, and get to the word that sounds right.

Encourage as much active participation as possible. If a person is unable to write, rather than you crossing out words as you find them (even if the person can’t write, they may be able to cross a word out), you can assist further by indicating with your finger where to put the X. This is a good nursing home activity.
