bulletMe'n'u Menu - Menu templates for playing Restaurant in your home.
Ma Neville was able to create her own meals - or meals for her and Jonathon - for much longer, thanks to a simple menu posted on the fridge (with variations).  Using a more complete version, Jonathon got to play Maitre d' and famous Chef.  And yes, Surprise of the Day is a menu option.  Jonathon developed an Optimized Food System, making food production a dance, allowing for the convenience of pre-prepared foods and the depth of home-made, and home-grown.

- so people with early-mid Alzheimer's can still go shopping on their own.

bulletCustomized Calendar  +   24-Hour Script.   
Ma Neville uses a calendar intensively, albeit sometimes chaotically.
Use this modifiable template to print your own calendars, with regular events and perhaps checkboxes (pill?).  People with Alzheimer's almost universally lose the ability to initiate activities.  And the day may be structured only by "time to eat" and "time for the news", with the rest of the day spent lying on the couch.  But if the calendar says it's time for music lessons/practice, or it's time to go on an imaginary journey (spin the globe and clock to anywhere, anytime), or it's time for the Creative/Re-Minding workout, Mom does it!

bulletDigital Library
Actually, probably not - Jonathon has developed a, well, awesome, collection of songs and comedy and movies for enriching caregiving, but most are not public domain, so they can't be offered - except as links to buy them.

bulletModeling for Memory
Being able to develop functional models should be as common as reading, writing and arithmetic.  By creating models of reality = artistic representations, where they are better art insofar as they are more pragmatic, I became able to grow my mind - my sculpture stayed intact while I dealt with other things. MOREOVER, Mom was able to tour everything that is meaningful for her, every day, by looking at our several models, and the comprehensive model which integrates them all.  Models include music, theatre, gardening, contact improv dance, and business.

bulletDoomed to TV?
Sometimes as a caregiver I felt I had to find something on TV to entertain mom (or something in the video store or on the internet).    Here's how I got out of that rut.
