Description

The Connections Activity Program for People with Dementia is a strength-based approach to activity planning that helps individuals with dementia stay energized and connected to their lifelong interests. This program, developed for both professional and family caregivers, provides tools and step-by-step instructions for matching a person's level of cognitive function and current abilities with activities tailored to past interests.

By using this approach, caregivers can reduce stress by breaking down and structuring activities to enable individuals with dementia to engage in them as independently as possible. The program shows how, with proper support, people with dementia can enjoy meaningful engagement and improved emotional well-being.

This resource includes detailed case examples, sample intervention guides, and downloadable resources such as conversation starters, leisure interest surveys, cognitive function checklists, and information summaries to help caregivers implement specific activities and adapt them for individuals with early-, middle-, and late-stage dementia.
