My mom still loves to read. She does not understand what the words are saying, but she still can decode the words. I take her magazines to read, but would like to get her a couple of books. She'll read anything. She'll pick up books at her memory care and read them. One she picked up before this quarantine had funny stories about dogs and people, and it was also inspirational as well as religious.
Do any of you have any ideas for books to give? And, if your mom has dementia, what are some things you're getting for her for Mother's Day? I'm also getting her some pajamas, a new shirt, and flowers/card of course:)
Thank you all for any ideas!
Another good source is the little free libraries set up as book exchanges. Do a Google search, I have 2 in my neighborhood and I find every genre imaginable. They are great resources for books and you don't need to have any to exchange the 1st time. Lots of people donate to the libraries and they have an excess of books. You can keep the ones you really enjoy and exchange the ones that you will never read again.
My personal favorites are written more than a 100 years ago, doesn't matter who, just love the language in books from long ago.
Thrift stores are also a great resource for books.
I would keep it simple. Maybe Middle School level.
