My 67 yr old mom was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Is this something that we can play with her to keep her mind active, but isn't to difficult that it is frustrating for her? She is in the middle stages. Thank you in advance!!

My 7 year old has no trouble, she's just not as fast as my 10 yr old. Most puzzles have a few obvious cubes to start with..dots or solids. We love it

I think it would be fine for him to use it alone if he doesn't have dementia or some reason not to understand about the way to turn around or reverse. If his arms are fairly strong, should be no problem. It is very easy to push, too. If there would be an incline, maybe you could help a little if needed.

And more! My 89 year old mother recently visited me and enjoyed audio books as well. You might consider a case with a keyboard if the touch keyboard is hard to use.

My oldest likes to play on my youngest's LeapPad (she's 11), but she finds the games a bit slow, and knows all the "educational" things in the games...for an 8y/o it would depend on if he's ever had any other gaming system, but probably would get bored with it sooner then you'd want.

We have Sleeping Queens and it is so fun! It is different to Rat A Tat Cat. Don't know about the moose game. We love most of their games. My kids are old for it now, but I bought it to use to use in my educational therapy practice, to use as fun way to develop on working memory for students with learning disabilities, especially working memory challenges.

For sure, just make sure you are getting games appropriate for her age/level. We love the coloring one here, lol.

My son just turned four, and he went through this so fast we had to get the more difficult one. I think she will start slow, then catch on quickly to pointing out the same items, even if she can't say what they are. My kids have their own description of all the items, anyway...funny stuff. My advice is try it....I think you will be surprised how fast she will pick it up. Or, in just a few months try again. It is such a fun game to just hang out and play.

The reminders are automatic up to 4 times daily. My mother has mild Alzheimer's and she pushes the button to remind her of the date and time. The boxes also show if she has taken her pills each day. They are also good for travel. I highly recommend this.

This thing FINALLY gave me peace of mind. I was calling daily at 8AM to remind my MIL of her pills and then her afternoon, etc. she lives alone and has mild to moderate alzheimers. She now can match the number on the clock and the box and she takes them on her own. YES, she does have to push a button. BUT...it's just to stop the voice from reminding her to take the pills, although eventually it stops on it's own anyway. But it will automatically remind her to take her next set. LIFE CHANGER!! I still go check to see if she took them, but it's more casual and not so desperate.

I guess it would depend on her age. I'm 65 years old, and a Grand mother, I am able to handle it with to problem. If she is 85 and on the weak side, this could be to heavy for her.

If you really want to improve your memory, you should be taking VCO (virgin coconut oil. Here's the one I use: http://goo.gl/IzFDEG . I like it because it's organic and it's high quality. There's a doctor that used it for her husband who had Alzheimer's and her husband had a profound improvement in a short period of time just by taking it regularly. Consistency is the key. You can also read this book that features in detail the many health benefits of VCO: http://goo.gl/sxQi3Q . I hope this helps.

Yes I found it very easy to use and I am 78 so hopefully your mother will cope too.

They have asked me to answer but I am a grandma and buy the Angry birds for a grandchild. Please request additional feedback from someone else. Sorry. I do know he uses it through his mothers camera on the iPhone.

Some cats just don't play. Senior or older adults are content to sit and watch the world go by. If all the advice here does not encourage kitty to play ten I'd donate this to a favorite shelter and let kitty be as he is - a happy sedentary camper.
