Before my mother's stroke her favorite hobbies were putting together large puzzles and playing cards. After her stroke the puzzles were impossible and there were no age appropriate small ones. Dad made her a card holder and she could play cards for a while.

My mothers needs and frustrations played a key role to my developing Memory Jogging Puzzles and Memory Exercise Cards.

After researching I discovered the same needs still existed today as when my mother was suffering from Alzheimer's after a massive stroke many years ago.

My puzzles and memory cards have themes of the real life illustrations by Norman Rockwell - The Saturday Evening Post and they are beneficial not only to the person with Alzheimer's but to the caregivers.

"Your puzzles do indeed show some promise, due to the fact that they engage persons with their
emotional and recognition memory, but then rely upon "here and now" problem-solving skills."
