A guide for caregivers for creating meaningful and enjoyable activities. The text argues that such moments can bring positive changes in the present, and build memories to treasure in the future. It offers practical "doable" suggestions for spending leisure time with people of all ages who need care, whether they are recovering from an illness, facing a terminal disease or growing older and more dependent on outside help. Caregivers are important in providing help with feeding, hygiene and health care. But they are also important in caring for the mind and the spirit. This book shows how caregivers can focus on: keeping the mind and body active; general body movement; influencing self-esteem and outlook; making plans for each day; keeping outings simple; and hobbies, interests and feeling useful. In addition to case examples of individual situations, the text provides information about the benefits of the activities and how to adapt them to fit different abilities, interests and age groups.
