A Memory Book

  Example of a memory notebook
   

My dad has Alzheimer's and we've discovered how useful a memory book can be.

I've put family stories and pictures into a nice album. Sometimes we just sit and visit and look at the photos.

It's also been useful for visitors. If they don't know what to talk about with Dad, they can always pick up the memory book and share something he enjoys.
