1940s Memory Lane: Large print book for dementia patients

I bought this as a birthday present for my grandma with dementia, and she loved it. She has a lot of memory problems so this book was great at keeping her mind active. The pictures and words are large enough for her to read, and it got her thinking about memories of her childhood, which is important for someone with dementia. Couldn't recommend it enough

The simple layout of this book is brilliant for my mum. Each page covers a different topic with simple text and a selection of appropriate photos that prompts lots of interest and chat. My mum enjoys looking through this book and talking through the photos. Great value for money bringing hours of interest and. memories.

I bought this for my elderly dad who has Alzheimer's. He really enjoys looking through the book & recognises many of the artists. There is sufficient written information about each artist for him to read as well as photo's. It has been a great tool for reminiscing & encouraging conversation. Highly recommend.

Bought for my mum to help with her memory as she has dementia.

Perfect gift For my mum

My grandmother, 99 and her sister, 95 had a lovely afternoon with this book. my grandmother has vacular dementia but with this book we had a wonderful afternoon as the pictures prompted lots of memories and funny stories - tears of laughter which in recent years have been sadly lacking. what a brilliant buy, like getting her back for a little while. thank you

When this book arrived, I was disappointed. Seemed thin and not very interesting. What do I know? My husband is 90 and suffers from dementia. He LOVES it. It has become his favourite book! It has clear photos of people and things that he recognises and the print is large, so he tries to read it, even on his own.

Great for reminiscing but shame the pictures are black and white inside.

Great book for older relatives with dementia. We purchased this book for my 92 year old mother in law with mild dementia.I can’t tell you how many times she’s mentioned how much she’s enjoyed this book. It has sparked so many memories and has brought her a lot of joy reminiscing about the 1940’s. She has shared the book with friends in her retirement community and together have shared stories of days gone by. Thank you for publishing such a wonderful book, it has brought so much happiness.

Using for work a lot and the residents really enjoy the materia.l.

As described.

My mother is late stage dementia. Repeats a lot. Still interacts. Lives in the present. Born 1931. She absolutely loves this book. The combination of photos and simple text work for her. I've showed it to her about 3 times. She gets absorbed and repeatedly says "This is fascinating." Loves Clark Gable and Cary Grant a lot. She asks me who certain people are and says, "Oh yes," when I tell her. This book is a great hit for at least one elderly woman with dementia.

Nice book. Agree with another review that a lot of the events were from the UK. Still nice. My friend enjoyed it.
