Alzheimer's Disease | EXERCISES for DEMENTIA | Recreation Therapy

This workout is suitable for anyone wanting a chair workout, but also for those with dementia, including Alzheimer's Disease and any other type of dementia. The moves are less complicated so they are easier to understand. I count since I find participants will often count with me and it is something they can still do. If your loved one can't lift their arms all the way due to shoulder injuries or loss of mobility, just encourage them to lift as far as it is comfortable. I purposely don't talk too much in the video since it is easy to overwhelm a person with dementia. Although I can't use popular music from the 50's & 60's due to copyright laws, I tried to find music that would still be appropriate yet not overwhelming. I hope this video will help to get your loved one moving. Wishing you and your loved one all the best as you spend time exercising together.
