Scrapbooking for Alzheimer's patients is a relatively new activity thought to help the patient and family share and retain the patients memories in a special way for as long as possible.

 individual with early Alzheimer's disease? 
 It's the activities involved in it, such as collecting old photos and
 keepsakes.  While patients often have
 problems with short-term memory, they may be able to recall past
 experiences.  <A title="Scrapbooking" href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/topic/5553/scrapbooking.html" rel="&content_type=topic&content_type_id=5553" class="link interlink">Scrapbooking</A> for Alzheimer's
 patients can lead to a conversation about people and events.  For instance, one lady who lived to be 104
 years old could be encouraged to talk about her experience with the Titanic.  If these memories had been scrapbooked, how
 interesting that would have been.  For
 the Alzheimer's patient, the point is the interaction between him or her and
 those caring for them, whether family or professional or both.
