When visiting my mom I found that one of the most enjoyable activities is looking at pictures.  I recently bought her a digital picture frame and loaded it with several pictures.  When I visit her we flip through them and have a good laugh  .  I loaded it with a mix of old and recent pictures and this is much more convenient compared to lugging in several photo albums.  Anyone else have any other tips?

I'm going to visit my grandma tomorrow so thanks for the tips.  It is always so depressing when I go visit.

It is nice to read a spiritual book or a novel to the person if they are unable to communicate.  I have also read work which is self serving but I do think that the person's spirit is aware of your presence so it is nice to spend time with them.

The nursing home can be such an unpleasant experience sometimes.  I think bringing a picture book is a great idea!  We noticed that my grandma was playing with our keys or wallets, whatever we had in our hands, so we brought her a purse with some stuff in it.  She likes to hold it and fidget around with the stuff on the inside.

I bear in mind browsing my wife's mother. We constantly appear all-around dinner time. We'll also appear at images, tell stories that is like some sort of catching up. Cheers to your excellent occasions.
