Material Detail

The population of older people is rising with time. They are more likely to experience health conditions and well-being challenges. Isolation can negatively affect older adults’ well-being and longevity. Similarly, conditions such as dementia can develop and progress rapidly, leading to declines in cognitive, behavioral, and physical abilities. Further, traumatic events such as accidental falls often result in slower recovery, causing prolonged immobility.

This free therapeutic activity book is dedicated to older people worldwide. It is designed to encourage them to recall positive memories for their well-being. While challenging and painful experiences are also part of their life stories, this book intentionally focuses on the positive aspects of life. This gift of love is a research-based outcome. Moments of joy recalled by a few older adults were collected and transformed into coloring pages. Random glimpses of the past, present, and future of life form an additional layer.

While I tried my best to include as many meaningful memories as possible, there may still be experiences I have missed. These will be added in future editions. This open book is useful for nursing care homes, hospitals, and families who want to keep older people busy, active, and happy.  

I am confident that some moments will bring smiles to their faces and will encourage them to recall and share their personal stories with others.

Let us celebrate healthy ageing.
