In Keeping Busy, James Dowling describes a variety of activities designed to bring meaning and enjoyment to the lives of persons with dementia. The activities are organised by general categories such as music, exercise, horticulture, pets, humour, and social events. The largest section deals with communication and includes word games that help people to make the most of their remaining verbal skills. The description of each activity includes step-by-step instructions, as well as tips on how to adapt it for small or large groups, for individuals at home or in an institution, or for people who are bedridden.
