Much of the information listed within these categories is presented on PowerPoint slides. Wherever possible, these activities and guides were saved as PDFs (a file type that everyone should be able to open). In some instances, the software “PowerPoint” will be required to enjoy the full experience of the activity. Depending on your internet settings, you may see pop-ups reminding you of potential security concerns. We assure you that when you see these pop-ups on our site, you can select “allow” or “yes” to enjoy the content. The recreation staff at McCormick Dementia Services have enjoyed creating this content for your home use and hope that you find it helpful.
