<a href="https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=254069365&mm=88864302817">The Dementia Inclusive Public Library Guide</a> from the Ohio Council For Cognitive Health. Memory Care Kits are designed to incorporate activities that utilize the preserved strengths of
people living with dementia. The purpose of these activities is to provide meaningful, enjoyable ways for individuals to engage in life while completing familiar tasks that maintain one’s abilities.
