Dr. Seifert brings her considerable expertise in eldercare into a new book about elder activities. Specifically designed with clear instructions, guides for activity preparation, and ready-to-go activities: Roses Grow in a Butterfly Garden describes cognitive exercises for elder- and dementia care, which have been field tested by the author. In addition, final chapters of the book describe how Dr. Seifert and her colleague, Dr. Mindy Baker, test activities. There are charts to show how the activities can be used when cognitive/memory scores are being collected. A wealth of practical knowledge for activity directors, activity staff, community volunteers, and family caregivers, too!
