My Mum has vascular dementia. She has lived in a hospital dementia unit for over a year now. When my father and I visit she is often sleepy and often stares into space mumbling unintelligibly to herself. On a good day we can get her to engage with us. Today I took in a balloon & we played ball with it, hitting it back and fore between the three of us. Then we drew a smiley face on it. She liked it and smiled and looked at us and said some sensible words. A good day. Sometimes the simplest toys are the best.
