what is alzhiemers-
alzhimers is a degenrative disorder that affects memeory recall of long term and episodic memory. paitents find ltm memory recall hard eading them to not be able to look after themselves
memory buses can be used to sitmulate episodic memory and recall in paitents. paitents travell on a bus from a specific time period from when they grew up. everyone on the bus is dressed from that time e.g 1920 and music from that time is playing. this is in hope of aidding recall of ltm
anouther way alzhimers can be treated is with cognative stimulation. paitents will lokk at pictures of family and past experiances to aid recall and will be asked to recount memorys. they will also do puzzles and games to stimulate cognition
anouther way alzhimers is treated is through validation therapy. for example a gated community , hodgeway, allows paitents to live the life they belive they have and be given small tasks and are validated for their belifes while being monitered by doctors and staff members acting as normal citizens
