Books offer comfort and enhance life quality by connecting us with memories, self, and loved ones. Reading boosts life satisfaction through imagination, stress reduction, and empathy while promoting self-respect and dignity.

Engaging with books may include focusing on pictures, partial text comprehension, or exploring pages randomly. Signs of engagement involve visual focus, vocalizing, page-turning, and verbal reactions. Sometimes, simply having a manageable book can be comforting.

For people living with dementia, traditional reading can be challenging due to cognitive impairments, environmental factors, and physical or psychological issues. Adapting text, layout, and content can help maintain the work's value while overcoming these obstacles.

In this collection, modified reading materials have been chosen thoughtfully to provide enjoyment and mental stimulation for all readers. The Collection features are:

  • Brightly illustrated or photographed books
  • A range of topics that will stimulate memory and reminiscences
  • Larger print
  • Simple text
  • Consists of non-fiction, fiction and adult/large print books and selected children's fiction
