Dad used to do Suduko but can't anymore. Sometimes I fill in most of the blanks and let him try to do the rest. He is down to a 100 piece jigsaw puzzle with help. Remarkably, he can still sort of play checkers and solitare (if someone is helping him). Besides watching TV (always the same news channel at high volume...UGH!), what kinds of things can I give him to do by himself? One of the main reasons I'm hoping to put him in AL is so that he has an activity director because he NEEDS that. But AL is not an option for him during covid so I have become the activity director. His care is mostly easy... so I am fortunate and not complaining. Just looking for ideas.
Here is a link to a wide variety of activities for seniors with Alz. & dementia from Amazon:

This one looks particularly good in the word game category:

Good luck!
