Art and Alzheimers

Someone very dear to me is suffering with Alzheimers, thus my search for info about Art and Alzheimers. (I wondered what would come up online regarding using art to help those afflicted with Alzheimers. Here is one article I found so far, showing how art can awaken the mind and memory. Another interesting article, and take some time to read THIS one....my favorite so far.
