Are you a caregiver providing in-home care to a patient with dementia, memory loss, or low vision who loves to play card games? The Mind-Start Numbers and Suits Cards is a simplified playing card game designed by an Occupational Therapist especially for people with memory loss, or dementia. Each playing card has only a large suit icon or a large number on it. This adapted card game is designed for people who like numbers or enjoy sorting and playing cards.
The Mind-Start Numbers and Suits Cards include jumbo-sized playing cards that measure 3.5 inches wide and 5 inches long, for easier handling and viewing. Each deck of cards includes 36 number cards (4 cards each of numbers 1-9), 16 suit cards (4 cards each of Club, Spade, Diamond, and Heart), and 3 instruction cards. More than ten game-playing ideas for both higher and lower functioning level players are also included.
