Arrange for visits with family and friends. To refresh your memory about each visitor, keep a small photo album that includes a photo of each person along with information about where they work or go to school, their pets, hobbies, children or grandchildren, home and so forth. Ask your visitors questions about their lives and they will do most of the talking, while thinking of you as an amazing conversationalist.
Share photographs and stories of your connections and times together. Humorous anecdotes, pearls of wisdom and favorite memories will keep your mind active and memories alive.
