Flowers has only 12 pieces, a very simplified image from everyday life, and large pieces which are easy to handle. Each piece measures 2 7/8" x 2 3/4", and the completed puzzle measures 10" x 12".
For dementia patients, jigsaw puzzles with many pieces and detailed images are too difficult. MindStart puzzles, designed by an occupational therapist, are unique because the images have only a few, simple objects in each image, making it easier for the user to find pieces that go together. This design feature, along with having fewer puzzle pieces and images from adult life, allows the person with dementia to have the right level of mental stimulation and dignified success. Also, the large size of the puzzle pieces helps seniors with vision loss to easily see and handle the pieces. A research study showed that patients with dementia were able to set the MindStart puzzles more independently, with less cues needed, when compared to a child’s puzzle of the same size. This gives the person a sense of accomplishment and gives caregivers respite time.

A pleasant diversion for an older visually impaired friend. All of the pieces were included and they are good quality. Happy that the box does not reference dementia, as that is not the situation here and I imagine it would take the joy out of the product, if it were so and the recipient read the box.
I purchased this 12 piece puzzle for my mother-in-law who has dementia. It is the perfect size, stimulates her brain, and is challenging for her current mental and physical state.
I purchased 3 puzzles for my sister who is in assisted living. The puzzles are great mentally and physically. She has arthritis and the puzzles are helpful in exercising her hands and fingers. The activity was so much fun, other residents got involved..Perfect entertainment,thank you....

It was great to see my mom, who is suffering from dementia, enjoy being successful with putting this puzzle together... and to find out that she likes more of a challenge! :o)
Great for dementia patients
I especially like the packaging that does NOT say dementia and alzeimers on the box. Not true of some other brands.
GREAT SIZE FOR PATIENT
Good feeling of accomplishment for the residents who have difficulty with puzzles.
I gave this puzzle to a retirement facility where there are residents with Alzheimers. My friend there, who was a whiz at puzzles, now finds she has difficulty with the big ones. This one, having 12 pieces that are bright and easy to hold, gives her new joy.
I like all the puzzles .Some are easy and some are hard to do. The puzzles are very fine quality and very pretty and beauty to do. I would rate this excellent.
