The Story Behind Forget Me Not

Hi, I'm Jessica, the founder of Forget Me Not.

Having worked as a Memory Care Director, I've seen firsthand how meaningful activities can make a difference in the daily lives of individuals living with dementia.

I've also seen the challenges that families, caregivers, and memory care professionals face when trying to find activities that are engaging, appropriate for different abilities, and respectful of the person participating.

Too often, activities designed for individuals living with dementia can feel childish, overly complicated, or focused on testing what someone can remember rather than celebrating what they can still enjoy.

I wanted to create something different.

That's why I started Forget Me Not.

Thoughtfully Designed for Meaningful Engagement

Our collection includes matching games, reminiscence activities, hands-on pattern matching, picture books, and other thoughtfully created resources.

Each activity is designed with several goals in mind:

• Dignity: Providing activities that are age-appropriate and respectful of the individual.

• Engagement: Encouraging participation without unnecessary pressure or expectations.

• Connection: Creating opportunities for conversation and shared experiences.

• Adaptability: Offering activities that caregivers can adjust to an individual's interests and abilities.

• Enjoyment: Focusing on the experience rather than getting every answer right.

We understand that dementia affects everyone differently. An activity that works well for one person may not be appropriate for another, which is why we encourage caregivers to focus on individual interests, strengths, and preferences.

More Than Just Activities

At Forget Me Not, we believe meaningful engagement isn't about remembering every detail, completing every task, or getting every answer correct.

Sometimes, it's about recognizing a familiar face, talking about a favorite car, enjoying a beautiful photograph, or spending a few quiet moments together.

Our hope is that our activities make it a little easier for families, caregivers, and memory care professionals to create those moments.

Because meaningful moments still matter.
