Hi we have got mum and Ipad and I am looking for simple games that might be fun for her to do?
She has mild stage dementia now.

There are lots of jigsaw puzzles games and things like tile matching. But they mostly have lots of adverts that might take her to dodgy sites. Annoyingly, many of the adverts say “this game improves your memory” which is NOT true and advertising standards have ruled against it. But they still say it. So look carefully.

Simon Tatham’s Puzzles. You can set most to an easy level. Some my 5 year old will try.

If she won’t feel patronised, have a look at CBBC / CBeebies apps. There’s fun games at lots of levels, and a low chance of clicking on something dodgy.

Thanks. I have found vita colour and vita word search for seniors. Both seem ok
