Engage in meaningful conversations, stimulate cognition, and create lasting memories with a simple and fun game. StorySparks doesn’t just help you capture your loved ones but is meticulously designed to be an interactive activity providing hours, days, and months of interactive enjoyment.
As a caregiver, I can reach for StorySparks when Mrs. G gets agitated or we want something to do. Playing always calms her down and I notice a real difference in energy and mood in her for the rest of the day.
I've honestly been amazed at how good the questions are. We are talking about things that would NEVER come up otherwise. I'm so grateful we are doing this now. I only wish I had it 5 years before my mother passed. I would love to know how she would answer!
It's great to have an activity that actually engages everyone ... my kids are learning more about their grandmother. She and her caregiver play StorySparks instead of watching TV. Even my brother who lives out of state can participate by building the StoryBook. Huge!
StorySparks is so easy and works great for wherever we are. Since my wife's diagnosis, it seems like all I do is figure out complicated stuff and adjust our way of life. StoryCards is different - it's just easy. The cards do all the heavy lifting and I feel good knowing I'm still spending quality time with my wife.
I run a respite program and support group. My support folks can't thank me enough for introducing them to StorySparks. Finding great resources is invaluable. My group also loves playing the group version. Having an off-the-shelf, no prep work activity that engages everyone is priceless.
The unique game design enables a wide range of people to meaningfully engage and stimulate those with dementia, Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline. Thoughtfully crafted so that children, paid caregivers, program leaders, and even loved ones outside the home can all get involved. Anyone with a 3rd-grade reading level can just pick a card and start high-impact engagement with your loved one.
The game comes with everything you need for hours, days, weeks, and months of entertainment. Much better than watching TV! Each card helps you guide your StoryTeller through dusty memories they may have long forgotten. Instead of focusing on big, macro cognitive questions, the expertly-written cards support unearthing meaningful details reliving positive memories. Moreover, the included StoryBook seamlessly incorporates powerful visual associations for even more engagement. As Dave, age 86 with stage 3 Alzheimer’s shared: “I was amazed at what I could remember.” His wife, Susan, echoed, “I learned things I never knew about my husband of 60+ years!”
For all those who have ever struggled to fully interact with someone they love, StorySparks is for you. Grandchildren can go through an enlightening handful of cards to get more out of visits and paid caregivers can enrich their client's experience while the primary caregiver is away. You can even use StorySparks over the phone and recruit those outside the home who want to help but often aren’t sure how.
