Memory Care Kits available at the library

Memory Care Kits are now available for checkout at Crook County Library in Sundance. Memory Care Kits are multi-sensory kits designed for people with dementia, memory loss or cognitive impairment.

They can be used for senior activities in a group setting, such as the senior center or retirement home. They are also wonderful for family gatherings in your own home as a way to spark memories, create conversation, reminisce with a family member with cognitive issues.

They are set up for an older generation, but can be used by anyone – even for toddlers developing motor skills.

The genesis for this idea in our library came with a donation from the Wyoming State Library. Through their Cares Act funds, they donated memory care items to each library in the state.

Thanks to our Crook County Library Foundation, we were able to purchase more items and assemble six kits, each of which contains a game, puzzle and fidget devices. The kits can be checked out by anyone with a library card, free of charge.
