Need your ideas and suggestions guys.

Awhile ago my mother had a stroke. Since then she has been recovering well, but it has been slow and sometimes difficult.

Probably the most difficult thing is that she has alot of trouble remembering things and stimulating her memory and this bothers her the most.

I am looking for a small handheld device or game of some sort that serves the purpose of improving memory functions. She still doesnt have full use of both hands, so something that is small and operable by one hand would be best, unless it can sit on a table with little effort involved in setup.

TIA, and please help me keep this bumped

do you mean brainteaser type devices?

sorry to hear about your mother's stroke, those can be devastating to a family...

what about a small puzzle? at first just a small one with large pieces, this should help with fine manipulation and also should stimulate the mind to try remember the pieces.

again, sorry....

consult a professional?

Seriously, most of us aren't psycologists or anything and a professional would know what's available. I think that's my best advice.

Just saw this on Gizmodo a few minutes ago, seems to fit the bill:

Of course we have done that already immediately after she was released from the hospital. She has an ongoing outpatient treatment as well. I am simply asking for any ideas you guys have for memory type games. I am not looking to consult a professional on the forums
