The book explores the implementation of Montessori activities, originally designed for children, in long-term care facilities for individuals with moderate to severe dementia. It highlights the importance of selecting activities that enhance self-esteem and provide a sense of accomplishment tailored to the abilities of these individuals. A study demonstrates that Montessori activities significantly improve participants' mood and engagement compared to traditional community activities, supporting the idea that appropriately designed activities can positively impact those with dementia.
