The Music Memory Box has a Kickstarter program that can be filled with music, photographs and meaningful objects to help dementia patients remember things that have disappeared in the fog. I like it.

What a great project! If you haven’t seen it I highly recommend the documentary Alive Inside which focuses on similar themes.
