For families and caregivers

Choose a calm moment and a few favorite photos. Let your loved one look for as long as they like. There is no score to win and no wrong answer — the conversation is the point.

• Start with older photos — long-ago memories often feel most familiar.
• Offer the name kindly if it doesn’t come, then move on to the story.
• Ask open questions: “Where do you think this was?” or “What was she like?”
• Keep sessions short and stop while it still feels good.
• Write down what they share — add it to the card’s story for the whole family.

Grandchildren, siblings, and friends can each add photos and stories. Export the deck and share the file so everyone has the same cards.

Family Deck of Cards supports memory, connection, and reminiscence. It does not treat, prevent, or improve dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, and it is not medical advice. Please read the Disclaimer and talk with your loved one’s care team about their needs.
