What is the best way to entertain an alzheimers patient?.

Asked by Jaybee (220points) October 13th, 2008 from iPhone

I have offered to stay with my uncle who has alzheimers while my uncles wife takes a much needed break. I would like to find out what are the various positive ways that alzheimer patients may respond to what a sitter or visitor does. Can reading to them be a choice? If so what kinds of reading material? Music? What kind?
I would greatly appreciate any information anyone can give me. Please share with me how I may be of better service to this family.
