Why Choose This Activity
Describe Scene supports warm, unhurried conversation on Memory Care when you want to encourage noticing, naming, and sharing memories. There are no wrong answers - a rich exchange matters more than listing every object. Scenes range from everyday moments to places that may spark personal stories.
Ready-made invitation lines and per-scene discussion leads give caregivers a gentle structure without scripting the whole conversation.
How It Plays
Choose a scene or Random, tap Start, and read the invitation line together. The caregiver follows the person's lead and can tap ? for picture-specific prompts. Tap Done when finished, then rate the description before the next scene.

Facilitator Tips
- The blue ? button is for caregivers - it opens questions tailored to the current picture.
- You do not need every prompt; pick one that fits the moment.
- Listen more than you lead - follow tangents and memories that arise.
- After Done, rate 1–5 how the description went; this step is required before the next scene.
- Random works well when choosing feels like too much effort.
