Are there any excercises that can improve short term memory in those who have Parkinsons. My dad has it and is always forgetting to shut the front door when he leaves the house, turn off the cooker, close presses...?

Hi Susan--placing notes by things you want him to rememebr might help..It will be real important since he is out and about to have the telephone numbers and address of where he lives on a necklace braclet-wallet..It is possible he may get out and become lost..My dad has Parkinsons and ALz. so I do understand..You also could get timers for stove etc..It might prove inconvenient especically if he is cooking and timer cuts his stove off..
