By Sydney Han
A caregiver to her grandparents—both suffering from dementia—Sydney has a deep connection to the ways family members or loved ones can help those suffering from progressive memory loss. Sydney's firsthand experiences has taught her that providing an engaging environment is one of the best ways to stimulate cognitive performances. When Sydney discovered hat solving puzzles was an ideal way to spend an afternoon with her grandparents, she took it one step further: she invented the so called Memory Care Puzzle. She wanted to tackle two issues at once: The Memory Care Puzzle is an interactive yet not-overwhelming group activity that also allows Sydney's grandparents to remember her. Sydney believes that caring for loved ones should be a holistic experience; she believes in helping a whole person, not only supporting their cognitive health but their emotional and social needs, as well. She invented the Memory Care Puzzle to bring her parents and grandparents in the same room and put together the pieces of their favorite memories.
Sydney, a social entrepreneur, donates 100% of all proceeds to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. While Memory Care Puzzle is still in its infancy, as the company grows, Edward will remain committed to contributing all profits to Alzheimer’s and dementia research. Memory Care Puzzle models itself after corporate philanthropy, its “Give into/give back” motto emphasizing that every product that gives into a meaningful cause will also give back to the same cause with its profits. As Memory Care Puzzle expands, the team expects that care, awareness, and support for Alzheimer’s and dementia sufferers and their families will, too, continue to grow.

How it Works
The Memory Care Puzzle is a 60-piece, 10” x 14” jigsaw puzzle. You can send your desired photo and the names of the people in the image to sydneydh6@gmail.com, which the Memory Care Puzzle team will transform into a puzzle. A completed Memory Care Puzzle contains a treasured memory with the names of each person underneath their faces so that the puzzle-solver can recall their loved ones as they hunt for the pieces to put the puzzle together.
A Memory Care Puzzle can be many things: It can contain a group family photo, or it can capture a meaningful memory, such as a wedding, honeymoon, or family vacation. You can even inscribe places into your puzzle if you want to help the puzzle-solver remember a favorite destination! The photo and details of the puzzle are entirely up to you. You decide which people, places, and moments matter the most, and we create a puzzle that helps your loved one remember them.
We, at Memory Care Puzzle, care about providing a puzzle that works for you—we will send you a preview of your puzzle two to three days before production to ensure your complete satisfaction. As American novelist, Louis L’Amour, wrote, “No memory is ever alone.” With the Memory Care Puzzle team behind you, you and your loved ones are not alone, either.
