I tried thinking way out of the box for my mom. She used to sew so I gathered up some swatches of fabric and had her help me put them in stacks of prints that went well together. I was making a craft out of little pebbles once and had her go through them to pick out ones that would work for this or that. Jigsaw puzzles. Coloring, especially if I did it with her. She has a baby doll now she keeps an eye on. Unfortunately, she can't do much of anything now but sleep. There's a book called Creating Moments of Joy - and it has some great ideas. Hope you find something - or lots of somethings - to help.
