amrap, You mention that your mother liked to do jigsaw puzzles, there are many large piece/small scene puzzles available. With a little guidance, my wife always liked to put those together. You also might want to try coloring books - there are books for all interests, maybe your mother would enjoy coloring scenes of places she has visited, or of things she liked to do, gardening for instance. I believe the books come in large print, so that they are very easy for one with vision problems to use them. All the best to you and your mother.

@fred1 If your ‘confused’ one likes puzzles, there is a company that makes puzzle portraits. Just find 1 or 2 good family photos that you can email to the maker, and you can pick the number of puzzle pieces. I did this several years ago and the puzzles were fantastic and the whole process was so easy. Let me check again for the website
