Your First Box
Created by a nurse and fellow caregiver, your Cardinal-box will arrive with activities hand-picked by me, Kristie - aka The Cardinal Nurse! Because I’ve been there too, I have carefully chosen each activity to brighten your day, keep your loved one’s brain active and bring opportunities to create new memories. Your box will include a blend of reusable (can be used overand over) and consumable (can only be used one time) activities.
What's Inside
Each box will include 3-5 activities focusing on different aspects of cognitive stimulation. The activities will range from ones that use language skills, sorting & pairing, logic, critical thinking, problem solving, visual puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, art projects, number games, tactile stimulation, physical activities and more. Each item is carefully curated for quality and appropriateness of use with persons living with dementia. Many of the activities can be played with multiple generations including children, allowing cross-generational fun! Learn more about what's in each box by clicking here.
Join Our Community
When you subscribe to receive your first Cardinal-box, you will receive an invitation to join our private Facebook community. Our community will provide you with additional ideas for using your activities. My goal for our community is to be a place to share fun ideas and connect with other cardinal-boxers!
Care For The Caregiver
At Cardinal-Box, we see every delivery as an act of care—from one caregiver to another. As a nurse and someone who’s cared for a loved one with dementia, I understand how tough and lonely it can be. That’s why each box is created to lift the spirits of both the person with dementia and their caregiver. You’re also invited to join our private Facebook group, where you’ll find support, connection, and tips from Kristie and the team on how to make the most of your box. You’re not alone.
Professional Caregivers
Cardinal-Box is a valuable tool for professional caregivers, offering ready-to-use, nurse-designed activities that create meaningful moments with those they care for. Whether used with one client or taken with you to different homes, the materials are designed to be easy to implement, requiring minimal prep while maximizing connection. As a caregiver, your time and energy are stretched and your collection of Cardinal-Boxes supports you by providing thoughtful, dementia-friendly resources. It’s a boost to your care toolkit, designed by someone who understands the challenges and rewards of your role.
Makes A Great Gift
Cardinal-Box makes a meaningful and thoughtful gift for anyone caring for a loved one living with dementia. You may live across town or even across the country and want a tangible way to show your support to someone who is doing a great job as a caregiver.
