dementia affects the quality of life of the sufferers. Therefore, the prevention and the
delaying of dementia need to be seriously considered. The two treatments that can alleviate the development of dementia
are use of pharmacologic and non pharmacologic treatments. Non-pharmacologic methods are reality orientation,
cognitive training and reminiscence [8]. Reality orientation involves giving regular information to elderly people with
dementia about times, place to keep them orientated. Cognitive training can improve memory, language and problemsolving
ability among the elderly with dementia [8]. In addition, Reminiscence enhanced the cognitive ability by using past
experiences of the elders such as pictures, music and important persons are brought into their current thoughts [9].
Moreover, the study of the memory training program found memory training program was effective in improving memory
in the elders [10]. Exercise or physical activity such as walking, swimming, etc. can slow down the memory impairment in
the elderly with dementia because the regular exercise increases the blood flows to the brain that encourages the
development of new brain cells. In Australia it was found that the physical activity provided a modest improvement in
cognition over an 18-month follow-up period
