Older adults, especially those with dementia, might have difficulties with everyday activities, but they still need to feel successful at something. By engaging in failure-free activities, they always come out “right”. Try to ask the person to fold towels, clothes or other fabric. The result of the folding is beside the point, so try to focus on the activity rather than the outcome.
