Games for Alzheimer's Disease?

Can anyone direct me to any websites or books etc covering the subject of

"Cognitive rehabilitation and games for Alzheimer's disease"

I am looking for any papers or scientific studies that may have been undertaken particular supporting the use of the game 鈥楧ominos鈥?for the treatment of Alzheimer's patients.

Any help would be very welcome!

Many thanks in advance.

I looked around online and I found a lot of mentions of people with AD and dominos but nothing that looked like a scientific study.
I wouldn't say that playing dominos could TREAT AD--it's more like a simple game someone suffering from AD could still play.
I do a lot of puzzles with my dad--he likes to match up pieces with lines on them, or with words (he can still read, but with difficulty).
You might want to write to the Alzheimer's Association--they are up on all the studies and treatments.
