Dementia is a common problem in the elderly, primarily due to aging and disease. Non-pharmacological interventions such as puzzle therapy are a safe and effective option for managing this condition. To evaluate the implementation of puzzle therapy in nursing care for elderly people with dementia at the Tedakoen nursing home in Okinawa (Japan). This study used a case study of a 92-year-old woman with dementia and cognitive decline. The puzzle therapy intervention was conducted for three consecutive days, with each session lasting 15-30 minutes. There was an improvement in cognitive function in the elderly with dementia. Playing puzzles can reduce the level of dementia in the elderly, so this therapy can be used as an alternative to improve memory in the elderly, as it stimulates the elderly's brain to function and remember. Puzzle therapy has an effect on the cognitive function of the elderly with dementia.
