Dementia Memory Magnets And Familiar Faces — TSO Custom Keepsakes

Caregivers know what photographs can do for a person living with dementia. Familiar faces, displayed at eye level, in places someone passes by during the day, often become quiet anchors. They steady a confusing moment. They give a name back to a face.

Custom photo magnets work especially well because they belong on the side of a metal walker frame, on a closet door, on the refrigerator near the medication. They go where the day is, and they stay there.

How a 3.5-inch photo magnet becomes part of the story

Our custom photo magnets are professionally produced as 3.5-inch round keepsakes. They are big enough to actually see the faces in the picture, but small enough to belong on the refrigerator, the filing cabinet at work, or the side of a metal lamp in grandma's bedroom.

You provide the photograph. We help you make sure the resolution, the crop, and the framing honor the moment. Most people send us a phone photo or a scan of an older print, and we walk them through the rest. The keepsake itself does the work after that — quietly, every day, for years.

Across the Yakima Valley

Families across the Yakima Valley have a way of holding tight to the photographs that matter. We hear it from grandparents in Union Gap, from young couples in Toppenish, and from churches and ministries gathering in Grandview. Wherever you live in the valley — from the orchard roads of Tieton to the riverfront in Prosser — a keepsake photo magnet can quietly carry your story from one chapter to the next.
