I’ve spent every Monday with a wonderful man called John who lives with dementia how lovely is this response to him seeing my photo 💜

@Aspirantdiva @mancunianmedic @lungsatwork @trishgreenhalgh @adamgordon1978 @KateLeeCEO @bethyb1886 @ProfRobHoward @vhartsw @doctorshaib @NakedScientists @doctor_oxford @RichardnotatKF @AnnaSeverwright They should feel the same about you. I all the time remember your concerns about dementia care for people who don't have any family.

Late recommendations to follow. @mancunianmedic @lungsatwork @trishgreenhalgh @adamgordon1978 @KateLeeCEO @bethyb1886 @ProfRobHoward @vhartsw @doctorshaib @NakedScientists @doctor_oxford @RichardnotatKF @AnnaSeverwright @Aspirantdiva

It’s great to know incl people with dementia has increased, although its not related my point. Having a great time, catching up face to face, being included, etc, for me, does not equate to change if #services & #support are still lacking

@bethyb1886 thanks Beth xx

An emotional quote from Beth Britton (@bethyb1886), speaking about her father who sadly passed away after living with dementia 💔

Unfortunately, this is the reality for too many people, which is why further funding towards #dementia #research is vital.

@bethyb1886 @piponthecommons @Dochayter @Christi88327875 @ZoeHarris_FRSA @alzheimerssoc @KateLeeCEO @jaimeelewis Lovely thank you Beth and Jaimee, looks perfect x

@MacFamilies @meetmacintyre @Furniss8Rachel @NickyThurgood13 @bethyb1886 @willenhospice Well done to each of you this is an excellent piece of on going work that demonstrates the positive impact @HealthLD can and does make in people’s lives

Our residents handprints tell a thousand stories 🤲 This activity sparked so much conversation about their past 🥰 #handprint #memory #MemoryLane #care

Academy Lead Admiral Nurse, Dr Rachel Daly, shares some great tips for communicating with someone with #dementia, including using the acronym TRY HARD 👇

First #podcast recording 2023 happening today with part of @meetmacintyre wonderful #DyingToTalk team @Furniss8Rachel @NickyThurgood13 @bethyb1886 sharing the highs & lows & the wonderful support and training the team provides everyone @willenhospice #ProudToWorkInSocialCare 💜

@bethyb1886 SO appreciate the blog you shared, today, on AlzChat… especially, “working side by side”. This certainly works best for my love and me, in many situations. We support one another, verbalize with one another, problem solve…all making for a positive experience. TY💜

Ah thanks Beth you all too 💜 https://twitter.com/bethyb1886/status/1612432857120796673

@bethyb1886 @artsaging @DiverseAlz @helenfindlay @DementiaFink and all who RT, Listen/ Contribute to #AlzChat Thank You. May 2023 be the best possible for you. Back Mon 3pmEST/8pmUK new topic.. an old favourite request. @IRememberBetter @creativitycare

@creativitycare @IRememberBetter It's very disappointing to hear/read in current circumstances, particularly in UK, that social care being reduced to bed counting rather than about people & what they want/need. Short-term 'fix' that can lead to big problems #alzchat

My wish for 2023 would be for more people to truly see and appreciate the abilities/preferences/hopes of individuals living with dementia, and that the stigma surrounding the diagnosis would abate. #AlzChat

#AlzChat Hope for dementia care in 2023 : that more people discover the power of music and art in dementia care https://twitter.com/RexChapman/status/1610334660898193409

This is from a 2018 study, but we hear similar from families: 84% of goals set by ppl living with dementia were non-medical...Most often, the goals focused on improving quality of life https://www.healthinaging.org/blog/setting-personal-goals-for-dementia-care/. #AlzChat

@bethyb1886 blog echoes what I have also been asked - about supporting independence in dementia care. Positive dementia care includes managing staff or carer fears & dilemmas - (a natural part of supporting independence). Great Blog! https://d4dementia.com/2022/12/resolve-to-challenge-assumptions-about-independence.html #AlzChat

Hi great to see you here @bethyb1886 and the best possible new year to you #AlzChat https://twitter.com/bethyb1886/status/1612540788189044755

great Blog by @bethyb1886 about supporting independence in dementia care... i.e. supporting staff, carers and ppl with dementia to manage risks.. and see with fresh eyes as often as possible the impact of words/ restrictions/ 'doing fo'r etc #AlzChat https://twitter.com/bethyb1886/status/1612433312177393666

@IRememberBetter @creativitycare @nursesKidONE @AlzJoyThruTears @SrCareCorner @bethyb1886 @UnicornSpark @Mycarematters Activities centred around food preparation/enjoyment can help to activate memories along the continuum- smells of baking/cooking can remind individuals of holidays past and encourage conversation and connection. #AlzChat

@incommonlondon Do you work with older people in a care home setting?

We've been working with @Learning4thAge to think about how #TheJanuaryChallenge could be used by staff and older residents.

Together, we’ve created a free resource, download it for FREE here: https://buff.ly/3j7CP98
