Revisiting familiar places can evoke memories, offer comfort, and create a sense of continuity. It's not just about discovering new destinations, often, the magic is found in returning to beloved locales. It is an opportunity to meet new people, sample local cuisine,…
I’m bias but I help to curate this - it’s worth a read!!
@WoodheadAndy @DementiaUK Thank you so much Andrew

My Admrial Nurse has supported me like no other.

@IRememberBetter @creativitycare @nursesKidONE @bethyb1886 @UnicornSpark @MyCareMatters @artsaging @THEVDOVault #AlzChat My love and I were so fortunate to learn Brain Health recommendations, However, getting a diagnosis was challenging. We saw NINE doctors, before being referred to an outstanding neurologist, who mandated, “Learning something new, exercise, socialization, The MIND DIET.”
A fabulous opportunity to work at a super #carehome in #Coventry that I’ve worked with! #socialcare #recruitment #workforce

@creativitycare @IRememberBetter @nursesKidONE @AlzJoyThruTears @bethyb1886 @UnicornSpark @MyCareMatters @artsaging @THEVDOVault #AlzChat Absolutely, finding common ground through shared interests can be incredibly powerful in dementia care.
@RakheeLb @IRememberBetter @nursesKidONE @AlzJoyThruTears @bethyb1886 @UnicornSpark @MyCareMatters @artsaging @THEVDOVault So beautifully said. Finding commonalities, or bridges to connection through the arts, music, sports, hobbies, picnics, films etc is such a vital part of the work we do. Families sometimes find they need new ways to connect, & with different ppl. #AlzChat
