#AlzChat "become a 'music detective' and build personalised playlists for the people you're caring for." @PlaylistforLife

@Annagoge shared a lovely video of a lady who used to play the church organ, fluttering her hands to some music as she lay in her bed. We intrinsically respond to music. Our brains connect with the rhythms, patterns & sounds of music. #AlzChat

@IRememberBetter @creativitycare @nursesKidONE @AlzJoyThruTears @bethyb1886 @UnicornSpark @MyCareMatters @artsaging @THEVDOVault @helenfindlay @wecaredesign #AlzChat Sometimes it helps to explore professional services early => respite care, adult day programs, or counselling services. They can provide relief, ease workloads & offer expert support tailored to carer's needs. Taking this step allows carers to prioritise own wellbeing.

@RakheeLb @IRememberBetter @creativitycare @nursesKidONE @AlzJoyThruTears @bethyb1886 @UnicornSpark @MyCareMatters @artsaging @THEVDOVault @helenfindlay @wecaredesign Yes, there can be great relief in acknowledging how things are. Many ppl experience some sense of injustice, distress or anger about finding themselves in a role they did not choose (either as a person living with dementia or as a caregiver). It's a clarifying time. #AlzChat

@IRememberBetter @creativitycare @nursesKidONE @AlzJoyThruTears @bethyb1886 @UnicornSpark @MyCareMatters @artsaging @THEVDOVault @helenfindlay @wecaredesign #AlzChat Acknowledge & celebrate small +ve moments or achievements in daily caring to boost morale. Whether it's a smile, a moment of clarity, or successfully completing a task, recognising these victories can help create a sense of accomplishment & positivity amidst challenges💜

@IRememberBetter @creativitycare @nursesKidONE @AlzJoyThruTears @bethyb1886 @UnicornSpark @MyCareMatters @artsaging @THEVDOVault @helenfindlay @wecaredesign #AlzChat It is completely natural to feel moments of resentment when providing care around the clock. It is a demanding role, both physically and emotionally. Acknowledging these feelings without guilt is important. It is a natural response to the challenges of caregiving.
