@IRememberBetter @creativitycare @nursesKidONE @AlzJoyThruTears @SrCareCorner @bethyb1886 @UnicornSpark @Mycarematters @artsaging @KellyBMSunshine Headphones! My tip is to ensure someone can hear well. Test them out of yourself so it's not too loud - start quiet and observe the person closely if you increase the volume. I've found the connection people have with headphones is often deeper than with speakers. #AlzChat

@IRememberBetter @creativitycare @nursesKidONE @AlzJoyThruTears @SrCareCorner @bethyb1886 @UnicornSpark @Mycarematters @artsaging @KellyBMSunshine Music makes such an immediate connection, I nearly always see a relaxation, increased engagement, movement becoming more expansive and often leads to more verbal fluidity too. And the many benefits reach carers too. #AlzChat 🎵💜

Our #StateOfCaring report reveals the crisis carers are in.

Released today, it’s based on our biggest ever survey of unpaid carers, who've told us they’re worried, tired and struggling financially, with little support available.

That can’t go on. The government must act 🧵👇

"There is a reason for everything that is important to a person."

There are also opportunities to make connections by finding out the stories behind the objects that matter to people.

@bethyb1886 writes about finding familiarity in unlikely places.
