Sharing memories. Recalling positive experiences and memories from the past can provide a meaningful activity. In this topic we focus on ways to share memories. 💚 dementiatogether.online/home/memories

Cate Pemble sharing her fascinating research including ‘people living with dementia are 3 times more likely to have an adaptation to support their physical function than cognitive’ . A challenge for OTs ! Prof Elaine Hunter RCOTSS Housing #rcothousing2024

Aphasia means difficulty with language - word finding difficulties, understanding what words mean or struggling to organise thoughts into words. Learning about aphasia supports people who have aphasia. Sharing communication matters. #WithSLTuCan

Being outdoors isn’t always an accessible option for people living with #dementia . A #fall can knock confidence. Threshold #steps can be insurmountable. #AHPs can help overcome barriers & support outdoor access with individualised goal setting. With AHPs you can!

Being outside, interacting with nature offers a wonderful opportunity for activities that promote sensory stimulation, relaxation & physical exercise. 💡 Use plants of contrasting heights colours, smells & textures can provide interests in all seasons 🌷 🌻 🌳
