Thanks for all the interesting answers to my question about 'modern cloisters). I will be retweeting them now, for all who might be interested.

Thomas H Bak Interesting stuff as ever, Thomas. I had a mute, non responsive resident in a nursing home, who only reacted when I spoke to her in Gaeilge (I’m unsure whether that was the language of her youth)

Thanks a lot to Renate Winkler from Guardian Carers for coming all the way from London. Fascinating to hear how important dementia patients & their families find language skills in carers. Congratulations to your brilliant program of providing professional carers with such skills
