Chris Bryant Get them out

Just seen the oft quoted ‘1 in 2 of us are affected by dementia’.

This is scare mongering. if we know someone living with dementia we just know them, help them, enjoy them. We are not ‘affected’ by them.

1.3% of the population have dementia at some stage, early to late.

A good life sell by date?
How long is a good life?

Have been SO impressed to see the representation from Asia + The Pacific🌏 ADI #ADI2024 💪 The common language we’re all speaking is how to empower persons living with #Dementia + their #Caregivers
Very grateful to have received a Bursary for complimentary virtual access

Today, I am very sad to announce the following statement 😔
I want to thank West Yorkshire Police and my neighbours and friends who were there for me in these difficult times.

I keep getting phoned by SaTH appointments, told to call a number, with no time to write it down, ditto a call reference…so I cannot call back.

Stoopid. Now I don’t know if my appt next week is cancelled (again) or if it’s just a reminder.

Pls change this system.

I love these.

Good morning 😊
My eyes didn’t want to open this morning !🤣
I have 2 pieces this morning, not what I quite had in my head when I set out to paint them, but it shows that sometimes if you don’t succeed…don’t give up!
Try again 😊
Because next time you might surprise yourself!

It's #FridayFollow Day again... and I've recently set up my own personal Twitter account.

I’m indebted to the work of the late Tom Kitwood & Kathleen Bredin which underpins my approach to #PLWD . Learning to step away from ‘our customary patterns of over-busyness… & extreme talkativity, into a way of being in which emotion & feeling are given a much larger place’ T.K

Nicky Twigs and Toads💙🕷️🕸️ Debbie Carroll Exactly! It’s all about the culture of the care home & recognising the value of time outside. The one w roaming chickens & open doors sounds wonderful!
But plastic lawns & no access is so sad. We need homes to see that the benefits far outweigh the risks for mobility & wellbeing

Anna Park Debbie Carroll Yes! A Council run care home a relative had short stay in was amazing. Chickens wandering around and residents feeding them. Doors wide open. In another, if living upstairs absolutely no access to outdoors unless accompanied by relative. If living downstairs, plastic lawn.

Nicolle Mitchell🏳️‍🌈 Debbie Carroll Yes my mental health wld suffer instantly w no access to the outdoors. I’d like to see a future where the right to spend time outside is embedded in our #care . I was a big fan of The Abbeyfield Society’s pre-covid ‘Breath of Fresh Air’ programme by April Dobson abbeyfield.com/blog/we-are-na…

Anna Park Debbie Carroll Too right!
as you are no doubt aware
without the sounds of nature
after 6 months
our mental health spirals downward

I feel so sad for people who may never go outdoors again & feel the breeze or sun on their cheeks

Why spend £££ on a #care home garden design if the residents aren’t going to use it?
Why don’t we go into the Garden? is a fabulous guide by Debbie Carroll on how to create actively used #gardens . Unlock doors first, use the space you have and then #design w people in mind. 🌱🙌

Step into Spring at our next RAIN session on 14th May at 2pm

Being outside is good for all of us so Why don’t we go into the garden?
