Running Meaningful Care Matters training today on the mealtime experience in #carehomes Always amazed by the amount of debate about having condiments on tables for people with #dementia Lots of imagined risks. 😣 How do we address these fears to support people to enjoy these?

HELP NEEDED: Could you spare a couple of hours a month to help us provide support to people living with #dementia. We are looking for people to join our committee and help us run our monthly cafe. Drop us a message here if you are interested. Or support us with a retweet/like ❤

Understanding how #dementia is different from natural old age can really help you or your family members spot signs of dementia early.

We encourage anyone who knows someone with dementia to continue to keep in contact, whether that’s by paying a visit or making regular phone calls. There is so much more to a person than their dementia, and regular contact can do so much to help someone feel less alone.
