Love this quick video of DrDr (😊)Wendy Mitchell training her #Alexa to give reminders . With the help of Alastair Cox

Great opportunity to meet other PhD students and early career researchers to talk to mentors over lunch at #bpos2019

Calling all carers who haven't had a carer's assessment because they don't think they need one. Local councils need to know how many carers are on their patch to provide a case for accessing services. Pointed out to me during my assessment yesterday! carers.org/article/carers…

The crew about to embark on #memory walk for ⁦Alzheimer's Society⁩ across ⁦humber bridge⁩ - reckon we would have been drier if we had swum across the Humber!

Absolutely!

On Tuesday my dad had a break-in and thieves stole his most precious possession. His mum, who died when dad was a boy, had saved up for months to buy him an Austin Pathfinder pedal car. He has owned it for 70 years. Please RT in case it might help & someone might see it for sale.

I'm really interested to hear about your experiences as part of my Alzheimer's Society funded research at Leeds Beckett Centre for Dementia Research. If you would like to know more, please email [email protected]. Please RT. Thanks!

Innovations in Dementia Hi there! We've written this blog post about how to safeguard people living with dementia during this crisis: alzheimers.org.uk/blog/coronavir… Hope this helps!

Twitter world do your thing- I need to get this to care homes- PLEASE RETWEET - 👂👂 ❤CARE HOMES How can Alzheimer's Society help if you have closed your doors? What would be useful?? We have so many dementia friendly resources but what would really be useful now?❤

Really pleased to be able to write a short blog for Leeds Beckett Centre for Dementia Research about what it's like when your mum has dementia and is living in a care home during Covid-19.

I visited one of the hardest hit care homes in Peterborough. 7/18 residents died in two weeks. The only place I have visited that took every single precaution perfectly to no avail. They had no help & no guidance. They were distraught. It is appalling to blame them.

Really enjoying sharing mum’s conversational meanderings. Today she conjured up a type of wallpaper that is actually a very thin screen connected to the internet so you can change your decor to match your mood or the weather! #dementia #carehomes #inventionideas

In our latest blog David discusses his experiences of caring at home for his mum with dementia during lockdown. It is a reminder that many families still cannot access vital services and support that are so important for their well-being freedementiatraining.wordpress.com/2020/08/04/a-c…

We are looking to speak to people who have experience of both dementia & cancer, to help us with a funding application we're developing. Please get in touch via twitter, or email [email protected]

We've asked our experts to explain the government’s visitor guidance for care homes in more detail, and what it means for families with loved ones living with dementia in care homes. Find out more below: alzheimers.org.uk/blog/care-home…

Now we are In Tier 2 my mum’s care home has been told relatives can no longer visit using their completely safe visiting room which is accessed from the outside and has a floor to ceiling sealed Perspex screen. But we can still go and have our hair done and a coffee at Costa 🤦‍♀️

‘Family carers aren’t just visitors, but the people who know their loved ones best, know how to get them to eat, laugh, take their medicine.’ Support our campaign to make sure families can see their loved ones during lockdown: bit.ly/391ES7x dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8…

Great to see that mental health services are changing in Cornwall. Not sure why this is being advertised on Harrogate station though. 🤔
