#AlzChat A recent project with #NairnBookandArtsFestival in care homes created some beautiful fabric images on the theme of home/ sense of place. This one is of a farmhouse where the lady used to live. It had a chicken shed and flowers almost up to the roof. @creativecaring.bsky.social

#Alzchat hi everyone - I’m lurking here and glad to see faces chatting ( that sounds ridiculous)

#AlzChat I recently bought postcards on eBay about 'the home & shopping'. Great as reminiscence prompts. Many are 'used' postcards with messages to loved ones and friends about ordinary lives, which add to the experience. @irememberbetter.bsky.social @natrese.bsky.social @creativecaring.bsky.social

#AlzChat One of my favourite activities with families (particularly in dementia care) is to create a simple grid using pieces of ribbon, and support a person to place an object in each square to talk about. These may be all related- or different themes.

#AlzChat Reminiscence (especially using the five senses to help prompt) can be expressed through conversation, art, poetry, painting, movement etc. It can be highly stimulating, comforting, inspiring, meaningful and moving. @alzchat.bsky.social @irememberbetter.bsky.social

#AlzChat Offer people choices for what to reminisce about. Use objects, images, sounds, newspapers and stories as prompts for recalling experiences around the topic. This can be done on a one-to-one basis or in a group.

#AlzChat Reminiscence in dementia care is about recollecting or connecting with memories, feelings and experiences related a particular topic or theme (home, children, cooking, car repairs, football, occupations, marriage, sweets, travel) @irememberbetter.bsky.social @creativecaring.bsky.social
