#alzchat very glad i managed to step in and say hello! I see there is still a time delay which slows us down… but glad to see ideas brewing to improve well being in seniors who are dealing with #dementia … sending positive energy to you all from my corner in Canada 🇨🇦

#AlzChat yes photo albums are fabulous for reminiscence - especially if photos are labelled or little stories / narratives are available. We try to avoid asking ‘ who is this?’ Or ‘testing’ persons memory. 🩷

#alzchat what about looking through old photo albums. Would that be something that might help with memory?

Not everyone can recreate their childhood home like Chris Hemsworth did in his new film. But families can easily use reminiscence therapy with their loved ones who have dementia. Here's how: www.usatoday.com/story/life/h... via @usatoday.com
Chris Hemsworth uses 'reminiscence therapy' to help his dad's Alzheimer's
What is reminiscence therapy? It's the approach Chris Hemsworth is using to fight his father's Alzheimer's disease in his new documentary.

#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
