Music is always a great way to connect with a person living with dementia. We have our own Spotify playlist of favourite songs our Springboard family have chosen.
What would go in your playlist?

Copycat Chipotle chicken bowls for dinner! 😋 Cooking is one of my happy places, but dementia can make it difficult sometimes. On those days, I just take my time and show myself grace. Feeding & encouraging people is my love language!! What's yours?💚 #livingwellwithdementia #copycatchipotle
