Words of love peppered around a home/room can be reassuring affirmations when a person living with dementia can read (this can fluctuate)
They are also touchpoints to be read by supporters naturally affirming safety & a sense of being home

Clean lines? Or cosy comfort?
Mine: squishy cushions aplenty, patchwork, quilted bedspread, fluffy blanket, kitty!

the stuff around us that tells a story
an extension of ourselves
weaving context
belonging

a legacy

Touch points of connection
To the wee girl I miss
Bittersweet memories
Of heart-burst bliss
Cat curled around herself
On the squeaky uneasy chair
Draped in soft wool
And strewn with her hair
Her comforting chirps
Warm a quiet space
Reminding me we belong in this place

On my walk home I saw a retired couple sitting on deckchairs directly in front of their house. The sun was on them and loads of school kids were excitedly walking past, having finished their first day of school.
