#AlzChat - what about autumn poetry? ‘Fall, leaves, fall; die,flowers, away; Lengthen night and shorten day; Every leaf speaks bliss to me, Fluttering from the autumn tree - Emily Brontë

#AlzChat This autumn activity is artfully messy but the results are pleasing! People enjoy the painted cones as table displays. You can add eco-friendly glitter for that extra special sparkle!

#AlzChat The opportunity to gather leaves for pressing still creates a buzz of excitement among the families we've worked with who are living with dementia- This is a process of sorting, choosing, deciding, pressing leaves on sheets of paper beneath heavy books (or a press)...then making a collage.

#AlzChat Last month we mentioned memory boxes. How about creating an Autumnal box. Fill a box with pine cones, acorns, beechnuts, gourds, cinnamon sticks, orange and gold fabrics etc to create a sensory activity that can stimulate stories or words related to Autumn. (photo C Giles with permission)

Interesting discussions about arts in dementia care not just for soothing or distracting - but for true self expression, emotional release too - processing anger,grief (emotions generally passed over in care). Shared a story re this in puppetry in dementia care p115.

Kindness feels good, especially for the person being kind. It's good for the brain (feel-good hormones). Consider supporting people living with dementia to offer kindness themselves e.g. wrap gifts, donate items to charity, support a friend in need, listen to children read, bake for ppl, send cards.

#Caregiving is a master class in humility. We learn that we cannot fix every problem, can't meet every need. So much is beyond our control and more things change than remain reliable. What we can give relentlessly, deeply and tenderly is our #love. #Alzheimers #dementia #quote

Of all the lessons I've learned through my years of caregiving, the most important is to keep the love connection going. Just tell them you love them again and again and again. You will never say it too much, ever.

#Caregiving for a person living with #dementia says more about what is in your heart than words alone could convey. #Alzheimers #quote

“There are some people who could hear you speak a thousand words, and still not understand you. And there are others who will understand — without you even speaking a word.”
