Happy #Halloween! 🎃🦇👻 If you're out trick-or-treating later, we hope you have a spook-tastic time! But remember - not everyone enjoys a scare. Please be considerate and respectful of others, including people #LivingWithDementia who may not be joining in.
Last chance to look at posts for The National Day of Arts in Care Homes #AICH2022 bit.ly/2lHJNnx. So much inspiring work involving arts in care provision being done in care settings across the UK, often in partnership with artists and the local community. Thank you all!
Many thanks to everyone who has been part of The National Day of Arts in Care Homes! Please keep sharing what you have been doing #AICH2022 bit.ly/2lHJNnx and add your floral images to the @NAPAlivinglife @DrawingLifeUK #FieldofFlowers bit.ly/3SuYYKX.

Thank you to @DrawingLifeUK Our residents have had a great time with these sketch books. It has allowed us to create conversations and given them space to be creative and express themselves. #startingconversation #Abbotsfordcare #carehomeart

Do you have a parent diagnosed with an inheritable type of #dementia such as frontotemporal or familial Alzheimer's disease? Researchers want to understand the impact of having a parent with an inheritable type & thoughts about genetic testing. Email: [email protected]

There was another wonderful moment during #music yesterday. A chap joined us & started ‘pruning’ a nearby tree. He was clearly focused on his task, stripping back the leaves on a couple of branches. All became clear as he began to conduct us w his batons! @stepchgdesign #dementia
