It was a pleasure to be at Lauriston Castle and open the new Alzheimer Scotland Outdoor Brain Health and Dementia Resource Centre this week. I’m sure this will be a great asset to the community and help those in need.

Carers: Ensure your loved one always carries identification with emergency contact information, especially when heading out. This provides peace of mind and helps in case of disorientation. Stay safe! See the Alzheimer Scotland leaflet on Getting Out and About.

Helpful tips to take part in activities in the home: • Don’t pressure yourself to spend long periods of time on activities, short regular sessions throughout the day are equally as beneficial • Set yourself realistic goals for each day, this will help a sense of achievement
