This house plant leaf was shining through my curtains this morning & it was shaped like a heart. It reminded me to say #thankyou to everyone that has congratulated me & sent heartfelt sentiments since I was awarded #RCNScot 'Nurse of the Year' on Thursday. Keep the ♥️ in nursing!

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

Meaning of home. Explore the meaning of home through the senses with things to chat about, try, play and explore. This topic is brought to you by Occupational Therapist, Angela and you can find out more here cpcs.online/home/home

Conversational responsibility is shared - offering someone with dementia extra time, clear choices & repetition of their own words shows deep respect. Following & responding keeps the chat moving. #WithSLTuCan

Carers: As warmer weather approaches, it's crucial to ensure that those you care for stay well-hydrated. Keep an eye out for dehydration symptoms like dry mouth, dark urine, fatigue, and dizziness. Hydration is key to staying healthy! Offer regular cool drinks #alzscot

Helpful tips to take part in activities in the home: • Make sure there is good lighting by being near a window or using brighter lightbulbs. Extra lighting such as lamps can also help • Have a clutter free area and reduce background noise such as turning off the television

Difficulties at mealtimes may not only be about difficulties swallowing. Fatigue/ drowsiness, poor appetite, oral health, uncomfortable reflux or preferences all add up. Multiple variables matter. #WithSLTuCan

Carers: As your loved one’s dementia becomes more advanced, they get more confused and forgetful. That means they’ll sometimes forget who you are. That doesn’t mean they love you any less. The older a memory is, the longer it stays with them. Seek support Alzheimer Scotland.

What Matters Building things that you find meaningful into your daily routine is really important for mental and emotional wellbeing. Here we invite you to spend time thinking about those activities that offer a sense of purpose and bring enjoyment.  cpcs.online/home/what-matt…

During warmer weather it is easy to become dehydrated. Include foods that are have a higher water content such as melon, salad vegetables, sorbets or ice lollies. You can make homemade ice lollies with fruit juices, diluted or fizzy drinks such as lemonade.
