Often said by Karrie Marshall "respond to people's feelings, beneath the words- and be reassuring". Here's a quote by Christine Bryden (with lived experience) “We know the feelings but don’t know the plot. Your smile, your laugh and your touch are what we connect with” #AlzChat

#AlzChat 3pmEST/8pmUK Topic today: supporting spirituality and personhood in dementia care AlzChat

Saw a post earlier... about the power of music and hymns to reignite something in a person that may at times seem lost... and that stirs the soul in other people too. #Connection #AlzChat

#Spirituality quote today #AlzChat (spirituality and personhood in dementia care topic today)

Good to be here at #AlzChat ... joining in as and when possible... we're changing hands here at @CreativityCare after over a decade. Still doing socially engaged arts / community arts. Great topic today: 'Theatre, poetry and storytelling in dementia care' Hilgos Foundation

Poetry In Motion grew out of Creativity in Care’s 2014 project ‘Old Possums’ working with people of all ages, including ppl living with dementia who wrote fabulous poems of the moment, or a memory, plus group poems. #AlzChat

A group poem by ppl living with dementia: 'Poetry In Motion' book. You would need thermal underwear Get the log house insulated Find plenty of logs to burn Have a kettle on a long chain Boiling in the old hearth fire Fetch oil lamps and big white candles Make it ...cosy #AlzChat

Mary Margaret so true! There is a wisdom and connection that many people miss because they are busy counting the mistakes or lost words or symptoms. 😘 #AlzChat

Some individuals write notes about what they want to share; and more importantly about how they wish to be treated by their family / friends. The diagnosis may come as a shock, or a relief. It's important to be clear about what would help induce a supportive response. #AlzChat
