For Care Homes, Carers, Residents, Relatives ...You might not want to hear this but ...

After attending a number of dementia workshops and visiting residential care homes over the past months, it appears to me that some care homes may require a 'Happy Days Creative Communicator.'

I know, I realise that's a bit wordy - and mainly because that's what it is - a creative writing and drawing tool that helps carers and residents communicate.

And yes I agree, maybe a creative, slick or comforting name would be more user friendly - and please feel free to suggest titles but in the meantime, the 'Communicator' is a creative place where residents and carers can record information about the resident's past likes, interests pastimes, workplace, hobbies, family, friends and add everyday favourites to help carers learn about their residents' social history.

Finding out about residents' past interests can enhance communication, interaction and activity.
